“For something you touch several times a day, why not pick a finish for your faucet that will make you feel good? People will notice if you put in an unimpressive faucet,” says Peter LaBau, a Charlottesville, Va.-based architect whose book The New Bungalow Kitchen, from Taunton Press, offers great ideas for quality kitchen design.

Style and Design

  • oil-rubbed finish
  • Old World
  • Tuscan style
  • Burnt tone gives it a rustic look.
  • Cottage setting.
  • Scandinavian style.

Matching  Finishes

  • check the shape of the sink

  • The door’s styles
  • ighting fixtures.

Ask yourself, “Will the faucet’s finish complement the whole room?”
