Matte Black: Bold, chic and versatile

By ROBINSON

Looking for something unique, and more distinctive than standard chrome finishes, for your home’s plumbing and lighting fixtures?

Why not consider a fashionable matte black finish to add punctuation to nearly every design style, without seeming out of place? It’s bold, chic, versatile! With increasing demand from designers and consumers alike, matte black is now readily available across most leading plumbing and lighting brands.

Black gives you both edgy modern hardware vibe when it comes to a chic town house or condo, or creates a more subtle, sophisticated mood in a more traditional home space.
