^ This is for the bathroom, not the kitchen ^

SORRY ALL.....I FORGOT TO MENTION...THIS IS FOR BATHROOM NOT THE KITCHEN :) :)

Personally, I really dislike the first one. The second one is much nicer, depending upon the other fittings in the bathroom (i.e. shower fittings, bath spout, towel and toilet toll holders, etc).

I wouldn't want to be the one cleaning toothpaste off the first tap. I also prefer the clean, utilitarian look of the second one. As haephestus says, it's much easier to match it with towel racks and other fittings than the wiry one.

2nd one for all he above reasons ;)

Thank you all.....It's for a main bathroom that will only get used when we have visitors over....so it's more of a show bathroom.

The 1st tap cost a fortune! So happy to hear that it's not liked by a lot :)

We will be having 4 bathrooms...Let the headache begin!!!!!

Let us know how you get on with the project. I will try and pop in and help with anything else you need advice on. Good luck.

Aww thanks :) Going tomorrow to look at Hans Grohe, Kohler and Sussex tapware for the bathroom...Hopefully I will like something out there! :)

I like the first one. It is different and I am a person that likes things that are different to what everyone, else, seems to like. It is just the way, I am. I do think the practical advise from the others is good advise and it makes sense. I hope you found something nice.
