Step 7: Fixtures and hardware: durability + design
Coastal air can be tough on lower-quality metal finishes. Choosing durable fixtures helps reduce tarnishing and wear.
When selecting fixtures, pay attention to:
- faucet quality and warranty
- finish durability (and how it will age)
- shower valve quality (this affects long-term performance)
If you want a minimalist look, choose fixtures that are simple in form but proven in function.
