The Best Faucets for Tight Spaces
In urban settings especially, tight spaces are simply the norm. Space is at a premium and so rooms become smaller. This can be a problem everywhere but tends to matter most in the kitchen or bathroom. When deciding on faucets for these areas, however, elegant and modern faucets can elevate the feel of a kitchen or bathroom without taking up too much space. Brilliant design is the key. Read on to know what exactly to look for when selecting a faucet without compromising on quality, design and function. For example, faucets that mount to the wall, faucets with levers that have a small turn radius, and faucets with a narrow footprint all help easily solve the problem.
How to Fit a Faucet in a Tight Space
1. Mount the Faucet on the Wall | An excellent way to conserve space in a smaller room is to select wall-mounted faucets. With this type of installation, a space behind the sink isn’t even needed. Possibly your particular challenge is to fit a sink and faucet into a narrow counter that isn’t necessarily intended to hold these fixtures or to make room for the largest possible sink. The Pioneer Single Handle Bathroom Wall Mount Vessel Filler solves both of these issues with a strong sink made for heavy use. The faucet features a separate handle and spout, and its coated chrome, nickel, or matte black finish works great in any modern-style bathroom. Further, the space freed around the sink can also allow the addition of appliances like a soap dispenser.
2. Look for Shorter Levers and Spouts | Small, but mighty is a good combination in both people and faucets. Space can be conserved in tight spaces by selecting faucets with smaller handles because the tighter turn radius will open up more counter space behind the faucet. If the faucet also has a short spout, with a reach of less than 5 inches, even better as it won’t require a large sink. The Olympia Two Handle Bathroom Faucet, for example, is compact and only has a reach of 4 inches. The spout’s short reach and the lever’s tight turn radiuses allow for great space conservation. It’s also beautiful and built to an excellent standard for the complete package.
3. Small Footprint Faucets | To maximize space in a smaller room, smaller dimensions are a must. Pay particular attention to the dimensions of the parts of the sink that cover the installation holes. Even better, look for this in a one-hole installation faucet. Faucets with a short reach and height are also factors that indicate a small footprint. The Olympia Single Handle Bathroom Faucet has a reach of only 4.37 inches and a height of 2.62 inches. Its smaller footprint and easy 1-hole installation makes the most space for your room and sink.
Faucets for Small Spaces are Still Gorgeous | Chrome, brushed nickel, and matte black finishes complement nearly any design scheme. The Olympia Two Handle Bathroom Faucet in these finishes works quite well with both modern and transitional designs. It comes in chrome or PVD brushed nickel, which both look sleek in a modern setting. One of the best features of this faucet, however, is that it also comes in an oil-rubbed bronze finish, which makes it an instant focal point of a traditional bathroom. Although, it can be used in a large bathroom, its compact design won’t get in the way of your counter space in a small one, making it an outstanding choice for tight spaces.
