How to Choose the Best Kitchen Sink for Your Remodeling Project

When designing a new kitchen for a remodeling project, a lot of thought goes into choosing new appliances. Often, homeowners look forward to new functionality as one of the major benefits of proceeding with a kitchen remodel. While big name appliances like the refrigerator and oven get a lot of attention, don’t neglect the potential of a new kitchen sink either. There are a lot of options to choose from, and a new kitchen sink can not only help add to the functionality of the design, but also the beauty and aesthetic as well. Here are some things to consider as you shop around for a new kitchen sink.

Material Choice

The choice of material for your kitchen sink may depend on the overall aesthetic you’re shooting for with your new design. If your material choice is open, consider factors such as your budget, material durability, and ease of cleaning. Stainless steel is commonly used for all of these reasons. However, copper, quartz, and natural stone are all becoming quite popular as materials that let homeowners express more personality in their kitchen designs.

Configuration

Deciding how many bowls you’ll need will come down to how you expect to use your new kitchen. If you’re looking to host often, multiple bowls and/or sinks might help make your kitchen workflow run more easily. Single bowl sinks are quite handy on their own too, especially if you cook a lot with larger cookware. Think about how you want to use your new kitchen in the future, and let these thoughts guide your decision-making when choosing a sink configuration.

Location

A kitchen sink’s location is very important. Many will place the sink near a window to the outdoors, or as part of a kitchen island that looks out to the rest of the room. However, if you’re modeling your kitchen on the triangle concept, keep this in mind during the design phase. The kitchen sink is one of the three points of the triangle, so plan accordingly.
