When designing or renovating your kitchen, choosing the right mixer tap might seem like a small detail — but it’s one that can have a big impact on both your kitchen’s style and functionality. From sleek finishes to smart features, the right tap can elevate your space and make everyday tasks easier.
If you’re unsure where to start, this guide will help you choose the perfect kitchen mixer tap to suit your lifestyle and design aesthetic.
Understand the Different Types of Mixer Taps
Before diving into styles and finishes, it’s important to know the main types of mixer taps available:
Gooseneck Mixer Taps — A popular choice for modern kitchens, gooseneck mixers have a high-arching spout that adds elegance and provides extra space for filling pots and pans. They’re perfect for both style and practicality.
Pull-out Mixer Taps — These taps feature a flexible spray head that pulls out from the spout, making it easy to rinse vegetables, wash dishes, or clean around the sink. Ideal for busy households or avid home cooks.
Choose a Finish That Complements Your Kitchen
Your tap finish should coordinate with your kitchen’s overall aesthetic. At Styl, we offer mixer taps in a range of premium finishes:
- PVD Matte Black – Bold, modern, and fingerprint-resistant
- White – Clean and contemporary
- Stainless Steel – Timeless and versatile
All Styl taps are crafted from 304-grade stainless steel, 100% lead-free, and built to withstand daily use.
Consider Practical Features
While aesthetics are important, your kitchen mixer tap also needs to be practical.
Here’s what to look for:
- Easy installation – All Styl mixers are designed for hassle-free installation.
- Corrosion resistance – Especially important in coastal or humid environments.
- Lead-free materials – For safer water and peace of mind.
- Flexible functionality – Like pull-out spray heads or dual-spray options.
Match Your Tap to Your Sink
A good rule of thumb is to match the scale of your tap to the size of your sink. For example:
- A single bowl sink pairs beautifully with a streamlined gooseneck mixer.
- A double bowl or larger prep sink might benefit from a pull-out mixer with more flexibility.
Finding the perfect match can feel overwhelming. To make the decision easier, we’ve created a FREE expert guide that breaks down everything you need to know about sink and mixer pairing, including tailored recommendations for your kitchen style and needs.
