Are pot filler taps the next big thing in kitchen design?

pot filler tap ideas

Looking to improve the practicality factor of your kitchen? A pot filler tap can help make everyday cooking a breeze – not to mention it’s oh-so-stylish, too.

The pot filler tap is one of my favourite micro kitchen trends for 2025, and I’m not alone in feeling this way…

Richard Moore, creative director at Martin Moore, says he’s also noticed an increase in interest from homeowners. As has Richard Davonport, managing director at Davonport, who says, “Pot fillers have rapidly gained popularity, especially in large, luxury kitchens. While they can be seen by some to be an unnecessary luxury, they can be a gamechanger for those who love to cook.”

Why you should have a pot filler tap

Available in various finishes and styles, they seamlessly integrate into your kitchen’s design. Typically, they feature a long, swing-out arm that can be positioned over the cooking surface to deliver water directly into pots or pans without the need to carry them to or from the sink. There’s less chance of any spillage, so, in terms of safety, they are perfect for families with young children or multi-generational homes.

But pot filler taps are not just for kitchens – they make a great addition to a utility room, for example, since you can effortlessly fill large watering cans and vases.

So, if you live in a busy family home or you are serious about cooking, they should definitely be on your wishlist.
