Going Beyond the Basics: Unconventional Kitchen Tap and Sink Pairings

Black Kitchen Sink and Mixer

Bringing the most diverse and quality kitchen sink & kitchen tap products to the Australian market is our forte. All our ranges have been hand-picked from manufacturers who lead the world in the design, technology and production techniques. Our European brands include GESSI, Schock, Armando Vicario, Chambord and Barazza and our very own Abey and Gareth Ashton ranges make up our quality kitchen sink & tapware collection.

Finding a kitchen sink and tap that pushes the rules of function and aesthetics is easy with our extensive range of kitchen sink & tapware products. Incorporating the finest quality materials, they will create a design focal point for your kitchen. 

For an industrial inspired kitchen, the GESSI Officine Kitchen Tapware Collection combined with the Barazza R15 Kitchen Sink Collection is a match made in European design heaven. They are both designed for a commercial style aesthetic. The R15 Kitchen Sink Collection is manufactured from commercial grade 1mm thick 304 Stainless Steel. With a minimal radius bowl, it completes the industrial aesthetic.  The GESSI Officine Kitchen Collection is characterised by a highly innovative cut with a provocative “mechanical aesthetic” with evocative shapes of typical industrial tools that are an integral part of the product. In addition to this, they are also available in metallic industrial finishes such as copper brushed and black metal brushed.

A modern kitchen is one that has clean lines and a sleek uncluttered finish. It is also the perfect style to combine kitchen sinks and taps to create a focal point for the design. Choosing a Schock kitchen sink in a concrete finish with a brass kitchen mixer, like our Armando Vicario Urban D, will enhance the modern look but the brass finish will still add a little warmth to a modern kitchen space. 

The kitchen sink and tap packs in a provincial or Hampton inspired design are endless. Unconventionally, you can mix a modern tap with a provincial sink or visa versa. Teaming our Chambord Sinks such as a HENRI with a GESSI modern tap, such as the Proton, will blend beautifully. On the reverse side, teaming our stainless-steel Abey Lucia kitchen sink with an Armando Vicario Provincial tap, such as the PALAIS, will combine a modern functionality with a traditional look. 

Mixing up the metal finishes on your kitchen sink and tapware packs is also another design option. For instance, choosing a stainless-steel kitchen sink with a brass or black kitchen tap. This combination will add a visual interest to your design. We also have a range of kitchen tapware that is two-toned. For instance, the Gareth Ashton Industrial 7K2-BBN has a black frame with a brushed nickel spout and handle. 

For all your kitchen sink and tapware options, call into one of our Abey Selection Galleries. One of our specialists will take you through your options and you will also have the ability to “try before you buy” with our working tapware displays.
