There is a plethora of gold hues currently on the market. Where do you start in choosing the finish that is right for your project? And how do you pair gold with your other bathroom fittings and fixtures?

The warm tone of the Phoenix Brushed Gold finish is characterised by the muted lines across its surface and its soft metallic hue. This softness means that this is the type of gold that will complement rather than dominate your room. It will make a statement that is refined and sophisticated, not bold and brash.

Brushed Gold is a modern spin on a traditional gold tapware finish. So, it works beautifully in design styles where you may want to reference the past in a modern, minimal design aesthetic. It can be paired with earthen, natural tones found in timber, terracotta and stone. And works equally well with colour, especially shades of pink from nude to blush.

Phoenix understands the frustrations that homeowners, interior designers and architects face when they specify a gold finish for bathroom fixtures and fittings, only to find that they cannot source all the tapware, showers and accessories in that particular finish.

The Phoenix Vivid Slimline collection, a perennial favourite with its slimline lever handles, will suit any modern interior, and presents the Phoenix Brushed Gold finish across tapware, showers and accessories. This highlights the cohesion that can be achieved when the same Brushed Gold finish is shared across not only tapware and mixers but also shower roses and accessories such as single towel rails, soap dishes, robe hooks and toilet roll holders.

Not only is Brushed Gold in the spotlight in bathrooms, but it is also making a star appearance in kitchens. Kitchen taps have long been the domain of finishes such as chrome or more recently, black. Now, Brushed Gold adds a touch of glamour, with Kitchen Sink Mixers being the jewel in the crown of an island bench or a luxe butler’s pantry.

Not only will these Brushed Gold products look amazing, but they will also have the additional benefit of the longevity and durability of the extensive Phoenix finish warranty.

The Collection highlights Phoenix’s recently launched finishes, Matte White and Brushed Carbon, along with the established finishes of Brushed Gold, Brushed Nickel, Chrome, Gun Metal, Matte Black and Stainless Steel.

The Curated Finishes Collection will inspire both specifiers and homeowners to envisage Phoenix finishes paired with contemporary bathroom materials such as sophisticated tiles, elegant stone and warm timbers. They highlight the cohesion that can be achieved when the same finish is shared across not only tapware and mixers but also showers and accessories such as towel rails, shower shelves, soap dishes, robe hooks and toilet roll holders. The aim is to embolden their choices so as they can progress with selections based on aesthetics, with the additional benefit of the longevity and durability of Phoenix finishes.

Chantelle Malone, Project and Marketing Manager at Phoenix, describes how the concept for The Curated Finishes Collection came to be. “We identified a need for people to be able to conceptualise how Phoenix finishes could complement their upcoming projects. To bring this idea to life, we knew that we needed to show actual product rather than artistic representations. Our requirement was to show how the light moves across our tapware, just as it does in a bathroom and how it can be brought to life in homes with trending materials,” Chantelle enthused. “To help us actualise this vision, we worked with respected Melbourne stylist, Bek Sheppard who curated our living mood boards for us. The result is considered, refined and very on-trend.”

The kaleidoscope of the Australian landscape is represented in the imagery of The Curated Finishes Collection, evoking strong feelings of connection through organic form, textural depth and beautiful dappled morning light. Each finish has its own palette with layers of tone and depth represented in an atmospheric style.

Phoenix chooses the premium plating process that best suits the finish they are aiming to achieve in their tapware, showers and accessories. They use the latest technology and durability standards to provide you with the highest quality finish for any interior design, backed by an extensive warranty.

Phoenix creates bathroom and kitchen fittings through refined Australian design. For over 30 years, they have been trusted to deliver innovation, precision and quality in every product – designed in-house and made with pride – for a timeless experience in the home.

The creation of this tranquil retreat was a result of the collaboration of the husband and wife team, Joel (Orbis Constructions) and Nala Ryan (Nala Design)

Phoenix tapware was specified throughout the spaces. The refined Australian design of the Phoenix products contributes to the timeless experience of Sunhill. Nala and Joel continue to turn to Phoenix for their work. “The importance of a local supplier with an in-house design team, a stone’s throw away, that offers a collection of timeless and functional fixtures can never be underestimated,” Nala explains. “The vast array of form and finishes makes Phoenix an adaptable collaborator in our process, featuring in both our classic and contemporary projects.”

The kitchen sink mixer (Phoenix Prize Flexible Coil Sink Mixer) becomes a statement piece on the gently curved island bench. Nala chose this kitchen sink mixer for its versatility; in that, it instantly performs a hose function with the handpiece detaching from the cradle for extended reach. Prize discretely presents itself as a minimalist mixer when the closed coil spring is placed in its holder.

Throughout the bathrooms, Phoenix Vivid Slimline Up Shower/Wall Mixers have been installed. With their upward stretching lever handles and streamlined appearance, Vivid Slimline Up epitomizes elegance in a durable, timeless design.

Nala chose the Phoenix Brushed Nickel finish throughout the home. This finish is characterised by its warm, soft metallic appearance and brushed lines on its surface. It is a subtle look that pairs beautifully with the design elements seen throughout this home; dark Elba stone, soft grey, and American oak cabinetry along with rendered cement walls. The organic and textural nature of these finishes works beautifully with the gentle statement that the Brushed Nickel finish brings to complement Nala’s designs.

Choosing appliances, bench tops, cabinetry or tapware are as much about asking questions regarding “how will this work for me?” as it is about how they will fit in with a specific design style.

Gone are the days of just wanting a simple kitchen tap. Kitchen sink mixers must meet the needs of the household with enhanced functions such as detachable hoses for extended reach and 360-degree swivel capabilities.

Specially designed to meet these needs, Phoenix has now expanded their Designer Sink Mixers collection to include new products Deja, Linq, Ester and Erlen.

Deja Pull Out Sink Mixer 220mm

Deja features soft curved forms and a dual function, pull out hand piece with switch, which makes preparing food and cleaning the sink a breeze. Deja also has a fixed pin lever and swivel spout for enhanced functionality.

Available in three classic finishes, this sink mixer is sure to complement any kitchen or laundry space.

Linq 316 Pull Out Sink Mixer SS 220mm

The classic stainless-steel finish of the Linq Pull Out Sink Mixer delivers a beautiful, soft, organic feel to a very practical sink mixer. Linq has a dual function, pull out hand piece with a switch to alternate between the two functions.

The 316 marine grade stainless steel construction means that this sink mixer will function equally as well indoors as it will in your outdoor kitchen, with a lifetime warranty on the finish.

Ester Sink Mixer 200mm Squareline

Seamlessly fusing geometric design with a delicately curved lever the Ester Sink Mixer is ideal for any contemporary kitchen. It also features energy saving Cold Start cartridge technology, which allows only cold water to be delivered when the tap is operated from the traditional mid-lever position. This means hot water only flows if the handle moves to the left hot position, saving energy by avoiding the unnecessary heating of water.

Erlen Sink Mixer 200mm Squareline

For kitchens with timeless minimalism at their core, Erlen is the perfect choice. The round geometry of the body combined with the squareline spout has a language of dynamic movement, and the recessed aerator contributes to this sleek and stylish appearance. Functionality comes to the fore in the swivel spout with a 200mm reach capability. Currently available in Chrome, Brushed Nickel, and Matte Black, with two more durable finishes soon coming to the Erlen collection.

Extremely durable with the highest quality finishes, all these new Phoenix Designer Sink Mixers are designed by the award-winning Phoenix design team in Australia and come with a 15-year warranty on their ceramic cartridges. The Phoenix warranty program is a testament to the utmost care taken before their products reach the market.

The Ester Sink Mixer Squareline is ideal for any contemporary kitchen, blending functionality and elegance in one. The tap utilises Cold Start cartridge technology, which produces cold water only when the tap is operated from the traditional mid-lever position.

Meanwhile, Deja showcases softer curves, pairing perfectly with kitchens that follow a minimalist chic aesthetic. The pull-out hand piece with a switch makes preparing food and cleaning the sink a breeze. To add to its attraction, Deja also has a fixed pin lever and swivel spout for enhanced functionality and easy movement.

But that’s not all there is to love about this brand. Phoenix Tapware specialises in different finishes, with contemporary matt black, timeless brushed nickel, the glamour of brushed gold and the feminine warmth of brushed rose gold all on offer. These shades not only meet current market trends and suit a variety of design aesthetics, they will also stand the test of time thanks to the durable materials used in their construction in conjunction with the latest in finishing technology.

It’s simple, really. Phoenix Tapware uses electroplating on most brass products, placing the part in a bath of nickel. This helps remove impurities and protect the brass so it better resists corrosion. Following this, the product is dipped into a chrome solution to achieve the desired colour. Phoenix Tapware also uses PVD (Physical Vapour Distribution) to coat its range of brushed gold tapware, a sustainable process that provides a hard, durable finish with little to no waste.

Eco-conscious ethics are evident in the brand’s powder-coating too. Phoenix powder-coats most of its parts for a smooth, uniform finish which, unlike other similar coating processes, doesn’t harm the environment. In addition, the company’s Zimi powder-coated finishes all come with a seven-year warranty, offering you peace of mind.

Already an elegant, low profile tapware design, the Vivid Slimline Plus range features a beautiful teardrop shape on the side of each handle, which transforms into the crosshair detailing as part of the handle.

These collections boast the inclusion of HydroSense, a revolutionary shower spray technology developed by Phoenix’s design and engineering team that facilitates the delivery of a more relaxing and immersive spray. This cutting-edge patent-pending technology accelerates water flow tenfold, resulting in more even coverage and improved performance in low-pressure environments.
