Ready to Choose Your Taps and Fixtures? Let’s Make It Easy.

Whether you're nearing the final stages of your kitchen or bathroom renovation, or simply looking to refresh your space with new tapware, choosing the right fixtures can feel a little overwhelming. With so many styles, finishes, and functions on the market, where do you even begin?

Here are the key things to think about when picking the perfect tap:

Function First

Start by asking yourself: what exactly do I need this tap to do? Some taps in your home will be used frequently and may need to be more durable, larger, or offer specific features suited to their purpose.

Match the Style

Your tap should do more than just function—it should complement the overall aesthetic of your room. A tap might be a small item, but it plays a big role in the visual appeal of your kitchen or bathroom. Make sure it blends seamlessly with your space’s design.

Maintenance Matters

Consider how much effort you want to put into cleaning. Glossy finishes like chrome may show fingerprints and watermarks more easily than matte or brushed finishes, which are generally more forgiving.

Comfort and Ergonomics

Since taps are touched multiple times every day, choose one that feels good in your hand and is easy to operate—especially for children or elderly family members.

Check the WELS Rating

All taps sold in Australia are rated using the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) system. Look for taps with a higher star rating (up to six stars) to ensure you’re choosing a water-efficient option that can help reduce your water bills over time.

Tap Types to Consider

Once you’ve thought about all the above, it’s time to choose the tap style that suits your needs and space. Common types include:

• Floor-mounted taps

• Wall-mounted taps

• Pillar taps

• Mixer taps

• Bath filler taps

• Bath and shower mixers

We always recommend visiting a local homewares or bathroom showroom so you can see, touch, and test different tap styles before making your final choice.
