Bathroom Faucets to Match Your Style

What kind of designer are you? Contemporary, traditional, colonial, high-tech, southwestern or something in between? Whatever your style there is a bathroom faucet that fill fit right in.

Contemporary or modern design is usually sleek with hidden or simple, modest hardware. Consider a chrome finish with a plain lever handle if you are designer with a contemporary style.

Colonial style highlights classic architectural elements and is characterized by use of columns, more ornamentation and symmetry. Faucets that fit well with this style are usually spread set with two handles and very decorative handles. Crystal handles are just one of the new additions to colonial style bathrooms.

Country designs usually include simple wood tones and ceramic fixtures. Look for a bathroom faucet with ceramic handles, either plain or hand painted to accent the color theme in the bathroom. If you utilize gold in your country design, choose a faucet in gold tones, otherwise stick with brass.

High-tech areas are known for their stainless steel and chrome with black accents. The perfect faucet for this style is motion activated, like those you’d find in commercial buildings. If you are looking for a manually operated faucet for your high tech bathroom, look for one in chrome with simple black accents.

Log homes call for romantic, rustic features. Choose a brushed nickel or chrome or other satin finish for the faucet and painted or wooden handles.

Mediterranean style bathrooms are colorful, airy and full of ceramic tile flooring. If you have a single hole faucet, choose one in a brushed or oil rubbed bronze with an abstract, rounded look and short handle. If you have a spread set faucet, choose one with the same finish and either rounded metal handles or ceramic handles painted to look like terra cotta.

Southwestern homes are becoming more popular and for good reason – with so many colors in the typical southwest design, it’s easy to piece together. Look for distressed bronze or brushed nickel finishes and simple lines for a southwest appearance.

Animal shaped handles and spouts (think miniature fish statues)
Single hole faucets made to resemble bamboo (great for an Asian- or spa-style bathroom)
