Looking for the perfect tap for your kitchen? From mono mixers to wall-mounted designs, we've selected our pick of the best kitchen taps around

When it comes to kitchen taps, there are so many different designs to choose from that it can be a complicated decision.  Mono mixers include one single faucet so they look sleek in contemporary spaces. There are many different variations of these taps on the market - for example a professional kitchen tap which has a 360 degree  spout and pull-out spray attachment. If you're after a more traditional look, go for a design with separate hot and cold taps and a wide spout. Short on space?
