The right bathroom faucet is the one that matches your sink’s hole configuration, fits your décor, and comes from a finish built to last. Start with the sink, then pick the style.
Match the faucet to your sink holes
Single-hole, centerset (4 in.), and widespread (8 in.) faucets each fit a different drilling. Check how many holes your sink or countertop has before you shop, or you may end up with gaps to cover.
Pick a finish that lasts
Brushed nickel and matte black hide water spots and fingerprints better than polished chrome. All three are durable; the choice is mostly about looks and how much cleaning you want to do.
