Why Put Phoenix Taps on Your Renovation List?
Phoenix stands apart from the crowd. Here’s what makes them a strong contender for your project:
Design Forward Thinking
Phoenix doesn't just chase trends; they help shape them. Look through their collections and you'll see a real understanding of modern looks, classic shapes, and user-friendly design. Dreaming of a sleek minimalist bathroom? A cosy traditional kitchen? Something boldly different? Phoenix likely has a range that clicks with your vision.
Built to Last
Durability isn't an afterthought; it's central. Phoenix relies on top-notch materials, like solid brass for many core products, combined with precise manufacturing. The result? Taps that feel substantial, operate smoothly, and handle the rigours of daily life for many years. They stand behind this with solid warranties, giving you confidence in your choice.
Water Saving Smarts
Australia values its water, and Phoenix gets it. Many of their products feature water-saving technology that cuts down consumption without sacrificing that satisfying water pressure. Check the WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) ratings on their products – it’s an easy way to find options that help manage water use and could trim your bills.
Genuine Innovation
Phoenix is always looking for ways to improve. Think advanced ceramic disc cartridges for pinpoint water control, or pioneering new finishes offering better resilience and fresh style options. They invest in research and development, constantly refining their products to be better performing, easier to live with, and more desirable.
A Tap for Every Spot
The variety within the Phoenix range is truly impressive. They genuinely cover almost every spot in the house that needs water delivery.

Let’s dive into the specific types of Phoenix taps you can find at The Blue Space, and see how they fit different needs around your home.
Phoenix Bathroom Basin Taps: Where Style Meets Everyday Use
The bathroom sink area is often a visual anchor. The tap chosen here really sets the tone. Phoenix offers a great mix of bathroom basin taps, designed for different basin styles and personal tastes.
Basin Mixers: The Popular Choice
Basin mixers are the go-to for most bathrooms today. They cleverly blend hot and cold water through one lever or handle, making temperature adjustments simple. Phoenix creates mixers in many styles, from ultra-modern and streamlined to designs with a more classic feel. These are ideal for standard basins drilled with a single tap hole.
Tall Basin Mixers: For Above-Counter Basins
Got a vessel basin sitting proudly on your vanity? You'll need a tall basin mixer. Also known as high-rise or vessel mixers, these have extra height. This ensures the spout reaches comfortably over the basin edge, giving you plenty of room for washing your hands. Phoenix makes sure to offer tall versions in many of their key ranges, so your design stays consistent.
Basin Spouts: Part of a Three-Piece Set
Perhaps you prefer the traditional look of separate hot and cold taps. In that case, you'll pair them with a distinct basin spout. Phoenix designs elegant spouts that match their handle styles, creating a balanced look for basins needing three holes.
Three-Piece Basin Sets: Classic Charm
For bathrooms aiming for a timeless or heritage vibe, three-piece basin sets are perfect. They feature separate hot and cold handles positioned alongside a central spout. Phoenix crafts beautiful options in this setup, notably within collections like Nostalgia, bringing authentic period charm.
Phoenix Shower and Bath Taps: Crafting Your Personal Retreat
Your shower and bath area should be a haven. Phoenix bathroom taps and mixers are built to perform reliably while making your bathing or showering experience better.
Shower & Bath Mixers: Streamlined Control
These hard-working units manage the water for your shower, and often the bath too if it's a diverter model. Shower and bath mixers give you easy control over temperature and flow from a single point. Phoenix provides options both with and without diverters, so you can switch water flow between the shower head and the bath spout easily.
Three-Piece Shower Sets: Traditional Touch
Similar to the basin versions, three-piece shower sets offer separate hot and cold controls specifically for the shower. They often fit beautifully into more traditional bathroom designs.
Wall Mixers (for Basin and Bath): Clean and Contemporary
Want a really clean, uncluttered look? Wall mixers are mounted directly onto the wall above your basin or bath. This keeps your countertop or bath hob clear. Phoenix produces stylish wall mixer sets, usually including the backplate and handle. Just remember, these require your plumber to set up the pipework inside the wall early in the build or renovation.
Wall Top Assemblies: Flexible Wall Mounting
For a three-piece arrangement mounted on the wall, wall top assemblies provide the hot and cold handle controls. You then pair these with a separate wall-mounted spout – either for a basin or a bath. Phoenix offers these components, enabling versatile setups like complete 3-piece wall basin/bath sets.
Bath Fillers & Spouts: Filling the Tub
Getting water into the bath needs the right hardware. Phoenix supplies complete bath fillers (often integrated sets with controls) and also individual bath tub spouts in different lengths and designs. A practical thought? Consider a swivel bath spout. It lets you push the spout aside once the bath is full, keeping it out of the way.
Freestanding Bath Mixers: Making a Statement
There's no denying the visual impact of a freestanding bath. The perfect partner? A floor-mounted mixer. Freestanding bath mixers from Phoenix often come with a convenient hand shower attachment too. They look spectacular but do need plumbing planned in the floor.
Three-Piece Bath Sets: For Built-In Baths
If you have a built-in bath with a tiled hob surround, three-piece bath sets are a classic solution. These provide separate controls and a spout, all mounted on the hob. Phoenix ensures the designs match their other ranges for consistency.
Hob Mixers: Another Hob-Mounted Option
As an alternative for bath surrounds, hob mixers mount a single control unit on the hob, managing both temperature and flow. This is then paired with a separate spout, also mounted on the hob.
Phoenix Kitchen Taps: The Workhorse of Your Culinary Hub
Let's be honest, the kitchen tap probably gets used more than any other tap in the house. Phoenix kitchen taps are designed tough to handle this constant use, while also packing in features that make kitchen chores that bit easier.
Sink Mixers: The Modern Standard
Almost universal in kitchens today, sink mixers give you that handy single-lever control for water flow and temperature. Phoenix has a huge selection, ranging from straightforward and functional designs to real statement pieces.
Classical Sink Mixers: Heritage Kitchen Style
Designing a kitchen with a traditional or country feel? Classical sink mixers, like those in the Phoenix Nostalgia range, beautifully capture period details and add undeniable charm.
Pull-Out/Pull-Down Sink Mixers: Ultimate Convenience
These are incredibly popular for a reason. Pull-out or pull-down sink mixers have a spray head that you can pull out on a flexible hose. Rinsing veggies, cleaning big pots, or just spraying down the sink becomes so much easier. Phoenix cleverly integrates this function into many of their stylish tap designs.
Gooseneck Sink Mixers: Height and Elegance
Instantly recognisable by their high, curved spout, gooseneck sink mixers offer fantastic clearance. Filling tall stockpots or vases is no problem. Phoenix offers these graceful taps in various styles, blending good looks with practicality.
Electronic Sensor Sink Mixers: Touch-Free Operation
For top-level hygiene and sheer convenience, look at electronic sensor sink mixers. Just wave your hand near the sensor, and the water flows. Wave again to turn it off. It's brilliant when your hands are messy. Phoenix incorporates reliable sensor technology into sophisticated tap bodies.
Pot Filler Taps: A Cook's Best Friend
Serious home cooks love these. Pot filler taps are usually mounted on the wall near your cooktop. They have articulated arms that swing out over the stove, letting you fill large pots right where they sit. No more lugging heavy, water-filled pots from the sink! Phoenix offers robust and stylish options.
Alfresco Taps: Built for the Outdoors
Planning an outdoor kitchen or BBQ area? You need taps that can handle the elements. Phoenix taps designed for alfresco use often feature tougher materials like 316 marine-grade stainless steel. This offers superior protection against corrosion.
Three-Piece Sink Sets: Traditional Configuration
While less common these days, three-piece sink sets with separate hot/cold handles and a central spout are still available. They suit particular traditional kitchen styles or specific sink setups.
Phoenix Laundry Taps: Reliable and Ready for Work
Even the laundry deserves decent, dependable tapware. Phoenix laundry taps are all about function and durability.
Washing Machine Sets: Essential Connections
These crucial fittings give you secure points to connect your washing machine hoses. They usually have individual shut-off taps (stops or cocks) for both hot and cold water. Phoenix washing machine sets are built tough for reliable service. Often, they even match the look of Phoenix bathroom ranges, helping you keep a consistent style throughout your home. You can also find combination sets that include a spout for filling the laundry tub.
Thinking Outside the Box: Specialised Phoenix Taps
Phoenix also addresses specific requirements and modern concerns:
Lead-Free Taps: For Healthier Water
Health is always a priority. Phoenix offers a growing selection of lead-free taps. These are made from materials containing extremely low or zero lead, contributing to safer drinking water straight from the tap.
Accessible Taps: Designed for Easier Use
Considering future needs or designing for people with limited mobility? Accessible taps feature designs like longer levers or easier-to-grip handles, complying with Australian Standards for accessible design. Phoenix provides options that meet these important criteria without compromising on style.
Spouts: Flexible Options
Sometimes you just need the spout. Phoenix offers various standalone spouts – for baths, basins, or wall mounting – allowing you to mix and match components for a truly custom tapware setup.
A Spectrum of Finishes: Express Your Style with Phoenix
The colour and texture of your tapware have a huge impact. It's one of the key ways to inject personality into your space. Phoenix is well-known for offering a fantastic range of durable, fashionable finishes across many of their collections. At The Blue Space, we're proud to stock a wide variety:
-
Chrome: The enduring favourite. Chrome taps are bright, shiny, tough, and fit in just about anywhere, style-wise. Plus, they're simple to keep clean.
-
Matte Black: Modern and dramatic. Black taps create powerful contrast, especially against light colours. They are a natural fit for contemporary, industrial, or monochrome designs.
-
Brushed Nickel: Warm and sophisticated. Brushed nickel tap offers a softer metallic look than chrome. Its fine brush marks cleverly help hide fingerprints and water spots.
-
Stainless Steel: Prized for toughness and hygiene, especially in kitchens. Stainless steel tap gives a modern, sometimes slightly industrial feel and resists corrosion very well. Phoenix often uses quality 304 or even 316 grade steel.
-
Gunmetal: Dark, moody, and sophisticated. Gunmetal tap delivers an industrial chic vibe, darker than brushed nickel but less stark than matte black.
-
White: Bright, clean, and minimal. White taps can blend beautifully with white ceramics for a seamless look, or offer a subtle contrast. Often accented with chrome details.
-
Brushed Gold / Brushed Brass: Warmth meets luxury. Gold taps and brushed brass taps add instant glamour. They work beautifully in classic settings, modern luxe bathrooms, or even Art Deco schemes. The brushed texture keeps them feeling contemporary.
-
Bronze: Rich, earthy, and full of character. Bronze taps lend an aged, warm feeling, perfect for rustic, traditional, or industrial interiors. The finish can vary from lighter tones to deeper, aged looks.
-
Champagne: A softer, more subtle gold. Champagne taps offer understated warmth and elegance. Less bold than yellow gold, but just as luxurious.
Spotlight: Favourite Phoenix Collections at The Blue Space
While the whole Phoenix offering is strong, some collections just seem to resonate deeply with renovators:
Phoenix Mekko
Known for its sharp, clean lines and flat surfaces. Phoenix Mekko taps speaks the language of modern minimalism. Its understated elegance makes it surprisingly versatile for contemporary bathrooms and kitchens.
Phoenix Nostalgia
The name says it all. Phoenix Nostalgia taps takes cues from classic design history. Think graceful curves, traditional cross handles, or elegant shepherd's crook spouts. It's the perfect choice for Federation, farmhouse, or classic traditional homes.
Phoenix Nuage
Characterised by its gentle curves and flowing forms. Phoenix Nuage brings a softer, more organic feel. It adds a sense of calm refinement to modern bathrooms.
Phoenix Vivid Slimline
This is one of Phoenix's most successful and widest-ranging collections. Phoenix Vivid Slimline uses thin, elegant pin levers and sleek bodies. Because it comes in so many configurations and nearly all of Phoenix's finishes, it can adapt to almost any interior style you can imagine.
A Quick Word on Installation and Care
Phoenix taps are designed for licensed plumbers to install without fuss. However, it's always smart thinking to confirm the plumbing requirements early in your planning stage. This is especially true if you're choosing wall-mounted or freestanding mixers, which need pipework positioned correctly beforehand. Always make sure your plumber follows the specific installation guide that comes with the taps.
Keeping your new Phoenix taps looking great is easy. For most finishes, a simple wipe-down with a soft, damp cloth, followed by drying with another soft cloth, is all that's needed. Steer clear of abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads – these can scratch or damage the finish. Phoenix provides specific care advice for different finishes, so it’s worth checking their recommendations.
