Best touch on kitchen sink faucets according to redditors

I spent about $300 for my kitchen faucet because it was one of those fancy pull down on a spring things. It was what I'd wanted for a long time but couldn't justify just buying outright... seemed like a good time to get it. BUT that was also one of the most expensive kitchen faucets I could find that I could say "this adds form and function" without instead saying "how much can I spend on a kitchen faucet".

Granite in the entire house cost under $5k. Farmhouse deep sink was another $300? I don't know how you drop 3k on a single faucet/sink combo.

Maybe something like this .

I've seen tap locks around, of various levels of sophistication. Here is one example.

We have this one and it’s been great!

Probably quicker and easier just to replace it:

When I first saw my current home I felt the same about a lot of aspects of it. After a few tweaks the home really grew on me and I really love it.

Cabinets

• Consider using wallpaper to change the panel face. Something like this wallpaper would bring that wood look you mentioned.
  
  
  Wall decor
  
  
• Tie in the wallpaper above with some decor like this wall set if you have photos you’d like to hang.
  
  
  
• Maybe these shelves for decor or practical use.
  
  
  
• Like flowers? Put some (maybe red?) artificial flowers in these wall planters and hang them up for color coordination.
  
  
  Cabinet knobs
  
  
• Something as simple as replacing your knobs can change the look of your kitchen. It’s that final finish that does it for me. Look into something like these knobs to add a more rustic flair.
  
  
  
• We’ve seen these before but rarely remember of them when thinking of knobs. Change your knobs by adding a backsplash like this one.
  
  
  Switch plate covers
  
  
• Replacing these with a a more decorative switch plate cover is such a simple change that makes a difference. You can typically find matching plug plate covers.
  
  
  Faucet
  
  
• An ill fitting or beat up faucet can effect the overall look of your kitchen. Find a faucet that you feel will match the look you’re going for.
  
  I hope I captured the general feel of the design you like. I hope these will help you create your perfect kitchen.

Hmmm, youre a gamer so I'd say you would enjoy having [this] (http://www.amazon.com/LightInTheBox-Kitchen-Faucet-Sprayer-Nozzle/dp/B004W1SEYM/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1368560547&sr=8-11&keywords=light+shower+head) and I have been trying to get some games for my game gear so I would love to get [this] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Lion-King-sega-game-gear/dp/B000056PZ0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=EYB47AJ077Y1&coliid=I1VLW5HOY41DP7) mainly to bring back memories and play. :D

Painting the cabinets would help a lot. If you have a color scheme in mind - maybe a light color on the cabinets with some bolder accents (cutting board, vase, utensil holder... etc)? Any contrasting colors would look nice imo. Maybe not white for the cabinets, as it could make the walls look dingy in comparison. (Edit: although that back wall is the perfect candidate for an accent wall. Tempaper has some really cool patterned removable wallpapers!)

Definitely bring some plants in. Trailing plants above the cabinets, some cookbooks propped up (so you see the cover) up there would look nice too, and would bring the eye upward. Flowers on the countertop would look lovely as well!

A runner rug would help bring some personality in and tie the room together. Also, cabinet pulls are cheap and it’s easy to find some that match your preferred style, on amazon or at any hardware store.

Finally, if you can afford to replace the sink faucet, I think that would add a lot to the space. This one on amazon looks expensive, but is only $77. link That one took 30 seconds to find, I’m sure there are plenty more within that price range that you might like!

Alternatively, install a double faucet

Mine is similar to this one here. https://www.amazon.com/Brass-commercial-kitchens-Department-requirements/dp/B07R2D26H6/ref=sr_1_32?crid=TFPJC0G58EEX&keywords=prerinse+sprayer+hose&qid=1557126342&s=gateway&sprefix=prerinse+s%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-32

​

The main differences between yours and mine is the button for spraying water. Yours after a while might need a replacement trigger due to the smaller button wearing down the inside of the trigger.

Price is really going to come down to how nice of a faucet you want and if you’ll put it in yourself. More faucet installs are pretty simple with an adjustable wrench and maybe a screw driver. Most newer faucets are made to be weekend warrior proof. Just make sure you find one that is a single post and not one with separate posts for the valves. Something like this would likely work great for you and be a nice little upgrade over what you had. You would just install it without the rectangle plate at the bottom, which will be one of the install options n the instructions.

If you show the underside where the faucet attaches to the waterline I can say for sure if it’s a simple DIY or not. You’ll be looking for a hex nut fitting on copper or braided flexible tubing (or one connecting to the other). As long as the faucet isn’t soldered to the water line, you’ll be able to do it without any issues.

I just moved in to a new place, and the kitchen faucet is basically just a pipe. I would like to get a nice spraying faucet like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FJ4DZB?psc=1, but I don't think this will mount correctly. I don't know whether to get something that will attach to the wall or the socket between the knobs. Any advice will help!

I have had this sink for the past couple of years -it's been fantastic. I can wash my 15-gallon SS Brewtech pot easily. It even lays down sideways in the tub with room to spare. My concern with a SS sink (beyond price) was that it might scratch my brew kettle. I have no such concerns with the plastic tub.

I highly recommend a pull-down sprayer like this style. The one I purchased is no longer available but it is similar.

This faucet does that, but I don't recommend it unless you need a cheap faucet, ours crapped out after a year: Kraus KPF-2250 Single Lever... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OM7DDC4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This one does it too (most of the time, it occasionally sticks in spray). I wanted a name brand faucet but had trouble finding one that listed the back to stream feature: WEWE Single Handle High Arc... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H3OMH7Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

My mistake, let me edit the OP. I meant to link to the Touch20 model on Amazon. I don't necessarily think I need that model, though-- and would probably consider going with the non-touch version.

Although if kids were going to be home alone I’d just unplug beer lines in fridge then install a locked on the fridge so they can’t open it

Chuckle fucks!

Hero of time

Pretty colors!

I would:

• completely lose the wall between the dining and living room
• take the bar height counter down to counter height
• extend the countertop into the living room more, giving 14-16 inches of countertop beyond the wall to allow for leg room when sitting, and maybe extend the peninsula a bit towards the dining area
• replace the top mount sink with an under-mount sink, or a farm sink if it's in the budget
• replace the current kitchen faucet with a very cool, conversation piece type faucet, like this, this, this, or this, depending on your particular style.

Edit: formatting

Edit #2, I was in a rush yesterday, and my google search for "cool kitchen faucets" was underwhelming, so these faucets are techno free:

• this touch-to-turn-on one is cool
  
• this on might be cool for a country styled kitchen
  
• this one which is cool by its minimalism
  
• this modern one with a traditional style finish
  
• and this one, that I have always loved in put a similar, but less cool one is a house we remodeled 10 years ago

My wife and I bought this one 5 years ago

Naa I got a converter kit and a diverter plug. Works perfectly. Cutting into the wall and buying/replacing the valve would have taken many more hours of work and actually would have costed a lot more. No regrets ;D

Would this work as well? I am missing the handle too so I need it all.

Think this might work for you?:
