Modern Bathroom Faucets
When it comes to your bathroom, few things stand out as much as the faucet. A modern bathroom faucet is the perfect way to upgrade any bathroom for three reasons:
1) They are relatively low in cost compared to other bathroom fixtures.
2) They are reasonably easy to install.
3) Though small, they truly brighten up a bathroom when chosen properly.
Also, the faucet is a unique piece in that it is one of the few things that you actually touch with your hands while in the bathroom. This is something you will interact with multiple times a day, every single day. Choosing a well-designed, modern faucet can work wonders for you and your bathroom remodel.
When you head into the hardware store to choose a faucet, it can be quite daunting strolling through that faucet aisle with both sides absolutely packed with endless options of shiny bathroom faucets staring you down. Well, have no fear because we’re here to share our favorite modern bathroom faucets.
Different Types of Bathroom Faucets Explained
Touch Faucets
A faucet that can be turned on and off with a simple touch of the faucet itself without ever having to touch the handles. These usually include handles to adjust temperature and to use as a backup way to turn the faucet on.
Hands-Free Faucets

Pull-Down Sprayer Faucets
Pull-down sprayers include a detachable head to the faucet that can be pulled down off of the faucet. These are not typical in a bathroom but they do help with cleaning the sink when needed.

Centerset Faucets
Centerset faucets also only require one hole but have a lever on either side of the faucet. The levers and faucets are all connected by one base.
Widespread Faucets

Vessel Faucets
