Brushed bronze
Brushed bronze is a warm, brown-toned metal with a soft satin sheen, sitting between brass and gold and black. It looks at home with natural oak, terracotta, warm white walls and earthy tiles, and brings a slightly industrial feel to a modern room. You will find it on Oslo, Delphine and Docklands frames, and on the Lexington, an illuminated rectangular mirror with a substantial brushed bronze frame and neutral 4000K light. Astoria and Brooklyn share a deep-framed look, one lit and one plain.
Gunmetal
Gunmetal is a dark, cool grey with a metallic depth. It pairs well with grey and concrete-effect tiles, charcoal paint and cooler timber tones, and it feels softer than black next to white sanitaryware. Delphine and Docklands both offer it, including the Docklands Round and Docklands Capsule. For a flatter, stronger outline, see our black bathroom mirrors.
Which taps go with a bronze or gunmetal mirror?
Neither is an Imperial tap finish, so aim to coordinate rather than match. Bronze sits well with brushed brass or antique gold taps; gunmetal suits brushed nickel or chrome. Our tap finishes guide explains each option.
Do bronze and gunmetal frames need special care?
No. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch a brushed finish.
Can I get a bronze mirror with a demister?
Astoria and Lexington have built-in demisters. The plain designs accept a demister pad, sold separately. Browse every finish on our main bathroom mirrors page, or get help choosing at a free consultation.
