The faucet is one of the most used fixtures in the home. Almost any guest will end up seeing it at least once so homeowners should select a faucet that is elegant and unique. They should also select a faucet that best reflects their design and taste.

The bathroom faucet, also referred to as a lavatory faucet, is a key element in creating a unique and stylish design in the bathroom. They come in various styles and finishes to meet the individual needs of homeowners.

There are single hole faucets, which come with one or two handles attached to the spout itself. This is a very simple faucet design that is ideal for smaller sinks. Homeowners who like the look of a single-hole faucet but have a sink with 4" hole drillings, should look for a faucet with an optional deck plate that covers the extra holes and still maintains the faucet design.

Then there are the 4" centerset faucets, which are compact and space-efficient. The spout and handles of these faucets are attached to the base. Meanwhile, the 4" minispread faucets are similar to the centerset faucet and fit the same application size. The only difference is that the hot handle, spout and cold handle of the 4" minispread faucets are 3 separate pieces that give the look and feel of a larger widespread model.

The 8" widespread faucets are ideal for large sinks where the scale and size of a smaller faucet might get lost. They have handles that are 8" apart (some can extend to 16" apart).

The vessel filler faucets, which have a higher spout reach, are used specifically for vessel style sinks. The placement and size of the vessel sink will determine the height and spout length of the faucet.

Then there are the wall mount faucets, which are ideal for vessel sinks, wall hung sinks and undermount sinks. These unique faucets, which are a great option for antique-style sinks, are mounted on the wall above the sink and extend over the center of the sink.
