Arguably my favorite part of my job is making selections. And two of my favorite selections to make are kitchen faucets and cabinet hardware. I think they’re capable of changing the entire vibe of a space and I love to coordinate them in subtle ways. Below you’ll find my 4 favorite faucet and hardware combos as well as a little insight into how I’ve gone about pairing them together.

Hansgrohe Allegro+Top Knobs Riverside Pull in Honey Bronze

I love the smooth curves of the Hansgrohe Allegro faucet. It’s a high end affordable fixture that truly shines on a countertop. The riverside pull from Top Knobs is one of my favorites because of how simple it is. Straight on the pull simply looks like a bar but from the sides and below it has the same smooth curvature as the faucet handle of the Allegro making the two an obvious pair for me.

Hansgrohe Lacarno + Top Knobs Serene

The Hansgrohe Lacarno is an absolute jewel in the kitchen. This faucet is glamorous and modern yet it’s simple and clean enough for just about any taste. Its octogan shaped base is a subtle detail that dresses it up just enough for it to be more than your basic modern faucet. The Serene knob from Top Knobs is an obvious choice for the Lacarno. With its similar base and simple clean lines the Serene compliments it perfectly, it’s a detail some people may never notice but the complimentary designs are something that will be pleasing to the eye for years to come.

Hansgrohe Joleena + Top Knobs Barrington

The Joleena by Hansgrohe is a popular faucet with our clients. Its a fantastic transitional faucet or for those interested in the ‘modern farmhouse’ vibe. It isn’t too fussy but still has some low key details that make it more eyecatching than your basic modern faucet. The tapered handle on the Joleena pairs wonderfully with Top Knobs Barrington pull. This pull is tapers down towards the middle and has a smooth continual shape. If finding something that isn’t fussy, is slightly transitional and feels amazing in your hands is what you’re after than this combo is definetely for you.

Brizo Artesso + Top Knobs Kara Pull & Knob

Last but certainly not least we have the Brizo Artesso. Another faucet that has a way with commanding the kitchen. This faucet is large, it has an excelent sprayer and has beautiful details like the ridges around it and the ball on the end of the handle. I always suggest pairing this faucet with the Top Knobs Kara Pull & Knob. I love how both the Artesso and Kara have a ball on the end and the ridges around them. We put them in our kitchen and it’s a detail that not many people notice but there’s just something about the way they work together in the space that looks classic and beautiful.

So when you’re working on your kitchen design some things to note when pairing your faucet and hardware that go beyond simply matching finishes, because surprise the finishes don’t have to match on the two! (But we’ll talk about that another day.)

Remember these tips:

Similar base shapes, are the base of the cabinet hardware and the base of the faucet similar. Note how the base of the Lacarno and the base of the Serene are the same shape.
If the bases aren’t similar what other features are? If you cut a Barrington pull in half the taper of the pull would look almost identical to the tapered handle of the Joleena Faucet.
Details, details, details. The Artesso and the Kara knob and pull have th same details. From the ball on the end of each knob to the ridges around it.
