Top 3 Picks for Kitchen Faucets

Your upper cabinets are white. Your lower cabinets are navy blue…definitely picked to show less dirt with all the traffic that flows in and out of your kitchen daily! Your countertops are white with a marbled gray running through them. You LOVE the new gold tone finishes for your knobs and pulls. Hmmm…appliances? Maybe stainless, maybe not. Farm sink for sure! And last but not least, what do I need from a kitchen faucet?

Did you know that your kitchen faucet is the most used fixture in your entire house? Why, then, does is sometimes feel as though it’s an afterthought? This is an important decision. This is a fixture that you will use SEVERAL times EVERY day. Keep reading and I’ll give you our top picks from one of our top designers.

Our designer’s number 1 pick is the Kohler Artifacts kitchen faucet. The style is untouchable, the finishes are gorgeous, and the multi-spray options are not found in any other brands. One of the sprays is actually specifically designed for cleaning berries! I know, right? It’s called the BerrySoft Spray. It is a pull-down faucet with a magnetic docking feature so it goes back into place very easily. This faucet comes in 4 different finishes, so you can definitely find one to go with those beautiful knobs and pulls you’ve picked out. I’d suggest the Vibrant Polished Nickel. It has that gold tone you’re looking for. Check it out here: Kohler Artifacts Kitchen Faucet.

Second are the Moen MotionSense kitchen faucets. There are several styles and finishes to choose from. You can simply wave your hand by the sensor and the water turns on and off. No more chicken bacteria on your fixtures. No more sticky marshmallow or mud after a day of yard work. But the best part is that every time you use this sensored faucet, you’re saving water and helping our environment! It runs on a battery and our designer’s battery continues to work 5 years after installation. Read more about this incredible faucet: Moen MotionSense Kitchen Faucet

Coming in at #3 is the California Faucet Davoli Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet.

Another feature that sets them apart is the fact that you can find the most matching accessories with this brand. Need a pot filler? A gentleman’s faucet? A soap dispenser? A prep/bar faucet?

Newport Brass and Brizo are two more lines of kitchen faucets that our designer recommended. Both are solid, well-designed, and reputable faucet brands.

Whatever you choose, you can’t go wrong. Whether you choose one for the finish, the functions or the price, any of the faucets mentioned above will last you for a very long time with the correct care and cleaning. Always read your instructions before cleaning so that you don’t ruin that finish you’ve longed for. Most faucets today recommend only water and a polishing cloth for cleaning.
