Trend Alert: Touchless Faucets

Have you thought about how to make your time in the kitchen more efficient? Perhaps you’ve heard of touchless faucets and are not sure where to start with them. When it was time to replace the kitchen faucet in my own home, I turned to a touchless option. I love the idea of being able to turn the water on with a wave of my hand! I wasn’t looking for something especially fancy, I just didn’t want to get chicken juice on my faucet handle when cooking. When designing kitchens for my clients, I’m thinking about their needs too, and if a touchless option is best for them.

This Trend Alert focuses on Touchless Faucets as we share our top design tips and considerations to take into account when considering this type of faucet in your kitchen. Let’s take a closer look!

Why we love touchless faucets!

We love anything to do with kitchens that improves efficiency and practicality when cooking. There are so many different technologies and advances these days to help us to maximize our time and efforts.

I love how touchless faucets are available in many different types, colors, brands, and have different control options. As technology has advanced, touchless faucets can now even be voice activated. Imagine turning a faucet on by voice or the wave of your hand. Amazing!

How to use touchless faucets 

A touchless faucet is fairly easily to integrate into your home. Choose a touchless faucet instead of a standard one for your kitchen!

Touchless faucets are great for people who cook regularly and would prefer to turn on the kitchen faucet without contaminating the handle surface. Once installed by a plumber, your faucet can be activated by your voice or the wave of a hand!

What to watch out for with touchless faucets

As with any interior design trend, there are some considerations to take into account when thinking of adding a touchless faucet into your kitchen…

While technologies are definitely advancing and improving all the time, sometimes it’s not at its best. I’ve had more than one client claim to have issues with their touchless faucet. For that reason, I always recommend tried and tested items from reputable brands.

Always check the reviews!
