Throw In A Kitchen Sink

The kitchen sink is a very important functional area in the design of any home. The fact is that there are many types of sink shapes and the accompanying counter top area on the market today. This article serves to show 7 unique kitchen sink designs and a few other interesting pieces.

One difference regarding the kitchen versus other areas of your home is how we use this room. Each one of us cuts up vegetables, cleans dishes, prepares meals, and uses the counters.

I prefer a kitchen sink area where I can keep water in the sink basin and also quickly clean the nearby counter area by pushing debris into the sink. These pictures may give you ideas about which type of sink area may best suit your family's needs.

Small Space Kitchen Sink

Deep Drop-in Bar or Utility Sink in Satin

 

Deep Slope Counter top and Sink

This design is wonderful if you are very active on the counters. I like the fact that they guide the drainage to the sink from the counter top angle. Some earlier designs can often have water pool in certain areas if a slope is not pronounced enough. Also, if your home shifts it may change how level your sink is, which can affect the drainage flow. With a built-in recessed sink the faucet is well within the basin making it more difficult to splash water out of the sink basin.

Which kitchen sink is right for you is a matter of your personal home decor tastes and how you envision using this functional area. We can find more information in our article on kitchen design trends.

Several kitchen sinks to choose from.
