Fluted design elements are one of today’s most sought‑after trends, having emerged as a style of choice in high end kitchen schemes. Abode brings this look to life with the launch of Ornate, a new addition to its growing portfolio of British-designed kitchen taps.
The new Ornate tap collection presents a signature range of monobloc mixer taps, which are designed with solid brass, fluted dual lever handles and a regency-style spout. Responding to the growing demand for fluted interior design, which increased by over 200% in 2025, Ornate suits both modern and traditional kitchen environments by presenting a neo-classical style, which draws inspiration from the past and present.
Dan Biddle, Product Manager at Abode says, “Offering a fresh way to introduce vertical grooves into the hybrid kitchen space, our new Ornate tap collection is designed to complement our recently introduced Optima Belfast sink, which features a fluted surface on one side and smooth on the other so you can ensure the right look in your kitchen.”
Bringing understated elegance to fluted home interiors, the new Ornate collection is available in a range of exclusive finishes including new dark bronze, a warm metallic that moves away from the brighter, more yellow tones of brass to present a darker, reddish-brown finish option with ultra-matt surface texture. Dark bronze also joins polished nickel, another new addition to the Abode finish library, which is exclusively available for the new Ornate collection to provide a richer alternative to contemporary chrome.
Ornate features ceramic disc technology to offer superior durability with easy operation using the dedicated dual flow lever handles, which keep the hot and cold water supply separate while introducing beautifully decorative, fluted detailing. Ideally suited for anyone using a gravity fed or lower pressure water system, Ornate can operate on as little as 0.3 Bar water pressure. Made from solid brass, Ornate offers smooth quarter turn handle action, and anti-splash technology, which prevents water spray, reduces water consumption, and saves energy to ensure a quality kitchen tap with lasting quality and performance.
The Ornate tap collection is also available in antique brass and brushed nickel, and over time, dark bronze and polished nickel will be extended throughout the entire portfolio of kitchen taps and accessories by Abode. For now, you can pair your choice of Ornate mixer tap alongside a traditional-style Fenton handspray and matching Fenton soap dispensers to create a truly coordinated kitchen, which enhances the functionality of the sink and prep area.
The Fenton accessory range by Abode is available in dark bronze, polished nickel, chrome, brushed nickel or antique brass, with each handspray designed with an ergonomic push button control function and single spray pattern to make light work of cooking, cleaning and filling large pots. Complementary by design, Fenton soap dispensers provide the final finishing touch to deliver convenient handwashing and minimise the risk of cross-contamination at the kitchen sink.
Prices for the Ornate tap collection start from £279 (polished nickel) up to £399 (dark bronze). Complete the look and pair the Ornate tap with a Fenton handspray from £169, Fenton soap dispenser from £99, and an Optima fluted Belfast sink in either white granite, grey metallic, black metallic or taupe granite (£499).
