Tapware Selection Guide
Read our Tapware Selection Guide for information required to make an informed choice when purchasing your kitchen taps.
The Heart of Your Kitchen: Choosing Taps That Elevate Function and Style
A kitchen tap isn’t just a tool—it’s the centrepiece of your culinary space. It blends practicality with design, shaping how you interact with your kitchen daily. At The Blue Space, we understand the impact of selecting the right tap. From sleek modern designs to timeless classics, our collections cater to every taste and requirement. Let’s explore what makes a tap stand out and why your choice matters.
Why Kitchen Taps Matter More Than You Think
Taps set the tone for your kitchen’s aesthetic. A well-chosen design can tie together cabinetry, benchtops, and lighting. But it’s not just about looks. Durability, ease of use, and water efficiency play equally vital roles. Whether you’re rinsing vegetables or filling pots, the right tap makes tasks smoother.
Our range spans styles to suit any kitchen. For those drawn to bold statements, matte black or brushed brass finishes add drama. Prefer subtlety? Chrome or stainless steel offers timeless appeal. Each option balances form and function, crafted to withstand daily demands.
Discover our full selection of kitchen taps to find the perfect match.
Materials and Finishes: Beauty That Lasts
The material of your tap affects both appearance and longevity. Here’s a breakdown of popular choices:
-
Gold Taps: Luxurious and warm, gold taps create a focal point in contemporary or vintage kitchens. Pair them with marble benchtops for a striking contrast. Browse our gold taps collection for opulent options.
-
Chrome: Shiny and versatile, chrome suits almost any style. It resists fingerprints and blends seamlessly with stainless steel appliances. Explore chrome taps for a classic look.
-
Brushed Nickel: Subtle texture and muted shine make this finish ideal for rustic or industrial spaces. Check out our brushed nickel tapware.
-
Matte Black: Bold and modern, black taps add depth to minimalist kitchens. They’re easy to clean and hide water spots. See our black kitchen taps.
Each finish has unique care requirements. For instance, brass develops a patina over time, while stainless steel needs regular polishing. Consider your lifestyle and maintenance preferences before deciding.
Types of Taps: Form Meets Function
The right tap type depends on how you use your kitchen. Let’s break down popular designs:
-
Pull-Out Sink Mixers: Ideal for deep sinks, these feature a retractable spray head. Perfect for washing large pans or filling pots. Discover our pull-out sink mixers.
-
Gooseneck Designs: With a high, arched spout, these provide ample clearance for tall items. Pair with a farmhouse sink for a rustic charm. View gooseneck sink mixers.
-
Pot Fillers: Mounted near the stove, these save time by filling pots directly. A game-changer for avid cooks. Explore pot filler taps.
-
Sensor Taps: Touchless operation improves hygiene and reduces water waste. Great for busy households. See electronic sensor mixers.
Mixing styles can also work. For example, pair a classic bridge tap with a modern pull-out spray.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good quality tap?
When you are looking for the best kitchen taps, opt for materials like brass with high quality finishes. While they can be more expensive, they will also last a lot longer. Investing in a good quality tap, means you’re paying for better design, longer warranties, additional functionally, and the option for customisation. One easy way to tell if a tap is of a higher quality is by inspecting its weight. Cheaper models will be lightweight because they are made from plastic, whereas a high-end piece should be heavy and solid.
How do I choose the right kitchen tapware for my home?
A good place to start is to consider who will be using the tap. Kitchen taps with round or cross handles can be more difficult to use, particularly for children, people with dexterity issues and the elderly. Instead, a tap like a single-lever mixer can often be more ergonomic and convenient as they simplify temperature adjustment. This kitchen tapware is also perfect for multitasking moments as they are easy to turn on one-handed or with the nudge of your wrist.
Maybe you need a more heavy-duty tap? Kitchen tapware that has a swivel spout and directional nozzle is extra handy as it makes cooking, food prep and clean-up a breeze. If you’re frequently using pots and vases, you’ll want to choose a tap that’s tall enough to fit them under the spout. If you have the sink space, consider choosing a pull-out mixer as its extendable hose allows for maximum reach and is useful for washing up larger cookware.
Make sure you choose a kitchen tap that matches your existing water pressure. For example, if you install a kitchen tap that needs a high-pressure system and your current system doesn’t support it, then your flow of hot water is bound to be weak.
What’s the average lifespan of kitchen tapware?
You should easily get 15-20 years of use out of a typical mixer, however, there are many factors to take into consideration. Kitchen taps will last longer or shorter depending on how often you use them and if they’ve had proper maintenance as well as their make and model. Tap and mixer repairs can cost around 30% of the price for a full replacement so it can often be more economical long-term to opt for a brand new tap. It can also be worth your while to invest in high-quality kitchen tapware as it will last you longer. It might be time for a replacement if you’ve noticed your tap is dripping, the water pressure is all over the place, the handles are cracked and worn out or maybe it just looks outdated.
Why is kitchen tapware so expensive?
The price of tapware and kitchen sinks can seem high, particularly for something so simple. The reason behind this is usually a combination of factors like the material they're made of and the engineering that goes into their manufacture. Trendy or custom-made designs can also bump up the price point. Another reason behind this is because commercial kitchen tapware isn’t a high selling product. As previously mentioned, homeowners don’t need to buy new kitchen taps frequently so manufacturers don't nessisarily get the economies of scale.
It’s difficult to find a good quality tap or mixer for under $100 as in most cases, they are made of cheap material like plastics which are more prone to cracking, leaking, or wearing down over time. However, at The Blue Space, we have premium quality kitchen tapware at prices for any budget, so you can have the best of both worlds.
Why should I invest in high-quality kitchen taps?
High-quality kitchen taps offer superior functionality, durability, and style. They enhance your kitchen’s usability, improve water efficiency, and add value to your home by making your kitchen more attractive to potential buyers.
What types of kitchen tapware are available?
Our collection includes a wide range of kitchen tapware, such as gooseneck mixers, pull-out sink mixers, pot fillers, 3-piece sink sets, sensor sink taps, and single-lever sink mixers. Each type is designed to suit different kitchen styles and functional needs.
How do I maintain my kitchen taps?
Kitchen taps are easy to maintain with regular cleaning using mild soap and water. To keep your taps looking their best, avoid abrasive cleaners and dry the taps after each use to prevent water spots.
Can kitchen taps fit into any design style?
Yes, kitchen taps are available in a wide range of styles and finishes, making them suitable for any kitchen design, from modern and minimalist to classic and traditional.
