8 inch wide spread

For the traditional look that you have chosen the wide spread faucet looks best.......If you were going with a contemporary look than the center set would work well.....

having had both, I would never go back to a center set. The wide set is not only beautiful, it is easy to keep clean, with no little crevices to capture gunge.

I second what Helen said, and up it a notch: wall mount! Except for the Kohler faucet in the kitchen, I am doing all wall mount faucets in our new build.

I also vote wide set. I am averse to wall mount faucets for 1 reason: leaks. I've had multiple bath faucet leaks in houses over the years. The thought of it leaking inside the wall & the trouble to get to it to repair or replace is too much for me.

My preference.

Same thing for if the bathroom has dual sinks? Go with a wide spread? Thanks.

Typically we use widespread in our designs:
