Everything AND the kitchen sink!

When it comes to kitchen design, a sink isn’t just a sink – there’s lots of choice for the modern kitchen nowadays, and this choice doesn’t revolve around washing up either!  If you’re having a professional plumber remodel your kitchen, here are some novel sink ideas to consider:
Oversized kitchen sinks
Does exactly what it says on the tin: these oversized sinks are perfect for big families or those that like entertaining.  Got a large wok or baking tray that needs washing?  Stick it in your oversized singular bowl sink, or opt for an extra wide double sink!

Stone bowl sinks
The durability of stone means that it is becoming an increasingly popular material of choice for kitchen sinks.  Stone sinks also add form and style to a kitchen, often coming in two types: vintage farmhouse-style or boutique-hotel-type stone bowl prep sinks – something, therefore, for the traditional and the contemporary.

Staging sinks
What could offer better convenience than a sink with interchangeable preparation areas?  Colanders which fit neatly over the side of the sink to keep hands free, stepped side platforms for preparation of fresh produce and even in-built chopping boards: that’s exactly what staging sinks are all about.

Steamer sinks
The ultimate in kitchen gadgetry, combined sink-cook centres offer an integrated cooking vessel for steaming, poaching, boiling and blanching – perfect therefore for both healthy eating and serious home chefs!

Party sinks
Ok, so this sink’s probably not for everyone, but if you’re a serious entertainer, what could be more fun than a narrow  prep sink installed in an island countertop which can be filled with ice ready to store lemon and drinks?!  It really is time to ‘sink’ again when it comes to kitchen sinks!
