The faucet is one of the first things people see when they enter a kitchen, and designers worldwide have embraced this functional workhorse as their go-to statement piece.

Faucets today come in a vast array of styles and finishes allowing designers artistic flexibility to choose a style that’s perfect for their clients and their portfolio.

Mixed-Metal Finishes on a Single Faucet

Mixing metals — pairing brass pulls on your kitchen cabinets with a chrome faucet at the kitchen sink, for example — has been trending in home design for some time now. In fact, the majority of renovating homeowners (54 percent) mix metal finishes for fixtures and hardware as part of their kitchen remodels, according to the 2019 U.S. Houzz Kitchen Trends study. This year some manufacturers at KBIS took the trend a step further by mixing metals on a single faucet.

Bridge style faucets aren’t new, but they often look out of place in today’s larger, more contemporary kitchens. The widespread bridge faucet in this image matches the size and shape of the sink while adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise cool-colored kitchen. The contrast in style and color really makes this faucet stand out from the crowd.

Semiprofessional Faucets for Home Kitchens

The professionalization of the home kitchen has been an ongoing trend, with consumers choosing professional-quality range tops, ovens and vent hoods. At this year’s KBIS, a number of companies introduced semiprofessional kitchen faucets. Most have a pull-down nozzle and look like a scaled-back version of the professional faucets that have a stretchy hose structure and a heavy nozzle spray. “For the consumer who is creating a semiprofessional kitchen, they want to make sure their sink and faucet match,” says Lou Rohl, chief operating officer at ROHL.
