The kitchen is not just meant for preparing food. Many interesting activities such as eating, drinking, and socializing happen in a kitchen; therefore, a beautiful kitchen is extremely important for a house.

The building or renovating a kitchen isn’t an easy task. From picking the right kitchen cabinet to placing the appliances and fixtures, we have too many choices to make.

Choosing the right kitchen sink is one such important decision to make. There are a few little things which we need to keep in mind. For instance, we would not need two sink bowls if we have one dishwasher.

The size of the sink also depends on the number of members in our family. If we have a small family, we perhaps need a bigger sink.

Tips to Choose the Right Sink for Your Kitchen

A sink that matches lifestyle is an important factor for designing a perfect kitchen.

Size

As mentioned above, the size of your kitchen is an important factor. You need to make sure that the size of the sink bowls meets your needs. While a big sink provides you more space for washing dishes, it also takes extra space.

Hence, if you have a small kitchen, you should go for a small sink. It matches your kitchen and makes it look neat. In case you are remodeling your kitchen, you should check that the new sink fits the existing cabinets.

Number of Bowls

Your sink also depends on the type of food you usually prepare in your kitchen. If you make pizza and grilled dishes, you might have to wash many baking pans.

In such cases, choosing a large single bowl sink will be better so that it has enough space to keep the pans soaked for some time.

You can also consider a dual level sink. Most dual level sinks have a huge bowl to soak utensils and a small bowl for rinsing them. Both the bowls should have enough rooms to meet your needs.

A dual-level sink is also a good option if you share kitchen responsibilities with someone so that you save more time.

Material

Kitchen sinks are made of various materials such as stainless steel, ceramic, stone, copper, fiber, and composite granite. Most people nowadays go for stainless steel as it is inexpensive, durable, and low-maintenance.

It is highly resistant to heat and doesn’t crack easily. Removing stain from stainless steel sinks is also much easier.

The quality of such sinks mainly depends on the thickness of steel which is referred to as gauges. The gauge number is lower for thicker steel.

Modern stainless steel sink also comes with sound-absorbing pads so that it doesn’t produce much noise. If you use light utensils, you can also go for composite granite as it looks quite appealing even when it is not so clean.

Although these sinks might be less durable than stainless steel, people tend to use it for aesthetic purposes.

Features

Deeper bowls have better room for soaking and rinsing large utensils. A relatively flat sink bottom allows you to safely stack the utensils. Offset drains provide a flatter space and allow excess water to drain from a large pan.

A web divider between the two bowls, in the case of double bowl sinks, should be lower than the outside sink walls so that it enables the water to flow freely from one bowl to another.

Style

Kitchen sinks come in different mounting styles. The drop-in sink can be kept in the existing countertop. Hence, if you are modeling your kitchen, it might be a good option.

The best undermount sinks create a seamless look. As it has an edge mounting beneath the countertop, it leaves extra counter space.

The farmhouse sink style, on the other hand, requires extra counter space. The integrated sink requires the installation of a matching countertop.

We hope that the above tips help you to choose the kitchen sink wisely. The next thing is selecting the right faucet for your kitchen sink. You need to match the kitchen faucets with the number of mounting holes in a sink.

The faucets come with various types of spouts. The straight spout faucets are popular and cheap. However, it is important to check that the faucet head reaches the entire sink.

The disk valves are made of various materials and the faucet’s durability depends on it. You should check that the size of the faucet matches the size of the sink.

Kitchen sinks are nowadays available in so many shapes and sizes. They also come with various accessories such as drying racks, cutting boards, and utensil trays. An investment to choose a new kitchen sink will give a completely different look to your kitchen.
