The kitchen is often the heart of the home—and one of the most rewarding spaces to upgrade. Whether you're cooking, hosting, or just grabbing a glass of water, the right fixtures can make everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable. This fall, we’re focusing on smart, sustainable upgrades that deliver performance, style, and value.
Focus on the Faucet
If you only upgrade one thing in your kitchen, make it the faucet. A high-arc pull-down faucet with features like ShieldSpray™ and MagnaTite® docking can completely change how you use your sink. These technologies offer better control, cleaner rinsing, and easier maneuverability. Look for finishes like SpotShield™ Brushed Nickel or Matte Black to resist fingerprints and water spots—especially helpful in busy kitchens. Recertified faucets from Mintera come inspected, manufacturer-backed, and ready to install. You get premium performance at a fraction of the cost, with no compromise on quality.
Pair It with the Right Sink
A faucet upgrade is even more impactful when paired with a sink that fits your space and workflow. Consider a deep basin for soaking pots, or a dual-bowl layout for multitasking. Kraus offers a range of recertified stainless steel and granite composite sinks that combine durability with sleek design.
Make sure to check the hole configuration and dimensions to ensure compatibility with your faucet. Mintera’s product specs make it easy to match components and build a cohesive setup.
Coordinate for a Clean Look
Matching your faucet and sink with accessories like soap dispensers, air gaps, and drain kits creates a unified look that feels intentional. Coordinated finishes help tie the space together, whether you’re going for a modern monochrome or a warm, transitional style. This is where small details make a big difference. A consistent finish across fixtures adds polish and makes your kitchen feel professionally designed—even if you installed it yourself.
Think Tech and Touch
Touch2O® technology is a game-changer for busy kitchens. With just a tap, you can turn the water on or off—perfect for messy hands or multitasking. It’s also a water-saving feature, helping you avoid leaving the faucet running unnecessarily. Recertified Touch2O® faucets offer the same smart functionality as new models, with the added benefit of sustainability. You’re extending the life of a perfectly good product and reducing waste in the process.
