10 Best Brass Shower Fixtures

Blair Pressure Balanced Shower Set by Rejuvenation

The Blair Pressure Balanced Shower Set from Rejuvenation has an aged brass finish. It has a sleek and modern design, and comes in four other finishes. This shower set is made with solid brass and features a handheld shower head. Handheld shower heads are not only convenient for showering, but make cleaning your shower so much easier.

The particular set sells the shower head separately, which could be a pro, if you’d rather pick out your shower head. But this does require an additional cost too. I’d recommend this round shower head to go with this set.

Pearson Cross Handle Pressure Balanced Shower Set

This Pearson Cross Handle Pressure Set is from the Warby collection at Pottery Barn. It’s known for its durability, and also comes in bathroom sink brass faucets as well. The knob gives a vintage-inspired look. This set also comes with a hand shower head.

Sumerrain Brushed Brass Shower System

This Sumerain Brushed Brass Shower Faucet System is currently under $200, with excellent ratings. It features a large rain shower head for the ultimate shower experience. It’s made of brass and stainless steel - so it’s brass plated. This would be the perfect brass fixture system for a modern bathroom design, and comes with free shipping.

If you’re completely redesigning your bathroom, a great tip when it comes to stand up showers it to put the shower knob on the opposite side of the shower head. That way, you can turn on your shower without getting sprayed.

How to Clean Brass Fixtures

When it comes to cleaning your brass fixtures, the simpler the better. Avoid using steel wool or other abrasive cleaning tools to clean brass fixtures. You can soak your shower heads in white vinegar to get the hard water buildup or water spots off. Another mixture that works well is mixing warm water with white vinegar and a dish soap like Dawn. Spray it onto your fixtures and let sit. Then you can wipe the mixture away with a soft cloth.

What Colors Go Well With Brass

• Earthy tones

• Emerald or Cobalt

• Deep Grays

• Cream and Ivories

Tips for Decorating with Brass

Mix Metals for a Contemporary Look

Mixing metals throughout a space is a great way to add a contemporary flare to the overall look. The best way to do that is to make sure certain elements of the space match finishes. For example, if your light fixtures above your vanity are a matte black, the other light fixtures in the room should be black too. However, if you want to incorporate a brass finish on your tub and shower, then they should match, along with your sink fixtures.

Choose Similar Finishes

When you’re updating fixtures in a bathroom or other room in your home, you want to be sure the finishes jive well together. One brass finish can look very different from another, so keep that in mind when you’re changing your shower head, sink fixtures, towel racks or other fixtures.

Add Greenery Throughout the Space

To add a pop of color, try adding a faux or real green plant to the space. You can add a small one to your vanity or hang eucalyptus in the shower for a spa-like experience.

Use White Tile Against the Brass Fixture

Brass is a bold color. Therefore, sticking to a white tiled shower or tub will help those fixtures pop against the white. You can also opt to use white countertops in a marble, quartz or other materials on your vanity.

Decorate with Brass or Gold

To tie in the brass fixtures throughout the space, decorate with brass or gold colors. You can incorporate those colors in picture frames, canisters to hold cotton balls or other decor pieces.

Incorporate Wallpaper

While I wouldn’t recommend wallpaper necessarily in a bathroom with a tub or shower, a powder room is a perfect place to incorporate a fun printed wallpaper. Choose one that has flecks of gold in it to tie into your brass fixtures.

Add Wood Pieces to Your Space

If you’re using a lot of white in your bathroom, add some wood pieces throughout the bathroom. You can add a teak stool to your shower to add an earthy vibe. Baskets are another great way to add texture and a deep color, plus they’re great for adding extra storage for towels.

Keep a Simple, Clutter-Free Bathroom

For your bathrooms decor and beauty to really shine, keep it clutter-free. Do a clean out of your cabinets and closets, so you can have a place for each item in your bathroom. It will feel more calming when it’s tidy.

Incorporate a Rug in the Space

Another fun way to add color and texture to your bathroom is to add a rug. It not only gives a fun design element, but also is more comfortable to stand on while you’re getting ready.

Choose a Matte Finish

Though brass finishes are very much on-trend, the shiny brass is definitely not. To keep with the modern theme of brass, opt for a matte finish. We don’t want to go back to what our childhood bathrooms looked like. ;)
