For many New Zealanders the kitchen is the central hub of activity in the home, it’s a functional space to congregate and evokes a feeling of comfort and togetherness. Kitchen taps are one of the most used objects in the home and while their sturdiness and efficiency is imperative, flawless design is a vital stylistic finishing touch.
While sharp, geometric forms have ruled interior spaces in the past couple of years, trends are now shifting toward curves, and rounded edges. This softer look helps relax angular modern home designs and embodies the flowing experience of water.
Embracing elegant, rounded shapes found in enduring Italian design, the Methven Minimalist Gooseneck Sink Mixer flaunts graceful curved lines with intersecting cylinders creating a sturdy yet graceful base, enhancing any kitchen with its minimal design and organic curves. For those who don’t want to abandon angular design completely, the Methven Waipori Swivel Sink Mixer offers strong linear shapes with subtly tapered edges for bold modern aesthetics. Attractive, slimline and compact, this single lever sink mixer hosts clever 3600 rotation to ensure effortless integration into any kitchen.
Kitchen taps are one of the most used aspects in the home and therefore upgrading efficiency and versatility is a must. Pull-down sink mixers are extremely useful and provide a touch of modernity to any kitchen. Inspired by industrial and commercial kitchens, these task-focused mixers deliver a higher degree of moveability in and around the sink with an extendable hose for spray flexibility.
Designed to enhance not only the kitchen space, but also the homeowner’s lifestyle, the Methven Gaston Pull Down Twin Function Sink Mixer features the latest in tapware innovation and design, with the versatility of a pull-out or pull-down spray option. For a more discreet option, the Methven Minimalist Urban Pull Out Sink Mixer disguises the pull-out spout with either chrome or black accents, adding a touch of personality to the tapware.
With so many designs and finishes to choose from, a kitchen tap can easily become the focal point for the room. Chrome tapware continues to be a versatile option for any look, while matte black finishes and accents make a confident and stylish statement. Black in particular creates a strong silhouette that accentuates modern angular shapes and more traditional embellished designs alike.
The latest addition to the Methven Aio collection, the new Aio Sink Mixer is available in the popular matte black finish allowing homeowners to carry the aesthetic of the collection from the bathroom through to the kitchen.
While the kitchen should focus predominantly on functionality, the space should also evolve to suit your needs and showcase cohesiveness with the general home design, offering simplicity and elegance as well as a powerful water experience.
