When you’re designing your kitchen, designer style and high tech appliances will often be high on your wishlist. But have you thought about what you want from your kitchen taps? While you might think you tap needs are insignificant to your other kitchen wants, choosing the right tap can make a major difference to your kitchen living. Find out how as we explore some of the best kitchen taps on the market right now…
Say goodbye to filter water jugs with a tap that dispenses regular water and filtered water with just one fitting. The Blancofiltra flow tap is just one example of the new multi-directional tap and operates in two directions – giving you mains water when pulled one way, and filtered water when pulled another way.
Ditch the kettle and adopt the ultra modern boiling water tap. At Kitchen Design Centre we’re big fans of the Quooker tap. In fact, it features in many of our designs. Unlike a regular hot water tap it can deliver steaming hot water instantly, allowing you to make your cup of tea or boil your rice and veggies in an instant. What’s more, the Quooker tap saves energy and water, and costs you just three pence a day to have boiling water whenever you want it.
If you’re looking for a tap to complement your kitchen design you’re in luck. You don’t just have to stick to stainless steel silver designs these days; kitchen taps are available in a variety of colours, including black. One of our favourites has to be the BLANCOELIPSO-S II, from Blanco, which features one of today’s in-colours. And for the popular industrial style kitchen, why not opt for brass or chrome?
If you’re a keen cook, or use a basin rather than a dishwasher to wash up, you’ll love the cleaning power of the spray tap. Its flexibility means washing and rinsing is easy, allowing you to clean at a variety of angles with ease. What’s more, the design of the pull-out spray tap is pretty stylish too!
If you’ve got a soft spot for gadgets, you’ll love Grohe’s Minta Touch Tap. Simply tap it with your wrist to turn it on and off. This clever feature also ensures you’ll avoid getting your tap mucky or covered in germs and bacteria.
If the sound of these kitchen taps has got you all inspired, why not pop into one of our showrooms to find out what other gadgets you can include in your new kitchen design? Our showrooms designs are not only stylish; they’re also fitted with the latest, and best, appliances, such as the Quooker tap and top-of-the-range appliances from Neff.

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
