The rise and rise of matte black kitchen tapware

The current designer obsession with matte black tapware is more than a passing fad. An increasingly popular choice in kitchens both commercial and residential, matte black tapware’s versatility, style and practicality have it firmly placed as the go-to choice in kitchen tapware. And it’s not hard to see why.

Matte black works with everything

Matte black kitchen tapware has the unique ability to perfectly suit a dizzying range of kitchen design elements. The muted black surface contrasts with glossy tiles, splashbacks and counter tops. Using black tapware is a clever way to bring out the natural beauty and soothing tones of marble, and also works beautifully with wood, both rustic or highly polished, and more contemporary finishes like polished concrete. The matte surface also can be artfully paired with shiny or matte metallics such as copper, bronze, gold and chrome, depending on the look you’re going for.
