According to Moen’s Homeowner Trends Report, 38% of Americans redesign their space every two to six years. Decorating a home can feel challenging and with so many beautiful finish options available for fixtures in today’s market, making a final decision can be overwhelming.
“The desire for personal expression is still on the rise and this type of creativity in design contributes to overall mental and emotional comfort,” said Danielle DeBoe Harper, senior creative style manager at Moen. “With that in mind, I always encourage people to embrace their unique personal aesthetic in the home, whether that is modern glam, farmhouse traditional or others.”
Moen believes that choosing the perfect finish should be a fun part of the design process and not a source of stress. Below is a guide on how different popular finishes can harmonize with the home’s overall style story and ultimately make the selection process a little smoother:
- Chrome: A polished, reflective finish that offers a mirror-like allure, it blends into modern, traditional or classic kitchen and bathroom designs and elevates the ambiance of any room.
- Brushed Nickel: This timeless finish adds warmth to a space with classic brushed tones that translates to traditional and more modern looks.
- Bronzed Gold: A soft, warm gold that seamlessly complements a variety of design aesthetics, ranging from farmhouse charm to minimalist simplicity and even a contemporary glamour style.
- Matte Black: This bold finish is modern, yet surprisingly neutral and heightens classic and contemporary styles. It’s the ideal finish for mixing with other finishes to create a personalized aesthetic.
- Spot Resist: Moen’s exclusive Spot Resist finishes resist fingerprints and water spots to maintain the fixture’s brilliance. Available in a timeless, brushed stainless look or nickel.
“Offering collections in popular warm-toned finishes like Lifeshine bronzed gold and brushed nickel and cooler, or dramatic tones like chrome and matte black are simple, yet impactful ways to inspire customization,” said Harper. “These finishes also amplify the fixtures’ designs and allow versatility with other elements within each space.”
