Bathroom Faucets: Beauty, Functionality, and
Versatility
by: Phil Hambly
The bathroom is often one of the smallest room in the house, but it
ranks second behind kitchen for the number of design and architectural
decisions that must be made. From a design standpoint, the bathroom has
some of the greatest challenges. Take the case of the humble bathroom
faucet. Today you can make a unique style statement in your bathroom by
complimenting the bathroom with stylish bathroom fittings and
embellishments. The bathroom faucets display an almost infinite variety
of styles and finishes. The faucets can be purchased in a fabricated
finish such as polished chrome, brass, nickel, gold, acrylic enamels of
colors, stainless steel, copper and mix and match combinations. Your
imagination is the limit.
There are a few things you should be considered when selecting
the perfect bathroom faucet. First, consider the type of handle
you prefer, the style you prefer, the finish you want, the
requirement of the lavatory it will be installed in, and at
last, consider how much you want to spend. The most incisive
consideration in choosing a bathroom faucet is the requirements
of not only the sink but the countertop on which it will be
mounted as well. Not only is the number of holes critical, but
also some sinks such as vessels cannot be drilled at all. It has
to be mounted on a deck or through a wall. It is also important
to remember that desired accessories such as hot water spout,
sprayer, a soap dispenser or the like need additional holes. Of
course, many popular pedestal sinks are an all in one sink and
faucet. |

The bathroom faucet can come in an abundance of
varieties and the only limit to the design of the bathroom faucet is the
manufacturer's imagination. The bathroom faucets are manufactured in
basic three styles called center set, widespread and mini-widespread
with a number of variations within those styles. Thus, the decorative
and functional faucets are often chosen to complement the architectural
style of the bathroom. Bathroom faucets are available in literally
thousands of various designs, patterns, and colors to please even the
pickiest of potential faucet owners. Each of the manufacturers offer
designs and models in several different styles. The only choice you need
to make is which one fits your needs and which one would look best in
your bathroom!
