I have a wall mounted kitchen faucet by Herbeau in my powder room, and at our beachhouse we have a kitchen faucet that is mounted on the vintage integrated sink backsplash (the same plane as a wall).

I think of them as vintage-y.

My main tip would be: be careful if you have them on an outside wall, esp if you live in a cold climate and if the wall is North Facing.We had that in our old house, in the powder room too. Even with lots of insulation (done and redone), the pipes would freeze.

Jaclo is the only one I know of that has a pull down spray from a wall mount -- and looks sort of vintage-y. One just passed through eBay -- normally, let's say they aren't a budget choice. I know because maybe someday, a deck mount will come my way.

CAPeterson-
Do you like the look, or do you think it provides some functionality a regular kitchen faucet setup doesn't?

Also, you have to remember that, if you ever need to replace it, swapping out a deckmount faucet will be easier than a wall mount, and you won't have to worry about finding something that will work without possibly having to tear into the wall.

@mtnrdredux, those Herbeau faucets are beautiful! The faucet will be on an interior wall, so no worries on freezing. Our house was built in the 1920's so I like pulling in the vintagey vibe when it works!

@chesters_house- I've seen the Jaclo one worth the pull out sprayer. That would be ideal except I don't like the rubber? end on the Paul out. They have a wall mount faucet without a sprayer that is really beautiful.

@kudzu9, I like the look and I also think it will be easier to clean. We have an undermount silgranit sink to put in and I'd like to keep stuff on/attached to the counters to a minimal. If we have to replace it my husband can open the wall, that's not an issue.

I live in an old house, too, and really, really love the vintage look of wall-mounted faucets. I liked the idea of an easier-to-clean deck as well. I obsessed over this decision for a while and ended up going with a one handle deck mount with a spray. I figured that since the faucet is going to probably be the single most frequently used thing in my kitchen, I didn't want to compromise on modern functionality.

Your idea of deck mounting a separate spray sounds great - curious to hear if you get any examples.

One other thing to consider, if you go with a wall mount, is getting a tap master. I haven't used one but people rave about them here. It may overcome some of the inconvenience of a two handled faucet.

Very curious to hear what you decide!

Just wanted to mention the kohler hirise independent spayer. No personal experience but it has gotten a few mentions on here. I find the fact that it can be turned on and off separately intriguing.

Here is a link that might be useful: Kohler hirise independent side sprayer

I think if you rotate a full size sink and use a wall mount faucet, you may want to research the splash mechanics. Not sure, just a thought.

That Kohler hirise sprayer is beautiful!

I don't think we will turn the sink, but that's a novel idea if you are short on space!

had one in our first apartment. vintage single bowl sink w/ integrated splashback. loved it. faucet stays sooo much cleaner.

check out chicago faucets for excellent quality. workhorse line of faucets--they do commercial faucets--so not a 'stylish' choice--but real deal if you want an authentic vintagey look. not expensive, either.

(broke me wrist yesterday. excuse shorthand shortcut typing.)

CAP - glad you figured out the interior wall piece. I am seeing more wall mounts(especially BRs) at the stores.

Cilantro- oh no! Ouch Hope you don't need surgery
