The kitchen faucet that catches the eye on a website or in a store isn’t always the best fit for a particular design. So how does a homeowner decide which faucet will look and work best in today’s modern kitchen? Start with the most practical considerations and then focus on style inspiration. Here’s a quick guide to matching the right kitchen faucet to modern décor.
It’s a common mistake to think only of style when shopping for a new kitchen faucet. The faucet serves as a visual centerpiece for the kitchen, so it has to complement the rest of the room. However, function is far more important to consider first. A faucet that is difficult to use or doesn’t fit over your largest pots will frustrate the entire family, no matter how good it looks. Don’t forget about valuable optional features like:
The wrong finish on the right faucet design will still cause a clash with the kitchen décor. Modern finishes tend to stay on the simplistic side of the spectrum, with polished chrome and matte black being the two most popular choices. Stainless steel is another classic option available in both polished and matte styles to better fit the particular brand of modernism desired. Brass and oil-rubbed finishes can also appear modern when paired with natural materials like stone and wood.
Don’t try to make a single kitchen faucet perform all of the functions in a large kitchen. Try installing a water dispenser faucet separately to help filters last longer and to free up space at the sink. A pot-filler faucet next to the stove eliminates the hassle of carrying a heavy pot full of water around. Modern kitchens look even more cutting edge with these extra faucets strategically placed around the room.
