Latest tap trends: which one best fits your style?

Inspired by the latest trends at ISH Germany, the world’s leading trade fair for water, heating and air conditioning, Amadea Oberholzer, sales consultant and designer at Lifestyle Ceramics has rounded up the latest tap trends that will elevate your bathroom style. As you delve into the world of tap design, one thing becomes clear: colour and natural shapes are essential to the latest designs. 

When choosing a tap, it’s important to consider both form and function. A tap should be easy to use, easy to clean, and should complement the overall design of your bathroom. The latest tap trends offer a wide range of styles and finishes, so you can find the perfect tap to suit your needs. Let’s take a look at the latest colour and shape trends below.

Colours

1. Chrome is a timeless favourite that will never go out of style. Its reflective finish adds shine and sparkle to any bathroom. It’s a classic choice that works well with any décor style. It’s easy to clean and maintain, making it a popular choice for busy households.
   
2. Black taps are the ultimate in sleek and modern design. They add a touch of drama and sophistication to any bathroom or kitchen. The black finish creates a deeper mood, making it the perfect choice for those looking to create a more atmospheric environment in their space. The Kohler Aleo Plus Matt Black range is a great example of this trend.
   
3. For those looking for something completely unique, coloured taps are the way to go. Blue taps are a popular choice for those looking to create an out-of-this-world feel in their space. They add a pop of colour that is unexpected and eye-catching. 
   
4. Brushed bronze taps are perfect for those looking to create a rich, rustic feel in their home. The warm, earthy tones of brushed bronze add a touch of warmth and texture. The Kohler Composed Brushed Bronze range is a great example of this trend.
   
5. For those looking for the ultimate in luxury, rose gold taps are the way to go. The warm, pink tones of rose gold add a touch of glamour and sophistication to any bathroom or kitchen. The Kohler Vive Rose Gold range is a great example of this trend.

Shapes

1. Square taps are quickly becoming a popular choice for those looking to make a bold statement. Kohler Hone and Grohe Euro Cube are great examples of this trend. Square taps are a departure from the typical curved and rounded taps that we’re used to seeing. The clean, sharp lines of square taps add a modern edge to any bathroom.
   
2. For a modern look and feel, slim and sleek taps are the way to go. The Kohler Aleo Plus is a perfect example of this style. The slim profile of these taps makes them easy to use and keep clean. They are perfect for minimalist bathrooms where clutter is not welcome.
   
3. The Kohler Vive is a unique and organic shape that adds a touch of the natural world to your bathroom. Inspired by the movement of ballet, the Kohler Vive is a stunning addition to any bathroom. The fluid shape of the tap is designed to mimic the flow of water, creating a harmonious balance between form and function.

The latest tap trends are all about creating a space that reflects your personal style. From bold shapes to unique colours, there is a tap to suit every taste. Whether you’re looking to create a modern, minimalist space or a warm, rustic retreat, there is a tap to suit your needs.
