As we already know, moody kitchens and bathrooms are totally having a trend moment in interiors! But striking the right balance between debonair and overly dark can be hard. The answer? Shiny finishes.

The Metallics range from Oliveri brings the right amount of excitement to any functional workspace. The range of kitchen or bathroom appropriate sinks, taps and basins are available in a range of colours including gold, gunmetal, stainless steel or natural brass so you can add some sparkle to a primarily utilitarian space.

Sub out a regular faucet for a Vilo mixer tap (made in Italy) in brushed gold or gunmetal grey to bring in a hint of sophistication, or opt for a black stainless steel basin instead of the classic plain white ceramic! Both these products give off a lustrous sheen that work in any monochrome scheme – light or dark.

To avoid turning your space into a black hole, consider accessories in charcoal-adjacent shades like the Spectra double-bowl sink in gunmetal grey. This statement piece slips perfectly into a largely dark material palette, adding warmth and interest without swallowing up all the light.

Founded in 1947, Oliveri is a proud Australian manufacturer, and importer of quality products. Browse their Metallics range (and other bathroom, kitchen and laundry products) here – or at stores nationwide.
