Therefore, if your design plan includes a bright, modern look, cooler chrome might be a better bet.
Brass. Brass faucets are perhaps the most long-lasting and easy-to-maintain option. Made of copper and zinc, the brass body of the faucet is durable and sturdy.
Satin nickel is one of the most popular faucet finishes that can be seen in nearly every bathroom style.
