Hello everyone,
Our ceramic fixtures are mostly set, and now we are moving on to the faucets. We want to have an overall white/gray color scheme in our house with black accents (lighting, stair railings, chair legs, etc.). The idea came up to continue this in the bathroom with black faucets.
There are many different opinions online, ranging from "never again black faucets" to "I’m pleasantly surprised by black faucets." Does anyone have black faucets and can constructively share the pros and cons or their personal experience?
The main argument is usually that water spots are much more visible on black than on chrome; can you confirm this? In other words, do black faucets require more frequent cleaning due to water spots compared to chrome faucets?
We would be very grateful to hear about your experiences with black faucets.
Best regards

Hello,
So, we have now decided on black fixtures. What we still need to decide is whether to go with faucets that have CoolStart or not.
What experience do you have with this system (regardless of the manufacturer)? (In the middle position, cold water comes out, and warm water is only mixed in after turning the handle). The idea is that it saves some energy because the water heater or central heating doesn’t turn on every time, for example, when washing hands briefly.
I think guests might be a bit surprised the first time they use the faucets 😀.
Best regards
