What are the top 4 sink and tapware styles to try
Ready to give your kitchen a makeover? Check out the top four sink and tapware styles to try with tips from Abey Australia that will bring your dream kitchen to life.
1. Matching sink and tapware finishes
While stainless steel was once the default choice for kitchen sinks — it’s given way to an array of finishes across various design aesthetics.
For a dark, moody ambience, combine an Abey German-made Schock black sink and an Italian-made Gessi black tap. For the Kitchen, using Abey’s Schock D200P Schock Signus One & ¾ Bowl Kitchen Sink in Puro with a Gessi Just Pull Out Kitchen Mixer in Black is a trendy option. Follow this look into the butler’s pantry, with Abey’s Schock N100SP SOHO Single Bowl Sink in Puro.
For a more airy and calming effect, a white kitchen sink and tap is perfect for a timeless look that makes you never want to leave your kitchen.
Abey’s Schock N-100XLYW Signus large white sink with a GESSI Just Pull Out Kitchen Mixer in White is a fashionable option when creating this style.
The provincial and Hampton design trend will continue into 2024 — evoking a sense of nostalgia and warmth with intricate sink and tapware details adding to this classic style.
Abey’s Armando Vicario 400674BN Provincial Kitchen Mixer boasts all classic etched details but also the technology of a modern kitchen mixer. This includes a pull out, graceful spout and easy to use lever that makes cooking and cleaning a breeze.
2. Mixing complementary finishes
Prefer a more eclectic approach? Expect to see a surge in mixing finishes — particularly the blend of metallic for fixtures and appliances.
Abey continues to take the lead, with some of its kitchen sinks now being available in Black Pearl, Artisan Copper and Eureka Gold. Abey’s Piazza Finishes Collection encompasses all these trendy options and a variety of Gareth Ashton taps to complement them perfectly.
The most popular finish combo? Meet Abey’s Piazza CR500DB One & ¾ Double Bowl Sink in Black Pearl. Adding a Gareth Ashton KTA014-G Gooseneck Pull Out Mixer in Eureka Gold makes the black sink pop and creates an aesthetically pleasing space.
3. Undermount sinks
Who can resist a sleek and stylish look? So it’s no surprise that clean and minimalistic undermount kitchen sinks continue to take Australian kitchens by storm. And Abey has one of the most diverse collections of undermount sinks anywhere.
In addition to spacious bowls, the generous Lucia One & 3/4 Double Bowl LUA221, Lucia Double Bowl LUA200 and Piazza CR500D One & ¾ Bowl are both made with premium quality stainless steel. Meanwhile, Abey’s Italian-made and highly-functional Barazza 1 & ¾ Bowl Sink 1X942I is designed with sound-proof and efficient draining technology.
4. Bring the magic outside
Alfresco dining? Outdoor soirees? Scenic meals? Consider it done. But more than just the party atmosphere, don’t forget to secure fixtures and fittings that hold up to the harsh Australian elements.
Lucky for outdoor lovers, Abey has created a range of Alfresco kitchen sinks and tapware options all manufactured from 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel.
The Abey Alfresco FRA340 Small Single Bowl Sink and FRA540 Large Sink Bowl Sink with a Schock Alfresco Kitchen Mixer will enhance any alfresco dining experience with their functionality and modern design. It is made from 316 marine-grade stainless steel that will never rust.
