Effective home remodeling requires both big and small decisions. What kind of flooring do you need and want? What kind of wall covering and window treatments will look good for each room? Is it more important to you to remodel your kitchen or your bathroom? Chances are you'll probably be well along your way on your home improvement project before you decide about your kitchen or bathroom faucet design, but each part of your remodeling project will have an important impact on the quality of the end result. Kitchen and bathroom faucet wall mounts can help create the right look for your home remodeling project.

Faucet Wall Mounts for the Bathroom and Kitchen
In general, faucet design is a matter of personal preference. Sure, a single-lever ball faucet may afford some convenience and is more likely to need repair, but choosing a faucet design is usually more about what you like than the most reasonable or sensible choice. That said, not all faucets are created equal. A wall-mounted faucet will usually require longer spouts to achieve a proper basin reach, although the high mount also creates a unique curve and look for the faucet. In addition, for sink faucets it will leave your counter space unencumbered and sleek looking.

Kitchen Faucet Wall Mounts
Wall-mounted kitchen faucets are essentially the same thing as any other faucet wall mount, except they're usually offered with options tailored for the kitchen. An adjustable swing faucet is common to accommodate the double-basin of most kitchen sinks. Naturally, a kitchen faucet wall mount is available in the same materials as any other faucet, including brass, chrome, and nickel. A low kitchen faucet wall mount will look and act more like a standard faucet mount, while a high wall mount will present a more unique downward arc.

Bathroom Faucet Wall Mounts
Wall-mounted bathroom faucets are a great idea in conjunction with vessel sinks, especially in smaller bathrooms or for narrower bathroom counters, where the sink is naturally placed closer to the wall. A bathroom faucet wall mount is also popular in combination with a wall-mounted bathroom sink. Bathroom counters are a standard installation for any bathroom, but if you're looking for space-saving ideas for a half bath, you might find a bathroom counter isn't nearly as mandatory as you might first think. Rather than have an uncomfortably confined room, a simple wall-mounted sink and faucet combination can really open your bathroom up. A small mirror cabinet can provide more than enough storage for a guest bathroom.

More Types of Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet Mounts

• Hands-Free Faucets: Since part of the reason to choose a wall-mounted faucet is often the sleek design, you might consider a hands-free faucet mount. Not only do these faucets further streamline faucet design, they create a more hygienic bathroom or kitchen since no dirt or bacteria is transferred from your hands to the faucet handles.

• Bridge Mount Faucets: Bridge mount faucets are known for the metal bar that runs between the hot and cold handle stations and are elevated above the counter. These mounts use only two holes, so you may need to employ a decorative sink hole cover.

• Top Mount Faucets: Top mount faucets are visibly mounted on top of the counter and include a built-in valve. Top mount faucets are also known as centerset faucets.

• Bottom Mount Faucets: Bottom mount faucets are easily identified by three separate fixtures for the hot and cold handle stations and faucet spout. Bottom mount faucets are also known as widespread faucets.
