Sinks and Faucets
Exploring Styles, Finishes, and Perfect Applications
Selecting faucets to accompany your bathroom sink or kitchen sink often immediately leads to consideration of whether the faucet needs to match the sink. The short answer here is, "It depends." While there is a prevailing penchant to like finishes to match, this doesn't have to be the case, and you do have a lot of latitude there, especially when working with stainless steel sinks that pair fairly well with a myriad of different faucet finishes. Faucets are available in a significant variety of finishes, each with its unique aesthetic. Brushed nickel offers a modern, textured finish that resists fingerprints, while bronze faucets provide a warm, traditional look with rich tones. Chrome gives a bright look and is time-timeless, very simply complementary to almost any sink, and satin nickel delivers a soft sheen suitable for working well with many decors. Matte black is a bold and contemporary contrast, while gold finishes exude luxury, and rose gold adds a stylish, modern twist. Stainless steel faucets are sleek and versatile, really fitting well into contemporary spaces. For example, if you have a stainless steel sink, it is pretty simple to pair this with a stainless steel faucet but finishes like matte black or brushed nickel would work pretty well too. Stainless steel sinks are particularly versatile, so there's greater flexibility in choosing a faucet. This is important to remember, however, though matching finishes do tend to create a unified look; you must also use faucet type. Common faucet types include single handle centerset, widespread, vessel, wall mount, and the touchless, all of which offer their own particular form of installation and functionality benefits. Finally, although coordinating faucet and sink finishes are visually appealing and create a very harmonious design, there is certainly room for creativity, and the functionality of the faucet should factor into your decision.
