Statement Kitchen Mixer Tap by Dorf from GWA

Statement tapware trend brings artistic vibe to the hub of the home

Bold tapware has become the new artwork for kitchen spaces, as thoughtful design and modern living continue to reshape the traditional role of the kitchen as the new place to eat, entertain and relax.

This evolution has seen stylish homeowners, interior designers and architects seeking to infuse their creative kitchen space with expressive and visual tapware, with black emerging as a progressively popular preference.

Marylou Paino, trend forecaster and interior designer at CM Design, explains "Dorf's Inca Sink Mixer is the new kitchen conversation starter. Over the past few years in particular, we've seen an increasing demand for functional yet artistic tapware, which fits this profile or idea of the kitchen as the new living space."

"The trend has seen this distinctive intersection of art and technology - such a productive and energetic area of the home commands high-use features, like tapware, to complement the overall design vision, while delivering premier performance and resilience."
