Just remember that good quality tapware is EXPENSIVE and so is the plumber to change out the tap so go for the best you can afford - tapware will either make or break the look you're going for in terms of big ticket items. But go for what you want - infact take a sample of your benchtop and put it next to the tap and a stainless steel appliance in the Ikea showroom and have a look to decide for yourself - it all depends on personal taste.

if you can find a suitable wall tap that is the correct length to have the water fall nicely into the basin then one advantage is that the wall tap takes up less space on the counter and there's less pipes work inside the vanity but...first check out the taps and see which one you can't live without.... as long as the tap does the job you will get used to whichever you choose...one of our vanities had to have wall taps for various reasons and we had to choose a spout from one design and a mixer handle from another...looks good and works fine

An undermount stainless steel sink will match well with your brushed gold tap and white benchtop. Although different in colour, the sink and tap shared same kind of texture so It won't be distracting. Colour wise, the sink will match perfectly with your white benchtop. We got some photos of our customers who have used the same kind of design before, check out the link below if you would like to have a look. https://fontaineind.com.au/colette-kitchen-laundry-tap-mixer-brushed-gold https://fontaineind.com.au/ariella-kitchenlaundry-mixer-tap-brushed-gold
