Art Deco decoration in the bathroom: a focus on brass and golden accessories

Art Deco in the bathroom: discover a style that transcends the ages

The visual codes that define Art Deco

This style favours geometric shapes and perfect symmetry.

Zigzags and triangular motifs organise the space with precision. This symmetry structures each element to create remarkable visual harmony.

Noble materials naturally come to the fore: marble for surfaces, ebony and mahogany for furniture, combined with wrought iron and glass. Colours assert their intense character. Emerald green, deep burgundy, peacock blue and black create sophisticated atmospheres that still make an impact today.

Brushed brass: the very soul of Art Deco

Brass reigns supreme in this universe. This copper and zinc alloy brings that touch of elegance that transforms ordinary interiors into refined spaces. Mirrors, light fittings, furniture and accessories: this material makes its presence felt everywhere.

Golden finishes enhance every surface without ever appearing excessive. Brushed brass, more subtle than shiny gold, captures the light of day and diffuses a soothing warmth in the evening.

This unique ability to play with light makes it a must-have for high-end interiors. In your golden bathroom, brass taps and accessories recreate that precious atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties.

Art Deco is making a strong comeback in 2026

"Neo Deco" is asserting itself as the major trend of 2026. This modern movement reinvents the heritage of the past with clean, airy lines, perfectly adapted to contemporary lifestyles.

Gone are the beige and minimalist interiors: in come colourful and structured spaces. Earthy tones are making a strong statement. Deep reds, terracotta and intense burnt oranges are taking centre stage. Gold and copper accents enhance these surfaces for a refinement that draws on a revisited baroque heritage.

We help you master these timeless codes to create a high-end world that combines history and modernity.

Brushed brass taps: your first decorative choice

Your bathroom takes shape from the moment you choose your taps. This decision directly influences the luxury atmosphere you wish to create.

Match your tap to your type of basin

Brass combines copper and zinc in a resistant alloy. This composition naturally protects against corrosion and withstands high temperatures. We recommend raised taps for countertop basins: their height perfectly directs the water flow into the basin. Wall-mounted recessed versions are suited to spacious areas where the plumbing can be concealed. For classic washbasins, standard countertop taps offer the ideal height.

Three main finishes are available to you. Brushed brass has a satin texture obtained by fine brushing. Polished brass reflects like a mirror. Antique brass reproduces a patinated appearance through specific treatments. These finishes naturally complement the geometric designs and noble materials of the Art Deco style.

Equip your shower and bath in style

Golden accessories transform these spaces into refined wellness areas. Brushed brass thermostatic columns combine performance and elegance. These sets include a fixed shower head and a hand shower. Bath taps come in a variety of configurations depending on your installation: wall-mounted, recessed or deck-mounted.

Thermostatic mixers maintain your preferred temperature and protect against scalding. The brushed gold finish conceals fingerprints and micro-scratches, simplifying your daily maintenance. A soft cloth is all that is needed to keep these surfaces looking their best.

Durable technologies for your finishes

The PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) process guarantees the longevity of your finishes. This technique applies a microscopic metallic layer to chrome-plated brass. The thickness reaches half a micron. This coating resists scratches, impact and cleaning products.

PVD coatings outperform classic finishes when it comes to everyday wear. Electroplating offers an alternative, where chrome or nickel is deposited electrochemically onto the brass. These innovations preserve the brilliance of your fittings for years without any deterioration or tarnishing.

Art Deco accessories and golden touches

Golden accessories create the visual harmony that is essential to your interior. Each element contributes to the sophisticated aesthetic that characterises the style.

The essentials: towel rails and soap dispensers

Brushed or polished brass towel rails suit all spaces. Simple bars generally measure between 40 and 120 cm in length. To make the most of the space in small bathrooms, opt for towel rings and wall hooks, which offer compact solutions.

Wall-mounted soap dispensers with a golden finish naturally extend the aesthetic of your taps. This visual continuity unifies the whole room. Toilet brushes with matching holders complete this golden harmony.

Mirrors and decorative frames

The octagonal golden mirror is the centrepiece of your decoration. Its geometric motifs immediately evoke the 1930s. You will find a range of sizes, from small models to large wall mirrors that visually enlarge your space. Brass surrounds, aged or polished according to your preferences, bring that warmth characteristic of precious metal.

Furniture handles

Details make all the difference in a successful Art Deco bathroom. Solid brass knobs and handles are available in polished, brushed or nickel finishes. Look for the typical geometric shapes: rectangles, trapezoids and herringbone motifs that are the hallmark of the movement's aesthetic. Sizes are adapted to the intended use, whether for your drawers or cabinet doors.

Other details: shower profiles and drainage grilles

Attention to detail distinguishes a truly accomplished atmosphere. The profiles on shower screens with a golden finish elegantly structure your shower area. Even drainage grilles can contribute to this aesthetic: copper and zinc alloy models are a superior alternative to standard versions and extend the golden coherence to even the most technical elements.

Combine colours and materials for a successful harmony

You have chosen your golden accessories? Perfect! Now discover how to create the perfect balance with the right materials and colours.

Colours that enhance brass

Certain shades particularly enhance golden finishes. Emerald green combined with black creates striking contrasts, while turquoise enhances your golden accents. Navy blue and dark green bring intensity and elegance.

Terracotta transforms your golden bathroom into a warm Mediterranean cocoon. Neutrals such as white, light grey and beige soften the overall look and show off your golden accessories to best effect.

Solid wood and natural stone: the perfect companions for brass

Solid wood, in particular oak and walnut, brings authenticity and warmth to your space. Basin tops in natural stone offer durability and ease of maintenance. These premium materials pair perfectly with golden finishes.

The golden rule: 20% maximum

Remember this essential proportion: golden touches should never exceed 20% of the overall visual. This restraint preserves the preciousness of the brass and avoids overload. Combining it with wood and marble naturally balances your interior for a refined and harmonious result.

Embrace the timeless elegance of Art Deco in your bathroom

A successful bathroom in the spirit of the 1920s rests on a few key choices. Brushed brass taps create the foundation of this refined aesthetic, while golden accessories provide the visual coherence so characteristic of the style.

We guide you through this transformation with a simple but effective rule: limit golden elements to 20% of the whole and combine them harmoniously with exceptional materials such as solid wood or natural stone. This balanced approach preserves the preciousness of the brass while avoiding visual overload.

The result is a bathroom that authentically captures the spirit of the 1920s, combining modern comfort with timeless aesthetics. Visit your nearest showroom to discover the solutions that will transform your space into a true haven of refinement.
