TIMELESS KITCHEN FINISHES
When it comes to faucet finishes, look to Arctic® Stainless or Polished Nickel.
Shiny chrome is the most popular bath finish and comes with an affordable price tag. Nickel has a warmer tone and a more exclusive pedigree. Stainless steel, still the leading metal in the kitchen, looks indulgent in the bath, too.
Kitchen faucets serve a utilitarian purpose, but they can still look good while you use them. You have several finishes to consider, including brass, bronze, chrome, nickel, stainless steel, matt black, and the newest exotic finish, ombre. Brass faucets will bring a traditional look and feel to your home.
Black is the leading faucet trend for colors, overtaking stainless steel. Matte black, specifically, is gaining popularity in kitchen faucet trends. Gold and brass tones continue to be trendy as they bring a sense of luxury.
Smart faucets are transforming kitchen remodeling with their advanced features. These faucets operate without touch, making them a hygienic choice for any home. You can turn the water on or off with a simple wave of your hand. This keeps the faucet cleaner and helps when your hands are full or dirty.
Chrome is tough and scratch-resistant to protect the surface of the faucet, and is the most economical. Nickel – Brushed nickel is warmer and softer than chrome and hides water spots and fingerprints better, so it's easier to clean. But it's also significantly more expensive than chrome.
For those who prefer subtle sophistication, brushed nickel is a classic that never goes out of style. Its soft, muted sheen adds a touch of elegance without feeling flashy, making it a beloved choice for transitional and traditional spaces alike, the perfect match to our Veranda and Valencia door styles.

Tarnishes Faster Than Chrome

One of the standout trends for 2024 is the use of mixed metals. Combining different finishes like bronze, stainless steel, and black hardware can create a dynamic and visually interesting kitchen. Interior designers are increasingly favoring this approach to add depth and character to spaces.
Lighter colors like silver, gray, and beige are easier to maintain and show less dirt, while darker colors like black, red, and dark blue can be more challenging but offer a striking appearance when freshly cleaned.
Polished Chrome: The Classic and Timeless Favorite
And there's a good reason for that—it's a classic choice that never goes out of style! Polished chrome has been a staple in bathrooms for decades, thanks to its bright, reflective surface that adds a touch of elegance and cleanliness to any space.
While not required, matching fixtures can help a bathroom look more polished. Most bathrooms have a uniform style and use the same color palette throughout. The sink, faucet, towel bar, cabinet hardware, and lighting all fall within this category.
