When designing or remodeling kitchens, particularly in multi-residence buildings, small details can sometimes get overlooked. What’s one faucet compared to the next? And when you’re designing and budgeting for a multi-residence building, you don’t want to be spending an arm and a leg on fancy upgrades that will break the bank.

You need a solution. Details are key to making a house a home — and the kitchen its heart. Here are some stylish kitchen faucet solutions for both under-mount and drop-in sinks that are functional, durable and cost-effective. 

1. Classic Farmhouse With a Modern Twist for Forever-Homes

When choosing a faucet, balancing affordability and style can often feel like an impossibility — but it doesn’t have to be that way. This under-mount apron kitchen sink faucet style is a popular one. It combines elegant, timeless style with a modern twist. 

Kitchen faucets like this can be expensive, restricting builders and designers to either lesser quality or sacrificing style. Pioneer’s kitchen faucets are affordable, durable and stylish. Whether you’re building condominiums, retirement residences or single-family homes, this faucet will help elevate the kitchen design. 

What makes this faucet so spectacular is the functionality. A separate spray handle makes cleaning up a piece of cake while the tall faucet allows for deep pots to be scrubbed thoroughly. 

2. Single Handle Kitchen Faucet Makes Life Easier

Busy families mean function and durability are paramount. A single-handle faucet is essential in high-traffic kitchens. This faucet combines functionality with a quick pull-down spray nozzle that makes cleaning up much easier. This faucet also keeps the surrounding countertop clutter-free, allowing for a quick and easy clean. 

Choosing the right finish for a kitchen faucet is also something to consider. For multi-family residences where busy lives occur, making sure faucet finish cleaning includes a simple wipedown will help with both longevity and user satisfaction. 

Kitchen faucet care should be fairly simple, particularly with faucets that are top quality and durable, like ours at Pioneer. Plus, we also have single-handed bathroom faucets we know you’ll love. 

3. A Spring Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet Residents Will Love

A warm and inspiring kitchen shouldn’t be out of the budget. And nor should functionality or style. We believe it’s possible to have it all!

Spring pull-down faucets are great for so many reasons: They offer accessibility, convenience and are great for busy families. Plus, they work wonders in most kitchen designs, although it’s important to measure counter or overhead height as spring pull-down faucets tend to run on the tall side. They also work well with a fairly deep drop-in sink.

Plus, if residential suites don’t come with dishwashers, no problem! A spring pull-down faucet can tackle any mess. 

4. A Low-Maintenance Kitchen Faucet

Stylish finishes like matte black might seem like they’re high-maintenance and out of the budget. This is simply not true. Knowing how to care for a kitchen faucet will extend its life and keep it looking brand new for years to come. 

But just like any other home maintenance regime, kitchen faucet maintenance will depend on the finish. Unique finishes like brushed copper require a slightly different maintenance routine than a chrome finish. This is because each finish requires a different cleaning agent or a different dilution. 

For most kitchen faucets, a simple solution of soap and warm water with a soft cloth will do the trick. Never use a rough sponge as it will scratch the surface. Sometimes a diluted vinegar solution can help break up tougher mineral deposits but remember — vinegar is an acid and will corrode some finishes more than others. Once the faucet is cleaned, thoroughly wipe off any excess vinegar solution with warm water. 

The most important thing is to advise your clients to read all labels before they use the agent and refer to the literature that comes with the faucet. For more information on faucet care, this guide will help. 

5. Finding the Right Low-Flow Kitchen Faucet

If you’re designing a large multi-residence building, water is always a consideration — particularly the amount of water that’s used. Your clients and residents don’t want to pay an arm and a leg on their next water bill. 

The U.S. Department of Reclamation states that “only 3% of water on Earth is freshwater, and only 0.5% is available for drinking.” This means that a kitchen faucet should not only conserve water, but water prices are only going to go up. 

Our low-flow faucets are a great solution. Not only are they stylish, durable and affordable, but they’re also great for the environment. How do they work?

A good low-flow faucet won’t affect the water pressure, but this isn’t always the case. Our engineering at Pioneer created a low-flow faucet that uses 30% less water than a regular flow faucet while still delivering the high performance that your clients need. 

6. Designer Faucets Without Designer Price & Easy-to-Find Replacement Parts

The last thing you and your client want is to have to hunt for hard-to-find replacement parts. Regardless of a faucet’s durability and longevity, nothing lasts forever. But a full faucet replacement doesn’t have to be the only solution. 

Some faucet manufacturers don’t carry replacement parts. This can make fixing a kitchen faucet not only expensive but sometimes impossible. At Pioneer, we supply replacement parts for our kitchen faucets. 

And with our industry-leading 10-year commercial installation warranty and limited lifetime warranty for residential use, you and your clients can rest assured that the kitchen faucets you choose will be up to the job. For more tips on budgeting for kitchen faucets, check out this guide. 

Add a Final Touch With a Pot Filler

Speaking of important details — we would be remiss if we didn’t mention pot fillers. A pot filler can be installed as either a deck mount or a wall mount and can be adjacent to the stove or on the wall behind it, depending on your kitchen design. 

Pot fillers are a great way to add that extra touch of luxury in any kitchen without breaking the bank. They’re also great for accessibility and safety needs. No one wants to haul a heavy pasta pot full of hot water to a stove. This makes pot fillers ideal for larger families or residents who like hosting.
