Show Mom Your Appreciation With Upgraded Fixtures This Mother's Day!

Mom Will Love These New Kitchen and Bathroom Plumbing Fixtures

It’s not always easy to find a great Mother’s Day gift. After all, it has to be memorable, thoughtful, and - hopefully - even better than last year’s gift. Sometimes a good gift is useful and practical, and sometimes it can be something that just looks nice and brightens up the home. This year, why not give Mom both? Brand new faucets, sinks, and tubs can not only be beautiful and elegant, but they can also help conserve water and make cooking and cleaning easier. 

Whether it’s a complete makeover in one room, the entire house, or just updating one or two fixtures at a time, this is one gift that’s sure to put a smile on Mom’s face.

Fixtures for the Bathroom

Installing new faucets and sinks can make any bathroom more pleasant and easier on the eyes, but it can also have practical benefits. Low-flow faucets help save water; a new vanity-sink combo can add counter and cabinet space; a drop-in or trough sink makes cleaning easier; a modern vessel sink helps reduce the need to bend down so far for face-washing or toothbrushing.

A new and improved bathtub can turn an ordinary bathroom into a luxurious den of relaxation. Some moms may like the simplicity of a free-standing clawfoot or flat-bottom tub, while others may enjoy a spacious walk-in tub or a model with whirlpool jets to make her feel like she’s in her own private spa.

Fixtures for the Kitchen

Most modern faucets are water-saving models but compensate for the low flow rate by blending air with the water to boost the pressure. Many designs have a built-in hose nozzle, while other industrial-style faucets have a heavy-duty sprayer and a separate faucet for serious cleanup. Some models even have a motion sensor for touchless handwashing!

Mom may also be tired of that old, shallow, rust-stained sink basin. There are numerous styles of kitchen sink to choose from. Whether it’s drop-in, undermount, trough, dual-basin, or farmhouse-style, the whole family will love the extra space for washing dishes, rinsing veggies, and filling pots.

Does the Kitchen Need a Garbage Disposal?

Last but not least, a new garbage disposal is an excellent addition to any kitchen. A good disposal is a valuable tool for preventing clogs and nasty odors and making cleanup easier. In homes that don’t already have one, bits of food waste can escape down the drain, get stuck, and slowly decay, producing unpleasant smells. Even worse, they can obstruct the pipe completely. Some homes do have a removable mesh food catcher, but anyone who’s ever had to clean one of these knows it’s no fun.

Garbage disposals are highly effective at breaking down food waste into manageable morsels that can get accidentally washed down the drain. Still, even if the home already has one, it’s worth looking into an upgrade - most disposals have an average lifespan of around 10 years and tend to develop problems as they get older. Many newer models are quieter, more powerful, and more energy-efficient, without being terribly expensive.
