What type of tap suits a butler sink?

A bright farmhouse kitchen with a white butler sink set into a wooden worktop, a brass bridge tap and a window above.

The answer

It depends on the look and the sink. Pillar taps give a traditional style, monobloc mixers are simple and tidy, bridge mixers combine a classic look with mixed flow, and wall-mounted taps keep the worktop clear. Whatever you choose, check the spout reach and height against your bowl, the hole arrangement, and whether the tap body clashes with an overflow slot. Choosing the tap at the same time as the sink avoids most compatibility problems.
