Bathroom Shaving Socket in Oxide Copper

When every detail in a bathroom has been carefully considered, even practical fittings deserve the same attention. This Oxide Copper shaving socket combines everyday functionality with a hand-finished patina that introduces warmth, depth and individuality into the space.

Finished in-house using a chemical patination process, each piece develops its own subtle variation, making it feel less like a standard fitting and more like a considered part of the overall design scheme.

The feeling
Oxide Copper brings expressive warmth and character to a bathroom, with a finish that feels layered, established and quietly distinctive. The natural variation within the patina creates depth that flat, uniform finishes simply cannot replicate.

It introduces a subtle industrial edge while remaining warm and inviting.

Where it works best
This bathroom shaving socket works beautifully in contemporary bathrooms, boutique-style ensuites and interiors where layered materials and characterful finishes are central to the overall aesthetic.

Pair with natural stone, textured plaster, darker cabinetry and warm lighting to enhance the richness of the finish.

Why it works
Because shaving sockets are often positioned close to mirrors and vanity areas, they naturally become part of the visible design story within a bathroom. Choosing a more expressive finish helps these practical elements feel intentionally selected rather than purely functional.

The hand-finished patina brings individuality and depth while maintaining practical everyday charging for electric shavers and toothbrushes.

The design detail
Each Oxide Copper shaving plug socket is hand-finished in-house using a chemical patination process that creates subtle variation across the surface. No two pieces are exactly alike, adding character and authenticity to the finish.

Designed to coordinate with the wider Dowsing & Reynolds Oxide Copper switches and sockets collection.

How to style it
Style with warm stone, aged timber, textured neutrals and layered ambient lighting for a bathroom that feels rich, inviting and full of character.

Oxide Copper works particularly well where you want practical details to contribute to the atmosphere of the room rather than simply blend into the background.
