Combine practicality and panache with a functional focal point

Among the most frequently used fixtures in the home, sinks serve many essential purposes, from cooking to cleaning to personal hygiene. If you’re updating a kitchen or bathroom, the choice of sink will impact not only the ease of these everyday tasks, but also the visual appeal of the space.

Below are some of the most important considerations when shopping for a new sink:

• Size and shape: There are plenty of options here, ranging from typical single basins to super-sized three-bowl sinks. For kitchen sinks, be sure to check the depth; if you’ll be using the sink for intensive cooking, you may want to go for a ten-inch style.
• Materials: Stainless steel has long been a popular material for kitchen sinks, renowned for its durability and stain resistance. Additional options include enamel sinks, solid-surface sinks that achieve a seamless appearance with the counter, and scratch-resistant quartz composite.
• Mounting: Most bathroom and kitchen sinks are mounted in one of three ways: self-rimming, where the edge of the sink hangs onto the counter; integral, where the sink is a rimless extension of your counter; and undermount, where the sink is attached to the underside of the counter. Each mounting option creates its own distinct visual effect.
• Fixtures & Accessories: Sink fixtures range from sleek brushed nickel to oil-rubbed bronze to antique pewter, as well as classic brass. Depending on where and how you’ll be using your sink, you may benefit from some add-on accessories to enhance the sink’s ease of use. Some kitchen sinks are outfitted with pull-out sprayers, built-in cutting boards, water purifiers, and garbage disposals. For bathroom sinks, you may want to add a soap/lotion dispenser.
