When it comes to designing or renovating a laundry room, tapware might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But choosing the right laundry tapware can make a significant difference not just in how your space looks, but also in how well it functions.
Unlike kitchen or bathroom taps, laundry taps need to withstand frequent use and support a wide range of tasks from hand-washing delicate garments to filling up buckets or cleaning tools. Practicality is key, but so is durability.
When it comes to laundry tapware solutions, the choice depends on your laundry layout, plumbing, and personal style.
Here are the most common types:
- Wall-mounted taps save space and are ideal for minimalist laundry designs. They’re especially practical when paired with a deep laundry trough
- Single Lever Mixer taps combining hot and cold water in a single spout and are installed directly onto the bench or laundry tub. They often feature swivel spouts for easy manoeuvring
- Pull-out or pull-down Single Lever Mixer taps are a fantastic choice in a laundry giving you the flexibility to move the spray head around the tub or fill buckets
- Washing Machine Taps specifically designed to connect your washer directly to the water supply. Dual taps (hot and cold) are common, but modern setups often include a single mixer point
Laundry tapware must handle moisture and wear, so choose a quality material that suits your needs.
Gone are the days when the laundry was a forgotten utility space. Today, designers are elevating the laundry room into a more stylish, integrated part of the home.
Modern tapware is keeping up with this trend offering sleek lines and architectural shapes that can be coordinated with tapware collections to match bathroom and kitchen designs.
When choosing your tapware check your plumbing setup and consider ease of use before making any decisions.
Your laundry tapware may be small in size, but it plays a big role in everyday function and design. Investing in quality tapware means fewer plumbing issues, better performance, and a more enjoyable laundry experience.
