What kind of tap to go for based on your kitchen
From rinsing vegetables to washing dishes, the kitchen tap never stops, and with so many great designs, it's easy to become fixated on just style. But choosing a good tap involves various considerations. In this guide, you'll learn what to look for: a practical design, useful features, long-lasting materials and ways to make better use of water. You'll make the perfect choice first time round.
What style should you pick?
Focus on your kitchen's colour scheme and finishes – if you mainly have warm tones, gold-coloured or copper metals could go better, whereas if you have a modern kitchen with neutral tones, a matte black or chrome tap could go perfectly. Whether you're looking for a modern, industrial or classic look, we have all kinds of styles and finishes to go perfectly with your kitchen.
And if you need a flexible tap for your kitchen?
This kind of tap is perfect if you prepare lots of food, use big pots or need to get right into the corners of the sink. Its flexibility means you can easily wash big containers, fill deep pots and easily keep everything clean. What's more, with pull-out and swivel models, it suits both small kitchens and bigger spaces.
