Bathroom faucets come in different styles and finishes. Black faucets peaked in popularity in 2021–2022 and haven’t declined since then. Is this trend expected to end in the next few years?

Black faucets gained popularity due to their modern yet sophisticated look. They established their presence in a range of styles, from minimalistic to contemporary, and they fit well in any of them. Add to the benefits the fact that matte black finishes are good at hiding fingerprints and water spots, and you have a recipe for a new hit.

After they peaked in popularity, for a while everyone either had or wanted a black faucet. We remember that boom in demand. Today, the interest in black faucets is 10–20% lower than the 2021 peak numbers. They still look great, especially in sunny bathrooms with a lot of light, or in seaside residences. However, the neutrality of black allows it to be used in almost any style and paired with other metals.

Graphite is another option, offering an even less shiny look than matte black. It is a more luxurious finish and is used even in classic bathroom aesthetics.

All of this shows that black faucets are becoming a timeless finish, and if the trend does not decline in the next 10 years, it will prove this conclusion.
