FAB FUNCTIONALITY

A quick update can make all the difference

Pull-down mixer

The kitchen tap is a vital component. However, for all the colours, sizes and styles of tapware on the market, there is one that trumps them all – the pull-down sink mixer. This wondrous invention makes everything from cleaning big, bulky pots and pans to filling buckets a breeze, and you’ll only realise how life-changing it is once you’ve installed it. Serial renovator and interior stylist Carly Schulz admits, “In our last renovation I chose a more traditional mixer for the colour, and it wasn’t until we actually moved in and started using the kitchen that I realised how much I had relied on – and missed! – the spray lever.”
