Whether it is your private kingdom of relaxation or just a regular bathroom used by each member of your family, it is very important to choose the right sink faucet to keep the design in harmony. No matter what style you have, our sink faucets can fit any design you can come up with.
Installation Types
There are five the most common mounting options for the faucets:
This type of faucet is the most easy to install and it makes the most of small sink space. If your sink or counter has only one hole - this is an ideal option for it! |
This is a multi-functional type of faucet as it works with sinks and countertops with one or three holes. |
Widespread means that the distance between centers must be from 8 to 16 inches and it's being mounted individually so it is required to make multiple holes on your sink or countertop. |
Vessel Faucets are taller than other types of faucet because the sink is mounted above the cabinet. |
This type of faucet is being mounted on the wall above the sink, making an access to the countertop easier. It requires a separate wall-mounted valve and a drain for the installation. |
💡 QUICK TIP - It is very important choosing the mounting type of a faucet so you can use your space as convenient as possible, especially it is important when you are willing to install a new faucet onto an existing counter or sink.
Quick Design Hints
Don't be afraid to break the rules and try to mix the styles, e.g.: traditional bathroom and modern faucet, and the results will surprise you. |
|
A contemporary designed faucet with a rubbed bronze finish will be a great design feature added to your bathroom. You can use more than one finish in the same bath. A big range of finishes add dimension and contrast - just don't hesitate. Harmony is the key to pulling the look together. Just try to combine dark and light colors or stay in the same metal family. |
|
Neutrals like chrome, nickel and stainless steel look good on anything. Think of them as the classic white shirt of the bath - subtly sophisticated and easy to match with other accessories like towel bars and door pulls. Shiny chrome is the most popular bath finish. |
