For over a century now, stainless steel sinks have served as workhorses in the contemporary kitchen design world. Especially for those on a budget or who need a sink that can stand the test of time, they’ll always be a timeless feature. However, some homeowners are bypassing stainless steel and looking towards the latest trends in kitchen sinks. Stainless steel sinks are not going out of style since they’re similar to white kitchens. Those that choose to pass on stainless sink options seem to prefer innovative alternatives that add a little more color to their kitchen design, based on some of our customers’ recent choices. Today, we at MB Construction would like to discuss sink options for your kitchen remodel.
Types of Kitchen Sink Styles
Textured Apron Fronts. The increase in textured apron fronts, which are the facing section of the farmhouse sink exposed in the front of the countertop. The Elkay Crosstown Kitchen Sink Apron Cover for an interchangeable apron option is particularly popular. You can have the best of both worlds installing a Stainless-Steel Farmhouse Sink with Interchangeable Apron.
Farmhouse Sinks. Working with both traditional and modern design styles, Farmhouse sinks continue to trend because they really are versatile. You can accommodate dishes from even the busiest kitchens with their big, open container-like basins. Farmhouse sinks were largely available in either stainless steel or white porcelain until recently. However, including natural stone, fired clay, copper and even wood, they are offered in a range of finishes.
Workstation Sinks and Accessories. In smaller spaces and accessible kitchen designs, they are particularly beneficial, as workstation sinks enhance the function of any kitchen. Also helping to keep kitchen messes to a minimum, slide-over cutting boards, drainboards and colander inserts not only optimize functionality. It easier to preserve the brand-new look of porcelain or other light-colored sink finishes as the accompanying racks can also keep food items or metal cook/dishware off the surface of the sink.
Stone Finish Sinks. Composite sink options do include flecks and crystals from granite and other natural stones. In just about any shade and finish they desire, including natural stone looks, you can enjoy a non-porous, meaning more hygienic, sink. The fact that their sink can blend seamlessly with their countertop is appreciated by those who select granite or quartz slabs. Making them extremely functional and available in unique styles and shape, they can work in almost any space.
Seamless Sink Integration. Decorative elements and a bit of eclectic “mix and matching” or intentional imperfections are often used with modernists, though some homeowners simply prefer kitchens that are as seamless as possible. Generally, traditional kitchen designs embrace more textures. Consider a seamless sink integration and go beyond the sink options you may know. Countertop and sink joints or seams, are places where food debris, grime, moisture and mold/mildew can collect if you are looking at it from a health-conscious standpoint.
