On black, you can probably see the limescale spots more clearly, but you can also see them on chrome. You have to regularly clean both.
In general, I think black fittings and door handles are slowly no longer looking modern. I think people get tired of them relatively quickly.
Stainless steel and chrome are timeless; they also fit both dark and light furniture and walls in terms of decor. Overall, that is much more neutral. Since we did not furnish every room in the same style, that was clear from the start for us.
Especially light beige tones and white furniture are very trendy again right now, which naturally clashes with dark accents. We also did not want to limit ourselves too much in case we want to change the rooms in the future.
At the end of the day, it’s simply a matter of taste.
