Vanity Pic - please help select a faucet

vwhippiechick

We are doing a guest bath simple update - new floor, paint, vanity, faucet, accessories. The tub and toilet stay and are cream colored. The new floor is Noce Premium Travertine from Lowe's. You can see the paint and floor colors in the pic of the vanity. (The bath is just off the hallway from the kitchen and the floor and paint are the same) I need opinions on faucet selection. Please help. Which one goes with the style of the vanity. (The vanity top is cream marble with some mild veining) Our home is an 1800's farmhouse and I like to use items with a classic feel. I like all of these faucets and the difference in price is not that significant.

    I personally like the 2nd one down, but that's because I prefer lever handles. For your "farmhouse" I'd probably go with #3 because it's classic looking with a cool snouty spout.

    I would rate them just as you have them shown. 1st one goes best - a bit delicate like the vanity and seems to be the right proportions. 2nd one is also good with your vanity but a bit chunkier and a bit more masculine (but not in a bad way). 3rd one (was my fave when we were looking) has too much going on and I think will fight with the other elements. 4th is too modern and masculine to go with the rounder lines of the vanity.

    I don't think you could go wrong with 1 or 2. I went with the cross handles cause I love the look, but when I'm cleaning them, I really wish I'd gone for the levers.

    I like the second one best, as others said I prefer the lever handles. But also I am concerned that the spout on the first one is too long for the sink shown - it looks that way in the photo, and of course, without measurements given, for both the sink and the spout, it's hard to know for sure. I think the third faucet is too fussy, and the fourth is too modern and crisp-cut (clashes with the vanity which has a lot of rounded touches).

    I really don't like lever handles so Im sort of biased but I think the first one is most suited for the room you describe. But they are all lovely.

    I vote for either 1 or 3 with number 3 my favorite. Love the vanity. Can't wait to see it complete.

    Another question -
    both faucets #1 and #3 have the white porcelain insets for "hot" and "cold" Will this look okay with my cream marble vanity top?

    #1 or # 3 are your best fits for the theme look, other twoo look too modern for your vanity style. I would think your sink is white?
    Would not worry about white inserts. It just gives a right amount of clean feel to it. Just my two cents.

    I like the 2nd big photo. The shape of the spout is what I am drawn to. It seems to go with the shape of the design on the vanity.

    I would go with #1 or #3. I think they match the look of your vanity while the other two are more modern and masculine. I also think the white topped 'hot' and 'cold' handles will tie in with your sink color which appears to be white from what I can see.

    Might I ask where you found your vanity?

    #3 'cos I like the spout!

    Number three gets my vote too. A beautiful faucet for a beautiful vanity.

    If you're really concerned about the white H and C on the handles, try checking with the supplier. Those caps should just screw off and sometimes they'll give you the option of having caps that match the finish of the rest of the faucet.

    Another vote for #3. The first spout is too long for the sink, the second and third aren't the right style IMO.

    I like #2, clean simple lines, lets the cabinet take the spot light. I prefer levers but that is not why I chose #2, I think the others are to over done yet they are still beautiful and they would call attention to themselves versus the cabinet. You also want them to work with the other hardware in the room.

    I think that #1 would look best with the vanity.
