Design trends evolve over the years. We've seen many gain and then wane in popularity. One design trend popularized in the past decade that seems to be holding strong is the use of brushed nickel finishes. Chrome and brass have been popular for years, but the softer look provided by a brushed nickel finish caught the attention of designers, manufacturers and the general public a number of years ago and has not subsided.
We can see this finish nearly everywhere. You'll find abundant choices in these fixtures, small appliances, kitchen faucets, lock sets, door hardware, kitchen trash cans, cabinet knobs and handles-the list seems endless.
Bathroom Towel Holders
A place where this design trend remains strong is in the bathroom. A coordinating towel bar, soap dispenser, and bathroom faucet installed in even the tiniest half-bath says the homeowner appreciates current design trends. It's an elegant choice.
Browse through a catalog for a bathroom hardware supplier, and you are bound to find a towel bar, toilet paper holder, or light fixture in a range of styles.
The traditional look that you see in a New England Colonial home or a small-town southern cottage can be reflected in the fixtures in the hallway, outlet covers in the kitchen, and a brushed nickel towel bar in the bathroom.
Just as you would find accessories with contemporary style in stainless steel or in a black pearl finish, you will find them in a brushed nickel finish. Bathroom trash cans, light switch covers, and the ever-popular brushed nickel towel bar get the modern treatment just as well as they do a traditional look.
Just as you can find your style in brushed nickel, you can find all the functions you ever needed as well. Are you looking for a shower curtain rod? A framed bathroom mirror? The matching trash can, toothbrush holder, soap dish, and toilet paper holder? The space-saving double towel bar or the freestanding brushed nickel movable towel rack? Every practical item you need for accessorizing your bathroom is now available in this popular finish.
Why did this become a popular design trend? One reason is likely maintenance. While polished chrome and polished brass look striking when they are first installed and buffed up after cleaning, these traditional finishes require regular maintenance to keep them looking good.
This finish is just as popular in the kitchen as it is in the bathroom, and that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. The heavy traffic that a kitchen gets makes a brushed nickel finish on a kitchen faucet practical and popular-it does not show fingerprints, scratches, or wear the way a polished metal surface will. With the tremendous popularity of stainless steel sinks and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, brushed nickel faucets and sink sprayers coordinate well with these choices we make in our modern homes. It's no trouble finding the brushed nickel finish in the canisters you find on the kitchen counters, the pot racks we install over a cooking island, cabinet pulls and drawer knobs, and even a brushed nickel towel bar where we can hang our kitchen towels.
Design trends come and design trends go. Many of us remember the harvest gold appliances from the 1970s and the bright orange laminate counters from that same era. They've made their way into history. Other trends have staying power-glass front wall cabinets in our kitchens, well-oiled butcher-block counters, and bright white ceramic subway tile from a century ago. The popularity of brushed nickel finishes appears to be holding strong. Should we expect to see it in our childrens' kitchens? The answer is most likely.
