01Finish first

Choosing bathroom fixtures in Los Angeles

Start with one finish and hold to it: faucet, shower trim, towel bars, robe hooks and even the drain cover. A bathroom where every metal piece matches feels designed; one where the faucet is brass and the shower is chrome feels unfinished. When you choose bathroom fixtures in Los Angeles with us, we lay them out together against your stone and tile before anything is ordered.

Then match each fixture to its job. A faucet’s spout has to reach the right point in the basin; a vessel bowl needs a tall or wall-mounted faucet; a shower needs a valve that holds temperature when someone flushes elsewhere in the house.

Fixtures are chosen with the vanity — the faucet type fixes where your plumber puts the valve and supplies. Planning a whole room? Start with our bathroom remodel overview, or look at floating vanities that pair with wall-mounted faucets. Book a consultation to see finishes together; for the kitchen, our configurator shows the sink run in context.

02Faucets & showers

The main fixture decisions

  • Deck-mounted faucet

    Sits on the counter or basin; simplest to install and replace later.

  • Wall-mounted faucet

    Keeps the counter clear. Needs an in-wall valve at rough-in and a spout length matched to the basin.

  • Thermostatic shower

    Holds a set temperature and flow; showers need anti-scald protection, and thermostatic valves are the most comfortable form of it.

  • Rain and handheld

    A ceiling or wall rain head plus a handheld on a rail, switched by a diverter.

  • Accessories

    Towel bars, rings, hooks and paper holders in the same finish as the faucets.

  • Heated towel rails

    Hardwired electric rails need a GFCI-protected connection and a switch or timer, planned with your electrician.

03Finishes

Fixture finishes and how they age

Many current finishes use a PVD (physical vapor deposition) coating, which is much harder to scratch than conventional plating.

  • Brushed brass
  • Matte black
  • Polished chrome

  • Gunmetal

05See them together

Fixtures, stone and light in one view

Brass reads very differently against warm Taj Mahal quartzite than against white Calacatta marble. We put the faucet you like next to the stone and tile you are considering, under warm light, so the decision is made on the real combination.

Bring your contractor’s drawings if you have them, and we will note the rough-in information for each fixture you choose.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still deciding? Call +1 (213) 776-0000 or send us your plan.

Can I install European faucets in California?
Only models certified for the US market and listed as compliant with California’s flow limits. Many European faucets are made in US-certified versions; ask us to confirm certification for the specific fixtures you like before ordering.
Is brushed brass hard to maintain?
PVD brushed brass is durable and hides small marks well. Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth; avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, which can damage any finish.
Should faucets and shower fixtures come from the same collection?
It is the easiest way to get an exact finish match, because the same finish can vary in tone between makers. If you mix collections, compare the pieces side by side first.
What does a wall-mounted faucet need?
An in-wall valve installed at rough-in, set at a height that clears the basin rim, and a spout long enough to land the water near the drain. We share these dimensions with your plumber.
