Okay, you have your color chosen. You’ve made a wise choice on oil rubbed bronze for your bathroom faucet and fixtures, but now you need to look at the different styles of bath fixtures to make sure you get just the right one.

Take a moment and ask yourself what your ideal bathroom would look like. Do you like the old farmhouse styles, or a more sleek and minimalist modern design? Are you counting every penny and looking to find fashionable faucets at a discount, or is original bathroom design more important than money? These are incredibly important questions that you will want to answer upfront and will make your research go much faster and be more rewarding.

Some traditional faucet styles that are worth looking at are Restoration and Victorian.

The Restoration bronze faucet is a more farmhouse like faucet that has the white ceramic post knobs that are a nice contrast to the bronze. It is a very Old America fixture style and is great for homes on a little land. Victorian bathroom fixtures resemble the English style that you will see in many period piece films and a very popular for their sophisticated look.

A Modern bronze faucet will have all the ornament stripped away. Typically, you will find symmetrical rectangles and squares in perfect balance. The water knobs and spouts will often be diminished in an attempt to almost become part of the sink and wall. Minimal and unobtrusive is the goal for a modern style bathroom.

Hopefully, this has helped you to think about your ideal oil rubbed bronze bathroom faucet. Have fun with the bath remodel and let us know what your experience was like.

Over the last few years an oil rubbed bronze faucet has become a very popular style of bathroom fixture. With the slow down in new construction and remodeling, it is now possible to find great deals on high-end bathroom fixtures and I wanted to take a moment and talk about what is available of oil rubbed bronze faucets.

To begin with, there is always the classic oil rubbed bronze centerset faucet. Centersets are the type of faucet that you will see in most bathrooms everywhere you go. The faucet itself is one integrated piece that has two separate levers and a spout that are all tied together by a base. Most bathroom sinks are pre cut with the three holes spaced correctly for simple installation. And this is one of the nicest things about this style of faucet. Installation is easy for the do-it-yourselfer and professional alike, which will keep costs down.

Next, you with many oil rubbed bronze widespread faucets. These might actually be more common in the oil rubbed bronze style because it is often associated with more custom higher end faucets. With a widespread faucet, the pieces are individual and the levers and spout can be placed at varying distances. This is what achieves the custom bathroom look especially when used on granite and tile countertops. The only downside to this style of faucet is that they are more difficult to install and therefore more expensive to install because the holes have to be carefully cut out in the countertop.

Finally, there are single lever oil rubbed bronze faucets. Often the single lever faucet has been found above the kitchen sink due to their ease of use, especially for children or adults trying to operate the faucet with one hand full. The single lever above the spout moves back and forth and up and down to control the flow and temperature of the water. The oil rubbed bronze allows homeowners to keep the practicality of the single lever while adding an upgraded look to the faucet.
