The kitchen is, without a doubt, that space where everybody in a family congregates. If you’re hosting a holiday party, a Super Bowl gathering or just spending a little family time with your loved ones, it’s safe to say that everyone will be where the food is.
Individual elements of your kitchen, like the sink, are easy to overlook when considering kitchen remodeling options. Use this guide from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of the Southern Lakes to learn more about choosing a kitchen sink style that works with your remodel.
Kitchen Sink Styles
There are tons of kitchen remodeling options out there, and the style of sink you choose can really impact the look of your new kitchen. Read on to learn more about some of the most popular sink styles to consider.
• Drop-in sinks. Drop-in sinks are supported by a rim that extends over the top of the counter surface. They are the easiest sinks to install. Porcelain, enamel and stainless steel are the most common types of drop-in sinks.
• Undermount sinks. Undermount sinks look similar to drop-in styles, but they’re installed without an exposed rim. This makes them easy to clean, especially in busy kitchens.
• Integrated sinks. Integrated sinks provide a modern look since the sink appears to be built into the countertop itself. They are also very easy to clean.
• Farmhouse or apron front sinks. Farmhouse sinks can be traditional or modern. This deep design provides lots of space for washing dishes and handling food prep work.
Consider Your Kitchen Needs
Creating the ideal kitchen is all about understanding your needs. Do you cook a lot? A prep sink could be an ideal addition. Do you have a big family that eats at the same time, resulting in lots of dirty dishes? If so, a deep farmhouse sink might be better for you.
Are you on a budget? Easy-to-install drop-in and undermount sinks can give you style and value. Integrated sinks are easy to implement if you’re installing new countertops as well.
Work with Your Kitchen’s Design
Not every space requires a total tear-down and rebuild. In fact, some home kitchen designs make a great foundation for improving your existing space. Changing out old items like sinks, along with built-in cabinetry or flooring, can make your kitchen feel new again even if you don’t update everything in the room.
