Picking out a kitchen sink sounds simple until you start to realize just how many decisions are involved. Bowl configurations, materials, mounting methods, sizes, depths, drain positions, accessories – the options are almost endless, and unlike paint colors or light fittings, your choice of sink affects almost every task you carry out in the kitchen.
Dishwashers may have relieved the kitchen sink of its biggest burden, but it’s still called into action countless times a day. Whether you’re rinsing vegetables, filling stockpots, handwashing delicate cookware or simply making coffee, your sink will probably be used more frequently than any other feature in the room. It also occupies valuable countertop space, influences the kitchen work triangle and often dictates where plumbing, appliances and storage can be positioned.
