Journey into the world of the faucets.

Faucets Design

Summary

A designer faucet is an aesthetically charged accessory that can add a touch of exclusivity to the bathroom and kitchen. But it is also one of the most active components of the home, being used many times a day for washing hands, cleaning vegetables, cooking, rinsing dishes…

It must therefore be cost-effective, practical, and, of course, durable. In recent decades, the design concept behind designer faucets has changed profoundly. And the classic “open/close” function has been joined by a series of technical details developed in tune with new trends in home comfort, such as thermostatic shower faucets.

How to choose faucets

Choosing a designer faucet is far from simple. The variety of styles, materials, finishes and prices can be disorienting. And since you’ll be sharing space with your new faucet for a long time, it’s important not to take anything for granted.

The first step is to consider all the activities that need to be handled during the day. Do you often cook at home? How many people does your household consist of? Are there also children and/or the elderly? Think about your daily experiences and then consider what is the right combination of functions to create a customized design.

The best designer faucets

When it comes to decorating the kitchen or bathroom, people do not always pay due attention to details. Still, a designer faucet can have a major impact on the aesthetics of the room, which is why it is important to choose a model that is perfect for your space. Sometimes this is easier said than done, as there are hundreds of products available today in a wide variety of styles and finishes.

But don’t worry! There is a wealth of models on the market that seem to be made just for you!

Bathroom Faucets

When considering bathroom faucet style you usually have two options: traditional or contemporary. Classic vintage bathroom faucets may include separate knobs for hot and cold water dispensing, embellished with period details. Modern designs are more linear, with a preference for minimalism rather than ornate details. And while traditional faucets can blend harmoniously into a contemporary setting, the reverse is not always true. The key thing is to choose a matching set of the same brand for each water point. This means that, in the same environment, bathroom faucets, basin faucets, bidet faucets, shower faucets, and bathtub faucets must be in perfect aesthetic harmony.

Kitchen Faucets

The first thing you need to consider when choosing a kitchen faucet is the type of installation: do you want to place it on the sink or on the wall? A new sink gives you more freedom of choice, while in case of replacement you will have to respect the existing installation. Carefully consider the height of the sink faucet since the size of the pans you can nimbly wash depends on it. High arched faucets (the classic “swan necks”) are ideal if you routinely wash pots and pans by hand or if you want more room to work in the kitchen sink.

Outdoor Faucets

A refined balance of aesthetics and functionality, the outdoor faucet is a valuable water tapping point in your outdoor space. You use it to water your garden and vegetable garden, to rinse your four-legged friends’ accessories, and to hose down the kids on muggy days… That’s why it must be sturdy, with stainless steel or aluminum components, and nimble to open and close.
This faucet is constantly subjected to the weather and must be able to survive the winter unscathed.

So look for a model with antifreeze features, which will prevent the water from freezing with the risk of burst pipes.

Wall Faucets

A wall-mounted faucet gives you more freedom of movement in the sink area, keeping it neater. It also makes it easier to clean limestone deposits and impurities that generally accumulate over time.

It proves practical in small rooms, since it allows the space below to be fully utilized. It is also the ideal addition to the minimalist environment since, if chosen carefully, it becomes its focal point.

Waterfall Faucets

Inspired by the elements of nature, waterfall faucets are one of the latest trends in bathroom accessories. In these designs, water flows out of a wide or open spout, creating a true spa-like atmosphere.

They are available in both modern and traditional styles and make your bathroom unique and functional. When evaluating these luxury faucets, it is important to consider the overall design of the room, especially the finish of the shower head and other accessories. Before purchasing, check that the water pressure of your water system is sufficient to create a relaxing cascading effect.

3 Way Faucets

Three-way technology makes it possible to deliver filtered and unfiltered water from a single faucet: simply turn the respective knobs to obtain the desired type of water resource. This is a popular solution because it does not require drilling an additional hole in the sink: it simply sits in place of the classic two-way version.

In three way faucets, treated and untreated water are made to flow into two separate channels, thus preventing them from coming into contact with each other. The filtered water channel is made from food-grade pipe normally used in the plumbing connections of systems with common activated carbon filters.

Chrome, satin or colored, three-way faucets can be installed in all types of environments, from the most modern to the most classic.

Stainless Steel Faucets

Stainless steel has always been a design must-have. It is resistant to stains and rust and is appreciated for its shine. It is also a sturdy material that is not afraid of the challenges of time.

But while this may give the stainless steel faucet a somewhat industrial look, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider it if you’ve chosen a classic decorating style: different shapes and silhouettes can make your room look elegant, vintage, or hi tech. And if you already have appliances with stainless finishes in your kitchen, the combination is perfect.

Brass Faucets

If you want to create a focal point full of charm, there is nothing better than brass faucets. With their soft, refined look, these accessories reflect the light and shade of the room, creating an effect dense with charm. Beyond aesthetic elegance, brass offers multiple practical advantages. It is easy to clean, not afraid of scratches, and can be molded into many shapes and in any style.

Polished brass is a favorite for those who want to add a vintage touch to their home, while satin-finished brass is appreciated for its elegant but inconspicuous look. Thanks to its matte finish, it will not stain with limescale or fingerprints and is incredibly durable.

Copper Faucets

Because of its versatility, warmth and shades reminiscent of tradition, copper warms the heart of the home. It is the most classic material for the kitchen, and in the bathroom it gives off a strong glow. On the market you can find a variety of copper faucets in every design, even with motion sensors.

However, they are not always easy to integrate into the decor. So check if the brand you are considering offers other accessories in this material to enable you to create a balanced and harmonious environment.
