A bathroom faucet is a crucial component of the room's plumbing and a central design feature. Given these important functions, you want to choose one that meets the needs of your household while providing style. However, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all the faucet options on the market today; below are a few tips to ensure you find the right one.

How to Pick a Bathroom Faucet

1. Consider Who Mainly Utilizes the Room

If the faucet is for a central bathroom used by all or most family members, it'll likely be utilized multiple times throughout the course of any given day.

Choose one that turns on and off with ease, such as a model with large, easy-grip handles or a motion detector that activates whenever it senses hand movement. If the faucet is for a more formal bathroom, like a guest bath, you can focus on an unusual or dramatic design.

2. Make Sure It Complements the Existing Décor

A faucet should integrate well with the rest of the bathroom's plumbing fixtures and with the overall design of the space. Polished chrome is a timeless option and fits with virtually any bathroom. Brass or gold-tone faucets are classy and elegant. Bronze is rustic and perfect for a country-themed bathroom. There are many specialty finishes available, as well. 

3. Check the Specifications of the Sink

The bathroom sink should also be a determining factor in what type you pick. Different styles of sinks accommodate different kinds of faucets via predrilled holes.

Single-hole sinks are designed for single- and two-handled faucets. Center-set sinks have three holes within four inches and are made for single- or two-handled options mounted on plates. A widespread sink has three holes drilled at least eight inches apart and holds large, two-handled faucets.
