7 Small Brass Upgrades That Make a Kitchen or Bathroom Look Custom

Designers know that a room feels “finished” when the small details match the big ones. If you have a brass faucet, or plan to, these seven affordable upgrades tie the whole look together.

1. A matching side sprayer

A brass side sprayer next to a bridge faucet is practical for rinsing and looks period-correct in a farmhouse kitchen.

2. A built-in soap dispenser

Replace the plastic bottle on the counter with a brass soap dispenser that installs in a spare sink hole. Cleaner counters, instant upgrade.

3. A brass air gap cover

Many dishwashers need an air gap on the sink deck, and most come in plain chrome. A brass air gap cover makes it disappear into your design.

4. A brass sink strainer or drain

The drain is visible every time you look at the sink. A brass basket strainer or pop-up drain keeps the finish consistent from faucet to basin.

5. An exposed brass P-trap

Under a console or wall-mounted vanity, the plumbing is on display. A decorative brass bottle trap turns it into a feature instead of something to hide.

6. Cabinet knobs and pulls

Swapping cabinet hardware is one of the fastest ways to change a room. Solid brass knobs and pulls echo your faucet across the whole kitchen or vanity.

7. Bath accessories

Towel bars, rings, hooks and toilet paper holders in matching brass complete a bathroom. See our bathroom accessories.

Tip: choose the same finish

If your faucet is unlacquered brass, choose unlacquered accessories too, so everything develops the same patina over time.
