Which sink tap ?

I have a new brushed steel sink but not yet got a mixer tap. Would shiny steel/chrome tap look out of place with the sink ? I can't find a tap I liked in a brushed effect and it is to late to return the sink.

    We have chrome taps with stainless steel sinks and they look great. I'd go for it!

    No problems with this at all, it's very rare for a sink and tap to match exactly anyhows...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Type franke in ebay, there are some nice brushed taps on there. Having just had new large chrome taps in my bathroom, I think a shiny tap in the kitchen with constant use would drive me mad.

    Just make sure it's the pull out type. Rinse the drainer, fill tall containers and for generally swishing away anything in the sink.

    Hi i personally like everything to match so would say brushed but without seeing it, it is hard to say..i'm sure chrome would look nice too as only a small part of it.

    Mutter i have just posted about a sink we are getting and cannot make my mind up over the 2 diff taps..one is a pull out..would you reccomend this then? have to say i hadn't thought of the uses for it which make me like it even more!
