We’re taking a deep dive into kitchen tap and sink combinations, lifting cues from six unique kitchen projects by local and international designers.
The hardworking heroes in our kitchen spaces are undeniably the tap and sink. For their obvious practical and aesthetic value, we know this pair deserves time and consideration when crafting a well-resolved kitchen. In partnership with Abey Australia, we’re exploring how their versatile range of kitchen taps and sinks can be tailored to six distinct interior styles; Family, Modern Australian, Nordic, European Elegance, Beach House and Monochrome Minimalism.

Monochrome Minimalism
No greater statement can be made in a streamlined monochrome kitchen than with black tapware, as captured in the Brighton Residence II by Tecture and Studio Tate. The Gareth Ashton Lucia Square Sidelever Mixer and Schock Undermount Double Bowl Sink are a striking pair to punctuate a subdued kitchen palette.

Nordic
Characterised by simplicity, Nordic style is all about the neutral and natural, where clean lines and an underlying sense of timelessness prevail. As featured in this Swedish kitchen designed by Nordiska Kok, the style commonly leans on stainless steel fixtures such as a Schock Alfresco Laios Pull-Out Stainless Steel Mixer and Abey Piazza Plus Sink.

European Elegance
An elegant European aesthetic combines ornate mouldings with decorative fixtures and a traditional colour palette. The Thomas by The Specified draws on this much-loved style with a balance of contemporary finishes. The Chambord Philippe II Single Bowl and Armando Vicario Palais Kitchen Mixer offer an ageless sense of sophistication.

Beach House
Australian homes by the beach evoke a sense of tranquillity like no other. Drawing on a palette that mirrors the seaside locale, Corben Architects have introduced an under-mount sink similar to the Barazza Cubo Double Bowl Sink and an Armando Vicario Luz Pull Out Kitchen Mixer that punctuates the neutral kitchen hues.

Family
A style built on functionality, Minosa have articulated family living in this light-filled Sydney kitchen renovation with generous bench space and storage, as well as cleverly integrated appliances. The German-engineered Schock Soho Sink Magma under-mount sink conceals itself from eye level, and the Just Sink Mixer with Pull-Out by Gessi completes this sculpturally sophisticated kitchen.
