Multi-Room Plumbing Fixture Collections

last year

Looking for what feels like a needle in a haystack in what should be easy! I am building anew home so the opportunity for across the board consistency in some aspects is available. One I would like to implement is a consistent brand and collection for bathroom and kitchen plumbing (sink faucet, shower heads/system, kitchen faucet, etc.). Doing this would provide all the same curves/angles (e.g., diameters for spouts), corner types (e.g., square, rounded square), handle / knob types and other features. In an ideal world the towel rods, robe hooks, door handles, lighting and other items would be party of the collection as well, but that seems very unavailable! Does anyone have recommendations for kitchen and bath plumbing fixture collections?

Couple addition considerations

Home is ~$1MM so looking for middle of the road (not luxury and not cheap)
Design theme is organic/industrial so minimalistic yet warm/cozy
intend to have matte black in a couple areas and champagne bronze (or similar) in some areas

Thank you!

Delta/Brizo and several other plumbing companies should have what you want.

I used Brizo for all my bathrooms, but some other brands had styles I liked better for the kitchen, like Kohler. I also used some other brands in the bathrooms that make a better product than Brizo offered, like Speakman for shower heads and Jaclo for the handheld shower bar.

Stay out of big box stores if you want to see a larger selection of brands. Find your local plumbing showrooms. I don't live in a major metro area and even my area has three mid/high end plumbing showrooms.

Chispa- thank you. Because of what your mentioned - better product - am trending away from singularity of brand for entire rooms.

However, you can use a unique style in each room that doesn’t have to match other rooms. Why would I care what fixtures are in the bathroom while enjoying the kitchen?

Valinta, agreed and that seems to be the answer. However, for my taste/preference - if it was available - having tremendous (probably over the top) consistency in style and color throughout my home would meet my liking. Thanks for your thoughts and reply.

"door handles, lighting and other items would be party of the collection as well"

Nope, but the Schlage Broadway in black would go with either IMO.

Note that you can use a manufacturer's Collection as a starting point for design but there are often similar products that cost much less. For example the Delta Trinsic Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet is $663 but the similar Delta Nicoli Pull Down Kitchen Faucet is $314 in the same Champaign Bronze finish.

And would anyone notice if you installed this Delta Nicoli 1.2 GPM Single Hole Bathroom Faucet ($222) instead of the Delta Trinsic 1.2 GPM Single Hole Bathroom Faucet ($424)?

Whatever you do, the faucet and the sink have to be matching brands :-)

John Liu: "Whatever you do, the faucet and the sink have to be matching brands :-)"

Why? One of the most common kitchen sink manufacturers, Ruvati doesn't even manufacture faucets. Others such as Elkay and Blanco offer far fewer than plumbing manufacturers such as Delta, Moen and Kohler.

@wdccruise, John Liu was joking…adding on to the OP’s obsession with having a suite of plumbing fixtures throughout the house.

The fact is, like with kitchen appliances, no one brand excels across all aspects of plumbing fixtures. Some brands make great faucets, but their shower mixing valves are not. That’s just one example.

Most brands mimic each other and everyone follows trends, so it is not too hard to find multiple brands where the pieces might not look like identical twins but will certainly seem like sisters from the same family. So much so that from room to room most people would not be able to tell that they are not the same thing.

The problem with collections is that some proportions that work well for a faucet do not look right when translated into a towel rod. Therefore, you can often have much more eye pleasing parts to the whole when you do mix and match between companies.

I ended up mixing and matching brands within the same room because someone made a bathrobe hook with better dimensions than another hook made by the same company that made the toilet paper holder and a different one made a better faucet. Still, they all look like part of the same collection.
