Discover the Best Bathroom Faucet Types
Finding the right faucet requires thoughtful research with various configurations and installation considerations. To save you time, here’s our overview of the most popular and celebrated bathroom faucet types.
Deck-Mounted Bathroom Sink Faucets
Let’s begin with installation types.
Deck-mount bathroom faucets are one of the most common bathroom faucet types. If you didn’t know, a deck-mounted faucet is installed through holes on top of a vanity or console. Many counters and vanities come with pre-drilled holes for a simple installation.

Take your vanity or console to new heights with a minimal yet stunning 3-D printed faucet. The innovative spout on the Grid sink faucet features a unique form with discreet waterways for a modern look, and its solid brass frame is hand-buffed and powder-coated for a lightly textured appeal.
Deck-Mount Faucet for Classic Elegance
For an elevated look, consider an arch-spout faucet with knob handles. As part of our Script™ Decorative collection, this faucet features a crisscross pattern, drawing inspiration from artisan jewelry makers. The vibrant white gloss handles promote a fresh look for any powder room or master bath.
Wall-Mounted Bathroom Sink Faucets
As you know, wall-mounted bathroom faucets are installed via holes in the wall instead of the countertop. A wall-mount sink faucet is especially useful for increasing counter space or accommodating a large sink basin.
Wall-Mount Faucet Backsplash Installation
When installed against a marble backsplash, your wall-mount faucet can serve as the artful centerpiece of your vanity. Fluted lever handles and high-quality solid brass construction allow this faucet from our Central Park West collection to blend seamlessly with the traditional marble aesthetic.
Single-Control Wall-Mount Faucet
With a minimalist form, this single-handle wall-mount faucet nestles harmoniously in any modern setting. Its single control handle frees up wall space for a cleaner aesthetic and makes for an easy installation. Some single-control faucets have separate holes for the spout and handles, while others have a single-hole design.
Types of Bathroom Faucet Handles
Faucet handles come in many designs appropriate for any bathroom, from elegant and traditional to sophisticated and modern. Whether your bathroom design needs sleek lever handles, tactile cross handles, or the elegant simplicity of a single control, let’s explore the possibilities below to create the personal sanctuary of your dreams.
Knob Handles
Knob handles are tactile and understated, with many offered with decorative details. Minimal yet elegant, this faucet from our For Loft collection evokes classic opulence with its fine, European-cut crystal handles. The crystal accents extend beyond the handles to encompass the lift rod with a design reminiscent of a beautifully cut diamond.
Lever Handles
Ergonomic and user-friendly, many lever handle faucets are ADA-compliant. The modern lines of this faucet designed by Laura Kirar bring upscale simplicity to modern and traditional designs.
Cross Handles
In a familiar T- or X-shape, cross-handle faucets offer a unique tactile experience in addition to a historic aesthetic. This traditional faucet from our Bellis collection boasts knurling details and smooth cross handles to serve as the perfect addition to any classic bathroom setting.
Single-Handle
For a minimal approach with a sense of classic sophistication, the fluid design and clean lines of a single-handle faucet will blend seamlessly with many design styles.
Decorative Handles
Make a statement with crystal knob handles. This faucet from our Script™ Decorative collection features crystal knobs made with hand-cut French crystal from renowned crystal-maker, Saint Louis.
Marble Handles
Whether you choose white Carrara or black Nero Marquina, marble adds an undeniable elegance to faucet handles. This timelessly sophisticated material will bring a feeling of opulence to any space with its rich color and subtle patterns.
Black Crystal Handles
Our Per Se Decorative faucet features striking black crystal knob handles uninhibited by multilayered details, allowing them to shine at their fullest potential in your contemporary bathroom space.
Bathroom Faucet Spout Styles
Bathroom faucet spout types range from sweeping gooseneck designs to minimal and low forms. Discover all the different faucet spouts to determine which one best meets your needs.
Tall Spout
Tall spouts pair well with vessel sinks and basins, ensuring there is adequate space between both fixtures. As they are more engaging and artful, you can use a tall-spout faucet as a focal point in your interior.
Low Spout
Consider combining a low-spout faucet with a pedestal sink for a timeless look in your guest bathroom. Our For Town sink faucet features a flat spout and hexagonal base, pairing well with a classic interior.
Arch Spout Bathroom Faucets
The arch spout, also called a gooseneck spout, is the epitome of elegance. A graceful spout catches the eye on its own and creates space for a tile backsplash or wallpaper to be enjoyed.
