Will a brushed nickel tap look v different to stainless steel?
Comments (28)I like No2 simply because the end nozzle looks as though it has fewer grooves and other kitchen yuck catching spots - lol, that's just me. Quality-wise, have you copied and pasted the item names into a search engine, added the word 'reviews' and hit enter? I do that a lot on things I find on Amazon, and I've seen a lot of those things skyrocket in price only because as 5* rave reviews increase the seller (including items sold by Amazon) bumps the price up accordingly. Running a 'Net search brings back interesting results (verifying or negating the rave Amazon reviews) and I've seen good comparison sites - sometimes the price is so good I then do a search on reviews of the better priced non-Amazon seller. Surprise, surprise, some of those better priced sellers have very bad reviews for items arriving broken and Customer Service less than helpful. Agree with the others that when it comes to taps it pays to pay to avoid being hit with another purchase far sooner than expected, but I have to say I found a hand wash basin on Amazon for two thirds of RRP, no reviews - we took a chance and that basin is gorgeous. Came with everything needed, installed like a dream. The gamble worked out splendidly for us. And the day after I reviewed it, the seller bumped the price £15, lol! Still a bargain, people are buying it (and giving it rave reviews like mine) even though every time a new rave review is posted the price bumps up another £10-£15....See MoreIs it Over for Stainless Steel in the Kitchen?
Comments (23)It may be worth noting that strong bleach can cause corrosion in stainless steels and in general is not recommended. Also continuous exposure to salt water will begin to corrode stainless. 316 is a stainless that has molybdenum added to help protect it from the chlorine that is in salt and bleach, chlorine can break down the layer of chrome oxide that is normally present on the surface of stainless and makes stainless, stainless. A simple environmentally friendly cleaner for sinks is bicarb and a mild (2.5%) peroxide....See MoreSink & Tap Colour Concern
Comments (16)Burgess Kitchens you just made me laugh! :-) I'm definitely a black black girl normally but in this case i'm leaning towards the tin man look (brushed steel tap and satin finish sink), not generally a good fashion look but hopefully the kitchen can pull it off!! I know both will look good but as Colourhappy and Forzaitalia mention I think the brushed steel option will be timeless. I genuinely can't believe how many things i have had to consider when choosing this kitchen, its mind blowing but thanks everyone for your input!...See MoreSink & taps? Help
Comments (10)If you are definitely getting a double or 1.5-bowl sink, I agree with qudaus above about having the larger bowl at least 500mm, or even larger if you can fit it. It's so much easier to manipulate large pots and pans, baking trays and roasting tins without splashing water everywhere. On taps, I would always go with a single-lever mixer, which is easy to use even with floury, oily or dirty hands. Make sure that the neck has enough (high) clearance over the sink so that you can place high pans underneath. When I did my kitchen I saw some 'tap to turn on/off' models but I am not sure whether they work reliably and in any case, I have two cats and my poor water bill if they ever discovered that trick! Taps with a motion detector on/off feature might be worth a look, though. I also love the pull-spray; super convenient for all sorts of things, including filling a pot with water while the sink is full! Also, using the spray to rinse the sides of pots before washing saves a lot of water compared to filling them to soak. I don't have a hot-water tap and would never choose to, but those who have one swear by them. I feel like it's a waste of energy to keep water at boiling point 24/7, although the manufacturers tell us it is not... Anyway, I just boil the kettle with the volume of water I need for hot drinks, and for cooking, eg pasta, I use the induction hob, which is quick (admittedly not instant!) and extremely energy efficient. Good luck and have fun!...See More

5 years agoThe brass from the lights, copper taps and stainless steel sink maybe too much, and especially so if your switches/sockets are a different finish like polished chrome ...
The copper tap could work with a SS sink if you can add copper accents elsewhere and limit the finishes to the two.
