The style of the bathroom interior is made up of its details. The classic trend is characterized by high-quality and elegant furniture, perfectly matched colors, pleasing to the eye, and an interior thought out to the smallest detail. Bronze details are perfect for this style. The vintage style of the Victorian era is also in perfect harmony with accessories made of this metal in a delicate and subtle color palette. Many leading designers, not without reason, believe that bronze looks much better than silver or even gold in many stylistic directions.

History of bronze

The characteristic golden brownish shade of bronze blends harmoniously with the warm tones of the ceiling, walls or furniture. The interior, made in beige, cream or gold tones, is visually perceived as pleasant and cozy. Spectacular, but at the same time discreet, it relaxes, calms and contributes to the most comfortable rest.

Bronze has been used as a material for creating works of art for quite some time. Even in the Middle East and Egypt, several millennia BC, it was widely used as the most important decorative material. In European interiors, it began to be used in the New Time. And in the 18th century, bronze began to be used in the interior of Russian palaces, and this alloy was already obtained in domestic industries.

Bronze received such wide recognition not only for its noble appearance, but also for those useful properties that were known in the Ancient East, and knowledge about which everything was replenished over time, as new bronze alloys were discovered and improved.

Stylization or natural material: what to choose for the interior?

Often, for the interior of the bathroom, products are chosen not from real bronze, but from brass stylized "under bronze". Brass is an alloy of copper with zinc and contains minor additions of nickel, iron or manganese.

Products made from this material are characterized by certain features.

  • Low weight. Interior items made of brass "bronze", in comparison with natural material, have a much lower weight.
  • Lower cost.
  • Brass is a lighter metal, close to golden in color. To give it a noble shade and imitate ancient products, patina is applied to the brass.

Natural bronze is an alloy of copper and tin mixed with silicon, aluminum or lead.

Consider the distinctive features of bronze products.

  • High mechanical strength. Due to this property, bronze products are highly durable and allow cleaning products with abrasives.
  • Resistant to water and salt. Bronze products can be immersed in water without corroding and without changing their properties and shape.
  • They have a noble brown tint.
  • Great weight. Bronze accessories feel solid and solid due to their rather big weight.
  • High price. Natural bronze is not for cheap interiors, its cost determines the scope of its application. It is mainly used for solid and chic interiors in Victorian or English style.

Varieties of accessories

The most famous manufacturers of bronze bathroom accessories are Italy and Spain, namely the brands Portofino Latte, Hestia and Potato.

Water faucet

The faucet is the most popular bathroom accessory. It is always in sight, so it should fit into the interior as harmoniously as possible. Vintage style is unthinkable without a chic antique-decorated bronze faucet.

Soap dish or liquid soap dispenser

A soap dish or soap dispenser should be in harmony with the style of the faucet, since they are always used together, and the discrepancy between one and the other will be striking. And made of noble bronze, they will impress guests and delight the owners of the house with their appearance.

Toothbrush holder

Of course, in a rich interior, a toothbrush holder in the form of flowers or animals, or even just an ordinary plastic cup, will look more than ridiculous. The combination of bronze and porcelain will make a completely different impression. The bronze holder in the form of a figurine with a porcelain cup will perfectly fit into the chic interior of the bathroom. The holders can be wall-mounted, table-top and even floor-mounted with elegantly styled legs.

Toilet brush

Even such a seemingly not the most attractive item, it turns out, can become an interior decoration. A toilet brush made of bronze will add a certain elegance and a finished look to the environment. Both floor and wall options can be decorated with various decorative elements. The austere ceramic glass is complemented by a graceful, antique-style handle of any length and shape.

Toilet paper holder

Holders from this material for toilet paper can be made in floor and wall versions. There are options for vertical and horizontal, with a lid, richly decorated with various patterns, or without it. For large rooms, floor models are suitable, emphasizing the richness of the decoration with their appearance; for small rooms, it is better to use a wall mount. The vertical models have a simpler design than the horizontal ones, but made of bronze, they look no less chic.

Hangers and hooks

No bathroom can do without hangers and hooks. Bronze, combined with fluffy towels and plush bathrobes, will add to the charm of the luxurious baths of the Ancient East. Hooks made of this material are perfect for strict English and luxurious Victorian style.

Accessories play a big role in creating a certain atmosphere in the interior. And the material from which they are made is of great importance. Bronze products in the bathroom will bring the bygone era closer and immerse you in the world of chic and beautiful castles, palaces and oriental baths.
