When we remodel or update our bathroom, the sink faucet may seem like a minor detail... until we use it daily. It's one of the most functional and visible elements in the space, and its choice can make a difference in both comfort and style .
In this article, we explain how to choose the best sink faucet for your bathroom, based on the type of handle, design , and functionality . We also present some options from our trusted brands at MerkiMarket , such as IMEX , TRES , and Unisan , recognized for their quality, aesthetics, and durability.
What type of sink faucet do you need?
Single-lever basin taps
These are the most commonly used faucets in modern bathrooms . With a single control, you can control both the flow rate and the water temperature. They are characterized by their clean design and ease of use.

At MerkiMarket we recommend:

This type of faucet has two separate controls, one for hot water and one for cold water. They're perfect for bathrooms with a vintage, classic, or rustic look , although modern models with this configuration also exist.
Advantages:
- ✔ More precise temperature control

Tips for choosing the right sink faucet
- Sink type: Choose a faucet that matches the height and design of your sink. If it's countertop, you'll need a taller or wall-mounted faucet.
- Decorating style: Matte black, white, gold, chrome… The finish should complement the rest of the bathroom elements.
- Water savings: Look for models with aerators or flow limiters. Many modern faucets, such as those from TRES, are designed to reduce consumption without sacrificing comfort.
- Installation and maintenance: Some models, such as those from IMEX, include quick-installation kits and are made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion.
