(Some) of The Best Kitchen Faucets: Wall-Mount Edition

Though still considered a niche-market item, wall-mount faucets are beginning to be a hot commodity in that corner of the plumbing industry. And since the wall-mount faucet design has begun to see a lot of love lately, Kingston Brass has been working hard to deliver more wall-mount options and styles to its customers in response to the growing popularity.

Many home owners and interior designers have jumped on the trend, making the switch from sink-mounted faucets to wall-mount faucets primarily because of its classic aesthetic that evokes traditional appeal. Functionally, they’re not that different from the traditional sink-mounted faucets, however, they’re extremely useful in reducing counter-top clutter, providing a cleaner look to kitchens and bathrooms.

As part of an ongoing series, I’ve been highlighting some of the best kitchen faucets here at Kingston Brass. This month, lets delve into five of our most sought after wall-mount faucets, ranking them by customer popularity and ratings.

Kingston Brass KS1288PL Wall Mount Kitchen Faucet, Brushed Nickel

Let’s start with the Heritage KS1288PL Wall-Mount Kitchen Faucet. This one didn’t quite make the Top 5 Best Kitchen Faucets list so we’re including it as an Honorable Mention. Though sporting traditional appeal with its Brushed Nickel finish, Victorian spout and porcelain lever handles, this kitchen faucet certainly stands apart from its wall-mount kin as its installation design is similar to that of widespread, sink-mounted faucets. Typically, with wall-mounts, as you’ll see from the rest of the list, they’re constructed as bridge design. This faucet, however, has a widespread design, giving it a unique flair.
