Stylish Function in the Modern Home
When it comes to designing soulful, modern kitchens that feel curated yet functional, our go-to starting point at Twilly & Fig is often one of the most used—work horse —elements in the space: the kitchen faucet. And more often than not, we’re specifying Kohler Faucets.
You may be asking why? Because Kohler consistently delivers on what matters most: timeless design, intuitive function, and long-lasting finishes that elevate the entire sink zone. Whether you’re embarking on a full Plano kitchen remodel, refreshing a sink area in your Dallas home, or outfitting a custom build in North Texas, Kohler Faucets offer that rare mix of beauty and utility that are an asset to any kitchen, bar, laundry room or bathroom.
What to Prioritize When Choosing Your Kohler Faucet
Choosing the right Kohler Faucet starts with understanding your space, your habits, and your design vision. Here’s what we recommend focusing on:
- One-hand ease. A pull-down faucet with smooth handle control and reliable spray options streamlines everything from rinsing produce to filling pots.Make it even easier by selecting a touchless on/off operation with the wave of a hand.
- Proportions that fit. A high-arc spout pairs beautifully with a deep farmhouse sink, while a lower profile suits smaller sinks or areas with overhead shelving. Consider your backsplash height and sink size before selecting the silhouette. Or consider a wall mounted bathroom faucet for a sink or tub when space is an issue or you just want a more modern feel.
- Finish that leads the room. A faucet finish should feel intentional, not accidental. Whether you lean toward polished nickel for timeless glow, brushed brass for warmth, or matte black for contrast, choose one finish to anchor the space—and echo it in a sconce or cabinet pull for a cohesive look.
- Simple cleaning. Kohler’s smooth lines, sleek spray heads, and optional matching soap dispensers make cleanup effortless—and reduce counter top clutter.
Our Favorite Pairings That Rarely Miss
We’ve honed our favorite combinations with Kohler faucets over time, and here are a few we often return to when curating elegant, livable kitchens and bathrooms:
- Light cabinets + veined quartz: opt for a streamlined single-handle faucet in polished nickel—it’s classic, upscale, and endlessly versatile.
- Walnut or white oak cabinetry + warm whites: A sculptural arc in brushed brass adds warmth and glow without competing for attention.
- Matte cabinet finishes + dark hardware: A matte black Kohler faucet provides crisp definition and a modern edge.
Small Upgrades, Big Payoff
Sometimes it’s the little details that bring soul to a space:
- In a bathroom add a hand wand in a shower for a bathroom upgrade.
- An in-counter air switch for the garbage disposal eliminates wall switch clutter.
- A matching hot water or filtered water dispenser ties the whole area together.
- A slim tray to corral soap and scrubbers creates a clean, styled vignette at the sink.
These details may seem small, but they contribute to the overall livability and luxury of the kitchen or bathroom.
Quick Faucet Selection Checklist
Before placing your order, walk through this quick list:
- How do you cook? Daily cooks benefit most from a pull-down faucet with multiple spray functions.
- Do you want a wall mounted to allow less space or more modern design?
- What’s your sink size and clearance? Measure carefully—especially if you have shelving or windows nearby.
- Which finish complements your kitchen design? Are you leaning toward polished nickel, brushed brass, or matte black?
- Do you want integrated accessories (soap dispenser, filtered water tap, air switch) in the same finish?
- Does the faucet silhouette echo other elements in your kitchen or adjacent spaces?
