Chrome bathroom fittings - dated?

[vera16]

Installing two bathrooms as part of renovation. I have a shower I bought ages ago as it was a total bargain but it is chrome. So makes sense to order everything else in chrome to match. But I am wondering if it will make the bathroom look dated? Incidentally I have ordered black taps and shower for downstairs shower room (also worried that they are a fad and will also look dated in a few years but that is another story!). What is the verdict on chrome? I am looking at a modern shaped tap like the one below.

I think chrome is a classic look for bathroom hardware? Shiny and sparkly always looks good.

The matt black trend on the other hand...

We've just had chrome fitted.
I originally wanted black but many people put me off due to the limescale and harder to keep cleaning.

I dont think Chrome will ever date. It's a clean look.

Black will date and may be a nightmare for you if you have anything but the softest water. A friend had it and within 6 months she hates it as she is constantly having to descale it all the time and it looks grubby.

Chrome has been around for a long time - for a reason. In a modern design it is very attractive. I think the trend for burnished brass/copper and black fittings is far more likely to look dated very quickly.

Chrome is timeless surely? I think black will date v quickly and be a bugger to keep looking nice.

Good to hear positive chrome opinions. I am having a water softener fitted so the downstairs black taps may survive but I am going for much cheaper fittings on the basis that I might need to replace them fairly quickly.

I think go for chrome, it’s timeless. Black will date

I think of all choices chrome is the least likely to date

Chrome definitely

You can always have black replaceable accessories like baskets and soap dispensers etc.

Chrome is the one finish that DOESN"T date.

Chrome has been around for decades. The style but not the metal is what will date, but make yourself happy!

Chrome won't date. Like white bath, bog and basin. Black will show every mark.
