Your kitchen faucet gets a lot of use. And though there are more styles available today than ever, choosing one isn't as complicated as it might seem. Today's kitchen faucet manufacturers offer the widest range of configurations and styles possible for every purpose - from colonial center spread faucets to modern pull out faucets, and everything in between, to help you create the kitchen workspace you've always wanted. Let's take a look at some of the possibilities.

The All Purpose Faucet: The Pull Out

When it comes to washing dishes by hand, pull out faucets allow you to soap up your dirty dishes then rinse them while they sit at the bottom of the sink. As simple as it sounds, a pull out faucet can save considerable time and effort. Many feature a pull out sprayer that merges seamlessly into the arched design, while others have a large wand that makes its purpose visually apparent. If you've got no dishwasher in your kitchen - in other words, if a person is your "dish washer" - a pull out kitchen faucet gives you the flexibility you may need. A pull out faucet is also a very good "all around" kitchen sink faucet for any kitchen. A dual spray pull out model offers even greater functionality.

Single Lever Simplicity

Almost always a good idea, except perhaps for bar sinks. When you're preparing food or washing up, you may not have the free hand required by the presence of a second knob. Single lever kitchen faucets allow you to control the flow of hot, warm or cold water with one hand. It's much more efficient that way!

The Bar Sink Faucet

Generally smaller, the bar sink faucet is often a center spread model with two valves flanking a spigot. The compact design makes them suitable for the smaller profile of bar sinks, while their many attractive styles make them ideal for publicly visible areas in restaurants and bars.

Pot Filling Faucet

The large pot filling faucets allow for lots of vertical space to set your pots under, and feature pull down action, allowing you to get "up close and personal" while you rinse dishes. Some are configured just for one temperature, though, making them impracticable for use as an all-around kitchen faucet.

The Wall Mount Faucet

They look great, and get the job done. Wall mount kitchen faucets are often single lever faucets used for filling pots, though a two-handled wall mount kitchen faucet lends a rustic feel to a country inspired kitchen featuring a built-in or free standing farmhouse kitchen sink.
