Types Of Taps: Choosing Faucets to Complement Your Bath Space

Types of Taps to Complement Your Décor

When it comes to selecting the right faucet for your bathroom, there are several types to consider, each offering its unique benefits and design features.

Here's a look at some common types of taps that can enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your bathroom:

1. Wall Mount Faucets

These faucets are designed to be mounted on the wall above the sink, which means the spout and handle are attached to the wall rather than the sink itself. Their position reduces clutter around the basin area, creating a more streamlined and visually appealing look. Additionally, because the faucet is mounted on the wall, it makes cleaning the sink and countertop easier since there are no protruding parts to work around.

2. Single Control Faucets

Single control faucets are designed to simplify and enhance the bathroom experience by consolidating the control of water temperature and flow into a single handle or lever. These types of taps not only reduce visual clutter around the sink area but also adds a sense of modern sophistication to the space.

They also offer a user-friendly experience, like the Accliv bathroom faucet from Kohler, which features a single handle with a paddle design, ensuring ergonomic control that is easy to grip. With just one control, users can easily adjust both temperature and flow, making these faucets both stylish and functional additions to any bathroom.

3. Tall Faucets

Tall faucets are crafted to accommodate vessel sinks, enabling water to flow elegantly and directly into the basin. The smooth and gentle flow of water prevents splashing, keeping your bathroom clean and dry. Additionally, the design of the faucet allows for easier hand washing and filling of tall containers, making it both functional and stylish.

Furthermore, their elevated design impeccably complements the sink's structure, enhancing its visual appeal while ensuring a seamless and graceful water flow. These types of taps are a stylish and functional choice for modern bathroom aesthetics.

4. Widespread Faucets

Widespread faucets are designed with separate handles for hot and cold water, which are typically spaced further apart on the sink or countertop. This layout offers a more expansive and elegant appearance, with the handles and spout positioned comfortably apart. Take, for instance, Kohler's artifacts faucet along with its lever handles that add a timeless and classic look if you are going for a vintage-inspired bathroom decor.

5. Bathtub Faucets

Bathtub faucets are crafted to deliver water to your tub in a way that combines functionality with aesthetics. With various styles, configurations, and finishes available, from classic designs with intricate details to modern, sleek options, these faucets not only enhance your bathing experience but also add a sophisticated touch to your bathroom decor. As you unwind in the tub, the gentle cascade of water from a well-chosen faucet can elevate the ambience, creating a heavenly atmosphere right in your home.

Choosing from the many types of taps to adorn your bathroom involves considering factors such as functionality, design, and compatibility with your existing fixtures. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a more classic, traditional style, Kohler has a faucet type that's perfect for your bathroom.
