The faucets can fold up, unfold and be elongated to just do any cleaning. And when you are done with the cleaning, fold back into a neat sitting.

Minimalist trend

The dramatic pullout faucets are becoming popular for their functionality. The sleek silhouette includes single-handle control of temperature and three flow patterns such as stream, rinse and veggie spray. This is in addition to a handy pause button.

These faucets are combining a trend of minimalist with a sleek industrial design and do not occupy a lot of space letting you multitask with style. So when looking for a kitchen faucet, you ought to decide on the finish as well as the style.

For instance, ask yourself: "Do I like it polished chrome, brushed nickel, polished nickel, brushed chrome?"

To maintain an even finish, ensure you have the faucet tested for scratches. Usually, the heavy-duty scouring pads do not scratch most of the brushed finishes. But finishes such as chrome do get scratches even though they hold up best when it comes to corroding.

A faucet’s swing is another feature the new trendy sinks are coming with. An unlimited swing ensures the faucet will get out of the way when you need to get a big pot into your sink.

Spray and spout

Another interesting element of the new faucets is they combine spray head and spout for added convenience and flexibility.

Consider spout styles and function. Straight spout models are compact but you might need to move the faucet to fit a big pot under it.

Models such as gooseneck have higher clearances, but they can cause splashing if your sink is shallow.

No matter what type you pick, make sure the faucet head swings enough to reach all of the sink, especially if you have a wide or double-bowl sink. Also keep the faucet proportional; a large sink looks funny with a small faucet, and vice versa.
