wall mount faucet, can you still have deck mount soap dispenser?

5 years ago

With our master bath remodel, I am *really* looking forward to having pretty much nothing on the counters save faucets, integrated soap dispensers, and a filtered water faucet (on only one sink). I am in bliss looking at photos of + planning for maximized, designated, enclosed storage. Be still my heart.

My husband just told me he'd really like a wall mounted faucet and I agree -- love the look. But I have been poring over wall mount faucet images both here and elsewhere online and I can find tons of images with nothing on the counters:

wall mount faucets, nothing on countertops, not even handsoap(!), but hello empty space ...

Or with decorative soap dishes or bottles:

at least these folks wash their hands

But nothing like what I'd initially thought of: deck mount soap dispensers and (one) filtered water faucet (admittedly, it's a stretch to expect to see that in anything other a kitchen).

integrated soap dispenser on bathroom sink

kitchen with deck mount soap dispenser, faucet, filtered water / insta-hot faucet

My goal is a pure white countertop with white undermount sink, polished chrome very, very simple fittings (no fancy ridges to make it difficult for me to clean!).

I'd love to borrow others minds' eyes -- do you think a wall mounted single lever faucet (so two holes -- one for the faucet and one for the lever) over a sink with an integrated soap dispenser will make no visual sense, or could it work?

Thank you.

I have no experience with it, but am getting marble tops too so thinking about the same issues. How does it attach to the wall? Just looked up wall mounted dispensers and most people seem to like them. But I couldn't find out how they attach. Because I hate drips on the counter, I would think about the drips you will have as you put your hand back to pump the soap, and then the splashes on the mirror/wall/BS/whatever that is just behind the dispenser. But with wall mounted faucets this would probably look good and be a good option.

Hi Susan, A boxed pedestal could be very elegant and with hidden hinges you shouldn't have to worry about access. Schluter Systems also has a "hidden panel" hardware set which uses rare metal magnets. As an alternative, you could clad the whole thing with tile instead of wood, for a more durable finish. With the increased dimensions of porcelain tiles, it shouldn't be a problem at all finding a quality porcelain which is available in 24" tall single pieces if you don't like the element of grout joints. Four pieces of tile for the sides and a nicely fabricated architectural piece of stone for the top. For a different twist, how about a floating shelf on the wall and the plumbing worked into that? Such a shelf might allow you an even broader range of fixtures to choose from, which might help your budget a little? I think a shelf like this might need a couple L-brackets in the wall for support but those can be very easily hidden under sheet rock and in the interior of the shelf. Best of luck, Shaughnn

Do You Like Your Deck Mounted Soap Dispensers?

Enduring, I would think about two. One for lotion, one for soap. But, I forgot, is this your Master bath, or a guest one? Unfortunately, for a guest one, you may have the eternal problem of having to explain which is which, or letting each guest experiment each visit... I actually bought our kitchen sink one from HD. I had gone there intending to buy one to match our Blanco Rados faucet, and the sales guy actually talked me into purchasing the no-name $14 one hanging on a rack. We've had it for 7 years (CANNOT believe our kitchen reno is 7 years old!), only clogged once, and DH took it all apart and cleaned out the gook...took me awhile to stop reefing on that poor ol' spout that was no longer plugged! So, the point of my post is that you don't necessarily need to spend the big bucks to find a dispenser that will work well and look good. (The NN one from HD looked very much like the Blanco one that cost 10X more!) Old pic showing soap dispenser:

where is your soap dispenser mounted?

Depending on the size of your sink cutout, you may actually not have a lot of options! :>) We managed to squeeze ours into the far left corner (of the bigger sink), but between DH and the installer, they had to cut some of the plywood counter support and sink base out to fit it in. Luckily the spout on our dispenser is nice and long, so it still reaches into sink. Definitely play with a paper or cardboard template aka Francy, and figure it out ahead of time. Our installer was very generous with his time to help us out, but that may not always be the case with everyone.
