The Convenience of Installing a Bar/Prep Faucet Big Benefits While Saving Space

Just like the perfect sidekick, a bar faucet is there when you need it. There is always a need for a helping hand in the kitchen, and a bar faucet is a great asset in the kitchen. We wanted to explore spaces in the home, where a bar faucet can be an additional resource.

Extra Space in the Kitchen

Though smaller compared to your average kitchen sink, installing a bar faucet will give you an additional workspace. You can install a bar faucet in your kitchen which will provide additional prep space to rinse off produce, or you can use it as a dirty dish station while cooking, to avoid cluttering your main sink or counter space. If you are hosting during the busy holiday season, having a second faucet in the kitchen provides an alternate location for people to wash their hands or a second wash station for the inevitable mountain of dirty dishes.

Added to a Small Space

Like many modern homeowners, you may have or may be thinking about converting a section of your house for short-term vacation rentals on sites like Airbnb, VRBO, or HomeAway for extra income. If your rental property has limited space there are space saving benefits to installing a bar faucet instead of a full-sized kitchen faucet. Bar faucets typically mimic the style of their full-sized counterpart but have the added benefit of being reduced in height and having a minimized footprint on counter space. When adding a faucet to the layout of a room, having smaller fixtures offers more design options.

Convenience in Another Room

Do you enjoy entertaining? Adding a bar faucet to a space like your living room, dining area, or rec room, adds functionality outside the kitchen. A bar/prep area allows you to entertain your guests, without having to leave the room and offers additional space for rinsing off glasses after use. It also gives your guests the convenience of helping themselves without having to hunt down the host or hostess. Having a great home bar will make entertaining easier.

Another room that may need a helping hand, but doesn’t have a lot of space, is the laundry room. Adding a faucet to a laundry room will give you added space for pre-soaking or handwashing clothes. Because of its reduced size, if your laundry room is a little cramped, adding a bar faucet won’t take up too much space.

Pfister offers a variety of bar faucets in different finishes and styles which will bring style and added function to your home.
