correct direction for bathroom faucet to turn?
I've typically seen faucet handles configured in one of two ways. For radially symmetric &quot;knob&quot; type handles, both may be set up so that the behave like common screws - righty tighty (off), lefty loosey (on). For &quot;lever&quot; type taps like the one linked in the OP's comments, it may be more common to have both handles rotate &quot;in&quot; toward the user to turn the tap on - the off position is at 9 and 3 o'clock for the left and right taps, while the on position is at 6 o'clock for both. If the faucet taps have long handles or are close to the wall, it's not even possible to have the levers rotate away from the user to 12 o'clock, but they can always rotate toward the user to 6 o'clock.
Which way you want the taps set up will be a matter of personal preference, handle type, as well as the physical realities of if it's even possible to turn the tap backwards toward the wall.
