Don’t get us wrong, the kitchen’s always been the heart of the home. But in the last 20 years, the sitting room has dominated public conversations and product catalogues, with kitchen gadgets and appliances falling by the wayside.
But the tipping point’s come and gone. Since the pandemic, the kitchen’s made an incredible comeback, quickly becoming the most talked about room in the house. Interior designers, showroom curators, and end users alike are entertaining new ways of creating the perfect luxury kitchen, with special emphasis on more communal and sociable spaces.
In particular, we're seeing more experimenting with a range of mixed metals like copper, bronze, nickel, brass, chrome, and brushed gold. This natural collection of colours adds an extra layer of texture to the kitchen and just the right amount of vintage charm.

For us, though, there's no better way to steal the spotlight and make a statement than with a brushed gold kitchen tap – the ultimate, must-have appliance of 2024.
When you add a gold finish to an all-in-one tap system, offering 5-in-1 functionality for filtered boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, as well as mains hot and cold, then you're making a statement about your kitchen... without saying anything at all.
Even the most mundane daily tasks – making a cup of tea, filling up a water bottle, doing the dishes – become a luxurious experience to enjoy. Not to mention quick and easy.
And because of its eye-catching appeal, a gold kitchen tap is also a brilliant conversation starter. When guests come over for dinner, they'll know you take pride in your kitchen and its significance within your home.
Made from the highest quality materials available, HydroTap is beautifully built to last. So why choose a finish that doesn't?
