The kitchen tap may be one of the most used fixtures in your home — but in modern design, it’s also a style statement. Whether you're renovating a sleek contemporary kitchen or designing from scratch, the right tap elevates both function and aesthetic.

At Majorelle Interiors, we supply an exceptional range of designer taps from leading brands including Dornbracht, Perrin & Rowe, and Clearwater — bringing cutting-edge performance and luxury finishes into the heart of your kitchen.

Here’s what to consider when choosing the perfect kitchen tap for a modern space.

1. Choose the Right Style for Your Kitchen Design

Modern kitchens tend to favour minimalism, clean lines, and intuitive design — and your tap should reflect that.

  • Monobloc taps: A single lever tap with integrated mixer. Perfect for handle-free kitchens or streamlined worktops.

  • Pull-out or pull-down taps: Combine versatility with a contemporary edge — ideal for cooking and cleaning with ease.

  • Professional-style spray taps: Inspired by commercial kitchens, these offer high function and striking visual impact.

Explore our modern collection from Clearwater — ideal for minimal, open-plan spaces.

2. Match Your Finish to Your Fixtures

Gone are the days when chrome was your only option. Modern kitchens now embrace a range of finishes to coordinate with handles, appliances and surfaces.

  • Brushed nickel or stainless steel: A timeless, low-maintenance option that works beautifully in modern settings.

  • Matt black: Bold, architectural, and ideal for monochrome or industrial-inspired kitchens.

  • Antique brass or bronze: Add depth and warmth to contemporary kitchens, especially when paired with wood or stone.

3. Consider Functionality First

A tap should look good — but it also needs to work hard.

Key features to look for in a modern kitchen:

  • Swivel spouts: Ideal for double sinks or island layouts.

  • Water-saving aerators: Reduce flow without compromising pressure.

  • Boiling or filtered water taps: Smart upgrades for convenience and eco-efficiency.

Many of our Perrin & Rowe taps offer integrated filtration and traditional style with a modern twist.

4. Think About Installation Type

Your sink and worktop setup will guide your installation options:

  • Deck-mounted taps: Fixed directly into the sink or worktop. Simple and sleek.

  • Wall-mounted taps: Offer a clutter-free finish and easy cleaning around the basin.

  • Bridge taps: A more traditional look, but can work well in transitional kitchens.

5. Invest in Quality Engineering

With daily use, it’s worth investing in a tap that combines solid brass construction, ceramic disc technology, and precision engineering.

Brands like Dornbracht and Perrin & Rowe are known not only for their design but for performance, durability, and long-term serviceability.
