When it comes to crafting a sleek, modern bathroom, black tapware is all the rage. Monochrome has taken the interior design world by storm, with many seeking a bathroom that uses one base colour before adding tones, hues, and shades of that same colour to create contrast. With an attractive matt black finish and sleek design, it’s no surprise black taps have become a highly sought after feature.

Why should I choose black taps?

Black taps are:

  • Easy to clean
  • Aesthetically pleasing
  • Resistant to scuffs, scratches and fingerprints
  • Adaptable to changing trends

Black taps are perfect if you’re looking to add something unique to your bathroom design. Matte black taps can transform a simple bathroom design into something stylish and contemporary. Taking the virtual interior design world by storm, black tapware is all the rage across Pinterest boards and Instagram feeds. Dipping your toes in this trend needn’t cost the earth. At Wholesale Domestic, we have a selection of sunning matt black tapware at an affordable price. Here are some of our most appealing and budget-friendly options:

Black Basin Taps

One of our most popular options is the Colore Matt Black Mono Basin Mixer Tap thanks to its stunning contemporary finish. With well-defined lines, sleek design and slimline lever, it is the ideal option for most modern bathrooms. This tap is well-suited to most of our bathroom basins.

Highly versatile, this tap sits perfectly on most standard basins. It looks especially stunning paired with our City White Gloss Vanity Unit and Basin. Use this tap as part of a modern bathroom design for a sleek look that will stand the test of time. Paired with this vanity unit which includes two drawers for ample storage, you have the perfect sink unit.

For smaller basins such as those in cloakrooms, ensuites or tighter bathrooms, discover the Colore Matt Black Mini Mono Basin Mixer Tap. Enjoy all the benefits of the original version in a smaller, more compact basin mixer tap. Larger taps can often look out of place when fitted to smaller basins and have two high of a projection meaning water spillages. This matt black tap is the perfect solution.

How do I clean black taps?

Cleaning gloves and spray

Black taps might seem intimidating when it comes to cleaning, but it’s actually very straightforward. Simply clean with mild soapy water, then dry gently to avoid water marks. Steer clear of using any abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals to avoid scratching the matte surface. For daily dust and dirt, wipe down with a microfiber cloth to keep your black taps looking good.
