Choosing the Best Sink Faucets for Your Bathroom

Tips in Selecting a Bathroom Sink Faucet

•    Make sure that the faucet matches your bathroom design theme.  If you have chosen an Old World theme, bronze sink faucets are the way to go.

•    You cannot separate the bathroom sink from the sink faucet.  The two must go hand in hand in look, feel, and design.  Consider the size of the sink in relation to the design of the faucet; a larger sink would go best with a bigger or wider faucet, and a deeper sink would be best partnered with a longer spout.  Sometimes, exceptions can be made as long as the sink and the faucet function efficiently as a set.

•    Based on your budget, choose a reliable brand name for reassurance.

•    Go through each faucet’s functions and decide on which type you like according to your needs.

Types of Sinks
Pedestal – for that Colonial style feel this sink is a very trendy style today.  This sink is usually put together with double handle faucets, either with cross or lever handles.
Wall-mounted sinks – these are as the name states – mounted on the wall and are commonly used in bathrooms with limited space.  Since the basin of this type of sink is small, the best faucet for this would be small and not elaborate like goose spouted faucets, for instance.
Self-rimming bathroom sinks – a very popular sink among homeowners.  The sink is fitted into a cut-out on a table or a counter.  This traditional sink comes in various shapes and sizes and typically the faucets that go well with these sinks are also of a wide variety.

No matter what sink, bronze sink faucets are almost always suited for any type of bathroom.  

Bathroom Themes Best Suited for Bronze Faucets
Moroccan Theme – combining intricate mosaic tiles and luxurious bronze bathroom fixtures will give your bathroom a distinctive stylish edge.  Deep colors of ox red, blues, oranges, and whites, blend harmoniously with the color bronze.

Indian Theme – add a taste of India and spice up your bathroom with the luxuries of bronze bathroom equipment – this is sure to win some thumbs up!
Classic American Colonial Theme– white tiles and wooden walls, a free standing bathtub, a pedestal sink, all you need are bronze faucets and showerheads to add flair to your theme.
Country Style Theme – floral walls, wicker chairs and dressers, baskets, plants, throw pillows team-up very nicely with bronze bathroom faucets, showerheads, and other fixtures.
There are so many bathroom themes to choose from, and perhaps, you may already have decided on what theme you’d want for your home.  Considering all the options for bathroom faucets and equipment, bronze is certainly one of the best choices; not only because it goes well with almost every theme but also because it is easy to maintain and will last you a lifetime.  You wouldn’t have to worry much about its wear and tear or calling your plumber over regularly.  They may be a bit pricey, but spending a little more to save up on plumbing fees and having to replace your bathroom faucets and fixtures every so often is something worth paying for, isn’t it?

Ever change the finish on a bathroom fixture?

Is it possible to spraypaint (or use another method) to inexpensively, yet effectively, change the finish on a bathroom sink faucet? I'm remodeling and already have some really nice faucets in oil rubbed bronze, but the rest of the fixtures and hardware in the bathrooms is satin nickel. I'd like to keep the faucets but prefer the nickel. Any ideas or thoughts?

I actually change the finish to oil rubbed bronze all the time, as it is quite trendy

I normally do this with bath hardware, toilet paper roll holders, towel bars, light fixtures, hinges and even ceiling fans

but never a faucet but I suppose it could be done, but you would have to remove it first and by that time why bother

Look on Ebay, you can get some great deals there for faucets or faucets.com

I use espresso spray paint for a base coat and then very lightly mist it with flat black, You can then seal it with polyurethane.

I change old brass or chrome stuff and make them look like new expensive fixtures, for virtually nothing
