Kitchen Fixtures to Match your Entertaining Style

There are so many kitchen fixtures on the market that it can be difficult to choose the right one for your space. If you love to entertain in your kitchen, why not base your decision on the type of dinners and parties you like to throw?

Home chef
If you are a foodie and love to cook for your family and friends, you’ll need a faucet that can handle heavy use. Opt for a pre-rinse kitchen faucet. It’s a fixture that is modeled after commercial faucets, so it can work in the space of a home chef. This model has a large sloped head that allows you to fill a pot and clean dishes easily. If you select this unit, consider installing it in a center island to show off the style of the metal and silhouette.

Vintage baker
For those who have a vintage kitchen design, a porcelain sink and wall-mounted faucet with knob handles is a great choice. Select from a variety of finishes like oil-rubbed bronze and polished chrome. This fixture is all you need to help with baking. Be sure you have wide counters so you can spread out dough for cookies and pies. If you are a true pastry connoisseur, you may want to install marble countertops. Bakers often cool chocolate on this surface.

Creative mixologist
There are faucets for those who like to mix craft beverages too. All you need is a stylish faucet installed in the corner of your sink. You’ll also want to add a single-basin sink nearby. In the cabinets above, store your spirits and mixers. You can also place your wine, martini and Champagne glasses in this cabinet. Use this new bar space to mix a range of drinks like sweet and zesty options.

Organic cook
If you love to cook with fresh organic vegetables, you’ll need to wash them thoroughly first. Opt for a water filtration kitchen faucet that takes out harmful chemicals in the water. These faucets are equally as stylish as their standard counterparts. Just grab a bowl of veggies and turn on the water and wash away the soil. Then you can have your eco-friendly friends over for a meal containing the bounty of the season.

Functional cook
Pot fillers are somewhat of a luxury kitchen item. People purchase them in addition to having a regular faucet, and it is often installed on the center island. It allows you to simply fill a large pot to boil pasta or make a stew. Then when you have a family party everything will be close at hand.

Other entertaining tips
Be organized – If you frequently entertain you probably have lots of flatware, utensils and food. Have a smart storage system to limit the hassle when you have guests over. For example, you can add a wire holder into bottom cabinets to store extra plates. In the fridge, you can adjust the height of shelves to fit whatever you are storing at the time.

Whatever your entertaining style, with the right kitchen fixtures you’ll be ready for any occasion!
