A spring faucet would totally overwhelm your kitchen and be difficult to clean on top of that. It depends on what your budget for a faucet is. Is that The Galley sink? If so, why don't you go with The Galley Tap? Another huge front runner in the market right now are In2Aqua faucets. They are an incredible value for the quality.

Personally I think spring faucets look best in large islands with a large sink due to their larger profile. I have the same 30" Kraus workstation sink you are considering (which I LOVE) and I paired it with a Delta pull down faucet. My kitchen is not overly large either.

One more thing about spring faucets, @StarCraft Custom Builders is one of the leading reviewers of faucets (see their home website), and they have tested spring faucets and suggested that it is really only those with the higher arcs that function as intended. The spring faucets with lower arcs don't provide enough movement to reach all areas of the sink as desired or to swing back and forth sufficiently for spray functions. I forget the minimal height they recommended, but it was rather tall. You'll see that tall height with some of the Kohler spring faucets which are beautifully made but aren't getting the greatest of reviews right now due to the questionable "boost" technology that limits water flow and makes the faucets hard to operate on full pressure. Kohler's spring faucets feature removable springs for cleaning, but the reviews in general aren't favoring Kohler's new manufacturing and technology changes for their pro-style faucets.

Thanks for the responses. I like the look of that Delta faucet! Thanks for sharing the photo!

we have this one and its been flawless., going on 6 years

i also was considering the spring faucet but it was just too massive and i did not want to deal with the crud in the spring.

i hope u consider different cabinet hardware... so many nicer options and those 'catch' your clothes and have been around forever. and your floor is rustic so consider a more rustic pull/knob.

spring is too modern and needs a larger sink and kitchen to carry it.

just use a standard pull-down

is that flooring going through the entire house or just in the kitchen? I'd actually pick the one on the right because it's less busy. You need to see an entire space w/that left flooring choice. everything on top of it has to be subtle because the variation and movement are very strong.

Remember. they are pictures printed on those. those pics repeat. over and over.

a similar type of print.

your other choice, would be a little less busy, but still similar to this:

try something like this. It will work w/everything in the house.

Choose a faucet with a relatively high arc with hot/cold controls that you can move without grasping (no knob) . Separate hot and cold levers are better and you want to be able to turn each of them on and off with the back of your hand or even your wrist if your hands are sticky.

Recommend a deep double stainless steel sink -- wash and rinse with less splashing. Better for rinsing veggies as well as dishes.

OP mentioned sink has already been selected. @JoLynn Sundstrom please search out individual reviews of faucets in which you are interested. Amazon in particular is a valuable research tool for seeing what problems may occur with any particular style of faucet, and the Houzz forums also have many archived posts on different faucet experiences. Note that In2Aqua is one of the few that still manufactures pull-down faucets with metal heads. The Hansgrohe shown above has a plastic head, and they wear fine for a while, but the finish can ultimately present different wear patterns in time from plastic to metal. The idea with a plastic head is that it doesn't get as hot to irritate your hand when hot water is running, but some consumers prefer the durability of the all-metal construction.

Sounds good, thanks!

I guess it's very individual because I love the one handle faucets, much prefer them to the 2 handles. I had a Delta Leland in my previous home, loved it. We also had a double sink, and it was ok. In our remodel (to happen when non essential businesses can resume and we won't be so nervous about having people in our house) I just got the Delta Cassidy. Both are high arc one handle faucets. Also got a single bowl sink.Delta Cassidy

@Beth H. What flooring is used in that bottom photo?

Jo, I'm not sure which one that is. It's a LVP, yes?

Karndean Korlock:

Tx White Ash

CaliBamboo has similar looks.

cali vinyl pro, aged hickory.

pet proof too

Cali Vinyl Plus.

Natural Elm.

Mohawk LVP:

I think this one is Shaw

Coretec, Montrose Oak

LifeProof, Beacon Oak

I just think in the long run, you'd be happier w/a less busy-looking vinyl floor. remember, it isn't real wood. You get repeating patterns, not natural wood looking patterns like nature.

Thanks so much! I have been struggling with the flooring!

I do need an LVP as this is on a lake and people will come in with wet feet

A engineered wood floor designed for a semi-wet area like a kitchen would work as well and look more like wood (because it is wood).

Everything I would have said about your kitchen faucet has already been well said by others. That's what I get for being later to the party.

All I can add is that I don't think spring-style faucets necessarily overwhelm a small kitchen. My house if a 1908 Craftsman Four Square so the kitchen is not large (kind of medium-small-ish), and I had a spring style faucet for two years. It looked like it fit right in.

I loved it, my wife hated it. She wanted a pull-down. So we compromised. She got a pull-down and I got to ear at home.

Pay attention to Belaria. We don't agree on everything, but she is one hell of a product researcher and her conclusion are usually well thought out.

If you don't like the In2aqua, Delta is a good choice, but there are a fair number of good choices. Start with our 2019 Best Value Faucets report and work from there.

Good luck.

I like the Krause faucet that you posted. It's easy to clean!

I'll chime in as a happy Kohler Sensate user for the last four or so years. I wanted something with no lumps, bumps or creases to clean, and this wipes off with one quick swipe. The hands-free function has been flawless too.

A couple of other things to consider that I didn't see mentioned above. First, if you get a single handle, the wise folks on this forum suggest mounting it so the handle is facing you in the middle, rather than to the right, as is more common. If it's in the center, your wet hand will drip into the sink instead of onto the counter for less of a mess. We did this, and I'm very glad we did. Second, I also thought about the spray pattern after going to a fancy house where the fancy spray in the fancy kitchen was mostly useless because it spread out so widely. You could basically aim at a plate a foot away and the spray would go in a circle around the plate but not hit it at all; move the spray so one side would hit the plate and the other side would soak the counter. I saw the Sensate's blade spray in a video and found one hooked up in a store, which further sold me on it.

That's my sample of one (well, two, if you count the fancy kitchen).
