Matt Black Bathroom Accessories

Matt black accessories as a full matching set: towel bar, towel ring, robe hook, toilet roll holder, soap dish, soap dispenser, tumbler holder and toilet brush set. Bought together they give a bathroom a single deliberate accent rather than a scatter of different metals.

Matt black reads well against white sanitaryware, pale stone-effect tiles and oak furniture, and it hides fingermarks better than any polished finish. The one thing to be careful of is cleaning — the finish is a coating, and abrasives or acidic limescale removers will mark it permanently.

Living with matt black

• Hides fingerprints and water spots far better than chrome.
• Strongest against white or pale surfaces, where the contrast does the work.
• Clean with a soft damp cloth only — no cream cleaners, no descaler, no bleach.
• Keep to one black tone across the room; matt and gloss black next to each other read as a mismatch.

Also in this range: all bathroom accessories, matt black taps and chrome accessories.

Frequently asked questions

Does matt black scratch or fade?

The finish is durable in normal use but it is a coating rather than plating, so abrasive pads, cream cleaners and limescale gels can mark it. Warm water and a soft cloth is all it needs.

What tap finish goes with matt black accessories?

Matt black taps for a single consistent scheme, or brushed brass if you want a deliberate two-tone. Chrome alongside matt black can work but needs to look intentional rather than leftover.
