You Too Can Pull Off Industrial Bathroom Fixtures — Here's How

You've covered all the must-haves for your industrial chic bathroom design. You've got your white subway tile punctuated with dark grout, black-and-white artwork that looks as if it's been pulled from another time. And you think that you have everything covered — but wait. Have you considered little details like the shower faucet? Or, even the lever handle?

To create a truly industrial style bathroom, you'll need to think about things like your shower trim. Plumbing fixtures are a surefire way to bring the aesthetic to your space since metal finishes are an essential part of industrial design. When searching for fixtures, polished chrome and brushed nickel are sure to look just right, but don't count out solid brass — it, too, has an industrial look ​and​ fits within the current trends.

While boutique brands often carry stylish, industrial style plumbing fixtures, don't overlook mainstream companies like Delta, Kohler, American Standard, and Moen. They also have plenty of high-quality options to outfit your lavatory. Need more convincing? These industrial plumbing fixture ideas should do the trick.

Although you may associate silver finishes with industrial style, brass can also live in an industrial bath, especially if it has a muted, timeworn look like the fixtures chosen by Jenna Sue Design Co. for this inviting washroom.
