Making A Splash: Kitchen Pot Filler Faucets

Modern farmhouse kitchen includes stainless steel pot filler and monochromatic backsplash tile. A slim backsplash ledge provides convenient spot for items while cooking.Light blue traditional style kitchen with range hood, slab backsplash and pot fillerIf you’re someone who does a lot of cooking, then adding a pot filler faucet to your kitchen design is something you won’t regret.

Usually located next to the range, pot fillers streamline food prep by bringing water directly to where it’s needed. No more lugging a heavy pot of water from the sink to the cooktop! After preparing a few meals you’ll wonder how you ever lived without this convenient kitchen fixture.

Some advantages of pot fillers include:

Save time and effort—Speed up food prep by providing water near the cooktop.

Reduce physical strain—Carrying heavy, water-filled pots across the kitchen is a safety hazard, especially for cooks who are growing older (and their youngest helpers).

Minimize messes and spills—Filling pots at the range prevents spills from trips to the sink.

Enhance kitchen design—Pot fillers add a professional “home chef” look to the range area, and they come in various finishes that can be matched to other fixtures in the kitchen.

Increase functionality—Creates an extra water source that can be used when main kitchen sink is tied up.

Convenient for larger pots—Fill oversized pots that don’t fit into the kitchen’s main sink.

Space-saving—Some pot fillers feature dual jointed arms that fold flat when not in use.

Whatever your cooking style, the perfect pot-filling faucet can be selected to suit your needs.

Double Island Kitchen Design Ideas

Transitional gray and white kitchenIncorporating double islands in a kitchen is a great way to achieve multiple goals. In homes with an active family the kitchen acts as their base of operations, and having two islands makes the kitchen ultra flexible for meals, catching up over cookies or extra work and study areas.

When space allows, double islands are a good way to maximize traffic flow without sacrificing storage. This will create room for people to gather around one island while food is being prepared on the other, or one can offer hors d’oeuvres while the other offers seating – it just opens the door for added functionality and regular usage of the entire space.

The key to making double islands work in a kitchen remodel is having adequate space. It’s really not something that’s easy to pull off in a small space without your kitchen looking cramped. Islands are an attractive focal point, but it’s important to make sure their scale is not too overwhelming in relation to the rest of the kitchen.

If you’re thinking of remodeling your kitchen, set up a time to talk to one of our Designers about bringing your own vision to life.
