Modern National Montpellier

Modern National Montpellier is a matching range of showers and tapware designed to be specified together, so a bathroom or kitchen can carry one consistent look from the shower enclosure through to the basin and sink mixer. If you want your tapware and shower hardware to visually match without hunting across separate ranges, Montpellier is built for exactly that.

What's in the Montpellier range

The Montpellier collection spans both shower hardware and tapware, which is what sets it apart from single-category ranges. Rather than mixing and matching finishes from different lines, you can select a shower mixer, rail, or set alongside a basin, bath, or kitchen mixer from the same range and know the lines, handles, and finish will be consistent throughout.

Showers

Montpellier shower options are designed to pair cleanly with the tapware in the same range, so the finish and design language carry through from the shower wall to the vanity. This matters most in smaller bathrooms and ensuites, where the shower and basin are often visible from the same sightline.

Taps

The tapware side of Montpellier covers the mixers you'd expect for a full bathroom or kitchen fitout, styled to sit alongside the shower hardware in the same collection. Choosing tapware and showers from one range removes the guesswork of trying to match separate manufacturers' finishes, which can vary subtly even within the same colour name.

Choosing a finish

As with most modern tapware and shower collections, finish is one of the first decisions to make. A consistent finish across shower and tap fittings gives a coordinated, considered look, while mixing finishes deliberately can work if you want tapware to stand out as a feature against a simpler shower setup. Think about how the room is lit and what else is finished in metal nearby, such as cabinet handles, towel rails, or robe hooks, since matching or deliberately contrasting these details is easier when your shower and tapware already come from one coordinated range.

Where Montpellier suits

Because the range covers both showers and taps, Montpellier works well as a whole-of-bathroom solution for renovations where you want one cohesive supplier and finish story, rather than piecing together a shower system from one range and basin mixers from another. It also suits ensuites and powder rooms where matching hardware makes a compact space feel more finished.

Buying considerations

• Decide on shower configuration first (mixer only versus a full shower set) so you can select a matching tap style with confidence
• Check that the basin, bath, and kitchen mixers you need are all available in your preferred finish before finalising a colour scheme
• Confirm your wall or benchtop configuration suits the mixer type you're choosing, particularly for wall-mounted shower mixers
• If renovating in stages, note the finish and model names so later purchases still match

Care and installation

Modern National tapware and showers should be installed by a licensed plumber in line with the manufacturer's instructions and local plumbing codes. Day to day, a simple wipe down after use and an occasional clean with a non-abrasive cloth will keep the finish looking as intended, particularly for darker or textured finishes where mineral buildup can be more visible than on chrome.
