How to Make a Traditional Kitchen Sink Look Contemporary?
If you want a more traditional look with contemporary spin, you can choose a classic sink model in a trendy colour. The Villeroy & Boch Architectura sinks are a great example of this. Available as 1 Bowl and 1.5 Bowl options, these reversible sinks offer a modern look in a stunning graphite grey colour.
Which Colour Kitchen Sink is Most Popular?
White, stainless steel, grey and back are the four colours most popularly chosen for kitchen sinks. There is a huge selection of sink colours and shades so don’t rush to go with just what is trendy. Find a colour that harmonises with the rest of your kitchen interior including your countertop and cabinets. Or if you want to be modern – go for a contrasting colour that will stand out.
What Shape of Kitchen Sink is Best?
If you want to achieve a modern look, opting for a rectangular sink with sharper edges will give you the desired minimalist aesthetic. On the downside, sinks with square edges are harder to clean. Sinks with rounded edges provide a timeless look and are easier to clean, so if easy maintenance is a priority, this would be a better choice.
What is on Trend for Kitchen Sinks 2023?
Modern kitchen design focuses on usability and functionality. The popularity of workstation sinks is on the rise and for a good reason. This type of sink allows you to work directly above the sink, containing all the mess and preventing cross-contamination. The modular setup provides multiple functions which is perfect for extending the available countertop space in small kitchens.
Although mostly associated with traditional farmhouse kitchen interiors, Belfast sinks are still popular in modern kitchens. This hugely versatile sink style is practical, stylish and versatile. Whether in a modern townhouse or traditional English cottage, a Belfast sink will perfectly fit each interior.
What is the best material for a kitchen sink?
Stainless steel is the most popular kitchen sink material in the UK. Stainless steel kitchens are easy to clean and suit every kitchen design – whether contemporary or traditional. With a huge versatility in sizes, shapes and even finishes, you can find a stainless steel sink to suit your needs. If you want durability, fireclay ceramic sinks are also a great option. This material is one of the most traditional choices for sinks.
