Matching a faucet to the Kohler Whitehaven sink

10 years ago

I thought picking a faucet for my sink was one of the hardest things to do. There is such a huge selection of faucets but there wasn't anywhere that I could try how the faucet worked.

The reach was really important to me. We ended up with a Hansgrohe Allegro E (see the link for the exact model). It is working very well with our 36" Whitehaven tall apron sink. There is some splashing on the countertop behind the sink but nowhere else.

I am still getting used to how big it looks.

What did you choose and how is it working for you?

Donaleen, I love your faucet with the Whitehaven. What a great pair.

I chose a Waterstone. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it but what was a deal clincher was the ability to try it in the show room. I can't speak to how it works as it won't be installed for a week or so.

When I was researching sinks I read that some had issues with water splashing in the Whitehaven but I figured any sink could have splashing depending on where the water stream hits the sink.

I will update when I have it in use for a bit.

What I meant is I can't speak as to how the faucet works with the Whitehaven. I know it worked great with the display sink.

I am getting the whitehaven sink also and I am having a very difficult time deciding on a faucet. I want one lever facing front so my drips go in the sink. My sink is in my island and I do not have a backsplash.

I would love to know what faucets people got to go with their sink also!

Cooking, I guess the Brizo couldn't have the lever front mounted? That is how I am going to have mine set up also. I will have to get back on line and see what I can find for you. What style are you going for?

Ideally I would like a stainless high arc( but not too high since it's on my island, not against the wall), one lever facing front traditional/vintage-looking faucet. I am getting the 36" whitehaven and I know that is wide so I need to have the spout far enough into the sink.

Thanks for any ideas you can give me! It is overwhelming!
