The Best Kitchen Faucets For Under $50

When it comes time to replace your kitchen faucet, there are many factors to consider. As Signature Hardware points out, one aspect you'll need to decide on is the faucet style. A standard widespread design has three holes — one for the spout and two for each of the handles. In comparison, a single-hole faucet contains one hole for the spout, which is where the handles are located. A bridge model has the water supplies visible on top of the counter while a center set features a three-hole design installed on a plate. If you're looking for upscale designs, you can also choose pot filler faucets, which are installed above the stove, or outdoor faucets that are installed, you guessed it, outside.

Once your basic style is decided, you'll need to dig a little deeper and think about the functionality of the faucet. Of course, a standard design has a spout and two handles. However, there are also pull-out and pull-down models. A spring-spout model leaves the hose exposed while a side spray comes with a separate sprayer. After you have the functions picked out, you'll need to decide on a color and finish. To do so, think about the aesthetic of your kitchen and find a color that naturally blends in. Finally, you must consider the price. If you're on a budget, here are some of the best kitchen faucets for under $50.
