Modern Kitchen Taps - Things To Consider Before You Buy!

Modern kitchen taps come in so many different style options! Often the choice is made based on aesthetics alone. There are, however, a number of features that should be considered, some of which are really useful and often overlooked.

Below we highlight things to consider before you embark on your journey to find a suitable kitchen tap for your needs. We have also selected some of our favourite and most popular modern taps that we have on offer at Appliance House.

Here are some features to look out for before you choose your next kitchen tap;

Single Lever.

Single lever, as the name suggests, is one lever operation. A single lever kitchen tap is more minimalist in appearance. Hot and cold water is controlled via a single valve, operated by one lever only. Single lever taps are simple to use as you can control water temperature and flow together with one hand.

Dual Lever.

A dual lever tap, has two levers. One controls hot water and the other cold water. With two lever operation adjusting the flow and temperature is straight forward and accurate. Providing a symmetrical aesthetic, dual lever taps are a popular choice in many kitchen designs.

Pull Out Spray Taps.

A pull out spray is a really handy feature to have. You’ll find this feature is available on both single and dual lever taps. Pull out spray taps include a flexible hose that is discreetly stored within the spout. The additional hose makes it easy to clean those hard to reach corners of the sink, it is also ideal for cleaning fruit and vegetables prior to cooking and rinsing dishes before loading into the dishwasher.

Professional Coil Taps.

Generally found in commercial settings but also increasing in popularity in busy home kitchens, a professional coil tap provides excellent manoeuvrability. They often feature a swivel coil spout allowing users to enjoy greater cleaning flexibility. They are a stylish choice and certainly create the wow factor in any home.  

Water Filter Taps.

Water filter taps provide refreshing taint free filtered water straight from the spout. They feature a filter that effectively removes any impurities from the water to ensure each and every glass poured, tastes delicious.

Must Have Home & Kitchen Accessories For 2020.

The desire for industrial styling within kitchen design boomed into popularity during 2019. Black and metallic accessories were highly sought after. Manufacturers continue to offer sinks and taps in a whole array of metallic shades as kitchens featuring an industrial theme will continue to be hugely popular this year too.

Sustainability is also a key issue for people planning a kitchen refurbishment. Hot taps and filter water taps will continue to be highly desirable as plastic waste reduction continues to be a key environmental topic. The demand for natural materials is expected to rise significantly with more homes opting for environmentally friendly, recyclable options in their kitchen, such as stone and wooden work surfaces.

Caple, Shapwick, Ceramic Sink.

With these key design elements in mind we have put together our top home and kitchen product picks for this year. These ‘must have’ items are ideal for new kitchens or perfect additions if you’re planning a re-vamp of your existing kitchen.

Abode Hex Tap Range.

Abode launched a new tap range last year; The Abode Hex. This wonderful collection of kitchen taps ooze industrial style and we have no doubt these will be flying off the shelves this year.

Consumers are opting for darker tone units in their kitchen. Dark, concrete palettes and navy tones are popular colour choices for kitchen furniture and 2020 we expect to see more pastel shades being used in kitchen design. Metallic accessories will compliment both darker and pastel shades perfectly and the Hex is no exception!

Quality and style come hand in hand with the Abode Hex Tap Collection. Subtle yet eye catching, the Abode Hex is totally on trend! It is the fine detail of the Hex collection that really sets them apart from anything else on the market.
