The designer-approved accessory we’re all bringing into our contemporary kitchens

We may have been a little slow to embrace the practical and aesthetic glory of a pot filler, but now they’re trending, we’re never going to let them go.

Design enthusiasts, constant coffee-drinkers, and Kardashian superfans rejoice, this is the one kitchen trend that unites us all.

Pot filler taps, or kettle faucets, as they are best-known in the US, have made a statement on kitchen walls for centuries.

‘These can be discreet and simple or as elaborate and flashy as something out of a Victorian firehouse.

A pot filler will steal the limelight in any room, but pairing this piece with the right kind of colors will bring your space to glorious new heights.

‘Besides eliminating any distance between stove & faucet, pot fillers provide a great excuse to add a stylish fixture to the often simple and large tiled space behind the stove.

‘I love going with the antique look that almost looks like it should be on a piece of furniture.

Who says pot fillers should be limited to a kitchen? With all their assets, it’s only natural to want to inject its majesty throughout the rest of our interiors.
