Brushed brass tapware has become one of the most loved finishes in Australian bathrooms and kitchens, and for good reason. Soft, warm and beautifully refined, this finish adds instant character to any space while remaining timeless enough to love for years to come.
At The Blue Space, we stock one of Australia’s largest collections of brushed brass bathroom and kitchen tapware, carefully curated from leading Australian and international brands. Whether you’re renovating a family bathroom, upgrading a powder room or designing a statement kitchen, brushed brass finishes bring warmth, elegance and personality to your home.
What is Brushed Brass Tapware?
Despite the name, brushed brass tapware is not made from solid brass. Instead, the term refers to the colour and finish applied to the surface of the tapware.
The brushed texture creates fine, soft lines across the finish, giving it a satin, low-sheen appearance rather than a bright reflective shine. This does two important things:
It diffuses light for a subtle, warm glow
It helps disguise fingerprints, water marks and everyday wear
Most premium brushed brass tapware uses advanced PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating technology, which bonds the colour to the metal surface for exceptional durability, scratch resistance and long-term colour stability.
The result? A luxurious finish that looks beautiful and performs brilliantly in busy bathrooms and kitchens.

Gentle Cleaning Is Best
To protect your PVD finish:
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals and acidic cleaners
Never use steel wool or scouring pads
With proper care, brushed brass tapware will maintain its beautiful finish for many years.
