Best Kitchen Faucets for a Contemporary Kitchen

Today’s kitchen is often one of the first things guests see when they enter your home. It’s an important meeting and gathering place — not just a place to cook anymore! The modern kitchen demands more style and visual appeal than yesterday’s kitchen. To create an oasis that meets these demands and also the traditional one of preparing nutritious meals, you’ll want beautiful and functional kitchen faucets to match.

Monochromatic and black kitchens are all the rage for 2020. The single-lever pull-down faucet in black pairs easily with single-toned backgrounds and provides some added flair and function. The arching spout features an innovation in the pull-down nozzle that swivels to reach any area in and around the sink and retracts firmly back into place to serve as a stationary faucet. Polished chrome and oil-rubbed bronze also accentuate modern kitchen decor.

Open floor plans are also trending and will likely continue to be popular. They bring a warm and welcoming aura that circulates throughout each room of the house; just what every good host craves. Kitchens designed with an open floor plan often include a large and spacious island that serves as extra seating and extra prep space. In addition to the full-size sink and faucet typically located on the outer counter space, a small prep sink can also be placed on the island. While smaller than the main sink, a prep sink offers the perfect place to add an eye-catching prep faucet like the Kaiser Bar Faucet in polished brass from Kingston Brass. The high spout makes it functional for everything from filtered water dispensers, veggie cleaners, and allowing for an additional cook without bumping elbows.

Polished chrome fixtures in modern kitchen decor add an opulent luster to the minimalistic feel of today’s contemporary kitchen. The Concord Eight-Inch Widespread Faucet is an elegant touch for a modern kitchen in polished chrome. This faucet is also available in other finishes that work well with a modern-themed kitchen.
