Brushed brass has become the signature finish of our INTEGRA Prima specifications. It’s warm, substantial, and pairs with natural stone, timber, and limewash in a way cooler metals don’t. Here are six rooms where we installed the same hardware family — and how the finish reads differently in each.
1. Chelsea Master Suite — SW3
Travertine walls, honed marble floor, walnut joinery. The brass hardware — towel rails, flush button, access panel — looks almost amber against the warm stone. Reads as antique.
2. Notting Hill En-Suite — W11
Deep green limewash walls, black slate floor, matt black accents elsewhere. The brass stands out as jewellery against the darker palette.
3. Holland Park Family Bath — W14
White subway tile, white grout, brass fittings. Reads as classic London — the finish does the heavy lifting in what’s otherwise an intentionally quiet room.
4. Fulham En-Suite — SW6
Terrazzo floor, painted panelling, marble-topped vanity. Brass pulls, brass mirror frames, brass tap. The finish ties multiple materials into one family.
5. Richmond Wet Room — TW9
Large-format grey porcelain, frameless glass, minimal tile joins. Brass hardware reads as the only warm moment in a deliberately cool room — makes it feel intentional rather than cold.
6. Hammersmith Cloakroom — W6
A tiny 1.1 × 1.8 m cloakroom, pale plaster walls, micro-cement floor. One brass mirror, one brass tap, one brass flush button. Three pieces doing a lot of work.
What the Finish Does Differently Each Time
Brass has more colour temperature than most metals — it pulls warm on a cool palette, pulls neutral on a warm palette, and pulls jewel-toned against strong colour. That’s why it’s such a flexible choice for bathroom hardware specification.
