Choosing the Right Finish
Finish selection plays a major role in defining your kitchen’s style. Lucent offers a curated palette designed to work across cabinetry, appliances, and hardware.
Popular choices include:
- Brushed Gold — warm, refined, and luxurious
- Matte Black — bold and contemporary
- Gunmetal — understated and architectural
- Brushed Nickel — subtle, modern, and versatile
All Lucent finishes are applied using premium PVD technology, offering superior resistance to wear, corrosion, and fading, particularly important in Australian kitchens.
Design That Works With Your Lifestyle
Beyond aesthetics, a kitchen mixer should suit how you live. Consider:
- Spout height & reach: Higher spouts work well for large sinks; compact profiles suit smaller kitchens.
- Handle design: Slim pin levers for modern spaces or soft curves for classic interiors.
- Water efficiency: Lucent mixers are designed with WELS-rated flow control to reduce water usage without compromising pressure.
- Lead-free construction: Safer for drinking water and compliant with upcoming Australian standards.
Lucent’s commitment to precision engineering ensures every mixer performs smoothly, year after year.
Coordinating Your Kitchen With the Rest of the Home
A cohesive interior design often extends finishes across multiple rooms. Lucent makes this seamless by offering matching mixers and tapware across:
This allows you to maintain a consistent design language, whether you choose one finish throughout or layer complementary metals across spaces.
