It all Starts with the Faucet

Designing your bathroom starts with choosing your faucet. The bathroom faucet is the focal and starting point for all selections of your plumbing package. After you choose the style and finish of the faucet, then the shower and tub selection is easy. As the bathroom and kitchen are the most widely used rooms in your home, bathroom plumbing is important to set the tone of the style and aesthetic. 

How to Choose a Faucet For You

There are many options to consider when designing your bathroom and choosing your bathroom faucet. Do you want a faucet that blends into the interior or one that is the focal point of the bathroom design? There are five components that can be included in a faucet. These components dictate the aesthetic of your bathroom’s faucet. 

• Handles: mounted on the wall, on the bathroom fixture through a plate, or cohesive to the faucet itself 
• Mounts: screwed into either the wall or to a surface
• Valves: the attachments within the handles or faucet pieces
• Drains: oftentimes drains can be included in the faucet attachments and can be cohesive to the faucet head by functioning with a lift rod or knob 
• Plates: used to secure the faucet between the faucet and bathroom fixture 

Faucet Options

Wall Mount

Wall-mounted faucets can be used for above-the-counter and freestanding basins. Wall-mounted faucets are the perfect option for basins that require a long spout for extended reach. This faucet design offers a clean and minimalistic look. A wall-mounted faucet becomes a part of the overall design element. This faucet works intricately with the backsplash and can become the focal point of the bathroom design. Wall-mounted faucets work as a sculpture element to the design and can be tied in through the use of backsplash tiles and overall design composition.
