Kitchen upgrades are always exciting because there’s so much you can do with this wonderful space. The right tweaks here and there can transform any dull kitchen into the room of your dreams – but what a lot of homeowners forget about is the simple kitchen faucet. You deck out the rest of the space with cool things and tech-focused gadgets, yet you still rock the same boring faucet. 

Well, now more. Here are some surprisingly cool ways to upgrade your kitchen faucet and make it more useful and stylish: 

A Pull-Down Shower Faucet

Sick of how annoying it is to angle your faucet while rinsing off plates after dinner? A pull-down shower faucet changes this by letting you pull out the very end of the faucet so it resembles a shower hose. Some even have a little switch you flick to change the water flow to resemble that of a shower. It gives you mobility to angle the stream and wash plates with ease. They’re easy to install as well: any plumber worth their salt can swap out your old faucet for one of these new ones. 

An Instant Boiling Water Faucet

These have become extremely popular because they give you boiling water right away. You don’t have to boil a pot of water on the stove or buy a kettle; it’s a simple case of turning your faucet to the right setting and watching the hot water flow. You’ll find plenty of boiling water faucets out there – the best ones are usually those with good safety features. You don’t want to risk turning it on by accident when you’re washing the dishes or getting a glass of water! 

Handsfree Kitchen Faucets

Do you hate the fact that your kitchen faucet constantly looks dirty because you touch it with greasy hands? Sure, you clean it as often as you can remember, but a hands-free kitchen faucet removes this problem entirely. You’ll find some that activate based on motion – it’s like when you go to the bathroom in some restaurants, and the faucets turn on when you place your hands under them. You could have that, but in your kitchen, for a truly modern upgrade. 

Faucet With A Water Filter

You can find some really high-tech kitchen faucets with built-in water filters that give you exceptionally clean drinking water. They come in all sorts of styles, but the premise remains the same: if you live in a hard water area or just want peace of mind when having water at home, then this little upgrade will be an absolute killer. 

Sparkling Water Faucets

Much like your boiling water faucet, this upgrade uses special technology to alter the water as it flows from your pipes. The difference is that this doesn’t heat up the water: it carbonates it. Fans of sparkling water will love this idea – and it’s a fancy little upgrade to show off at your next dinner party. 

A modern kitchen deserves a modern kitchen faucet, so don’t settle for a boring design that provides low pressure and nothing else. Upgrade your faucet to something practical and impressive.
