A Brushed Nickel Faucet
If you’re choosing a new set of faucets for the kitchen and aren’t particularly keen to install shiny stainless steel units, you may prefer to go with the more muted option of a brushed nickel faucet. You might find that the duller option suits your other style choices more fully and gives you the opportunity to spotlight a different part of the kitchen.
If the kitchen sink you have chosen is not a bright shiny affair, sticking a faucet that looks overly shiny would look completely out of place. This is where the brushed nickel faucet option would be more suitable. It will complement the sink you choose from a white ceramic finish to a matching brushed nickel sink.
There are a few benefits you get from using brushed nickel faucets and they mainly have to do with the lower amount of maintenance that will be required to keep them clean once you’ve begun using your kitchen. Due to the matt finish of the faucets any smudges or fingerprints that you may get on shiny surfaces will not show up as readily on the brushed nickel surface.
If the faucets do become stained with some kind of soap scum or water stain, an effective way of cleaning them is to dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and wiping the faucet clean. You should find that any stain is quickly removed.

The range of types of brushed nickel faucets is as varied as other faucets so you won’t be narrowing down your choices because you want to get this type. All major manufacturers stock them in either one handle or two handle configurations. If you want a lever style that is reminiscent of the old world style of faucets they are available as are the contemporary styles and designer faucets.
How you match your faucets to your sink is a matter of personal taste and style. It would be perfectly okay to put brushed nickel faucets over a stainless steel sink. However the result would probably look as if one or the other was out of place. You don’t want to draw the eye to an area of the kitchen because something looks like it doesn’t belong.
Make sure you spend plenty of time browsing the kitchen showrooms and take your choice in faucet with you as you walk the showroom floor. Holding the faucet up over each sink that takes your eye will ensure that you will come up with a combination that will look suitable.
