Apron sinks

An apron sink is similar in style to the farmhouse sink but the front is exposed and it extends out beyond the cabinets underneath.

Farmhouse sinks

As with the apron sink these are large and wide making them perfect for busier kitchens. This style is enclosed with the cabinet at the front rather than exposed though. It is a very traditional style sink but there are modern designs nowadays if you prefer something more contemporary. They tend to be made from white porcelain or stainless steel, but more recently can also be found in wood, natural stone, clay and copper finishes.

 

Workstation sinks

When you need to have a workspace that is more accessible, or you are considering a design for marble countertops in Tinton Falls in a smaller kitchen workstation sinks might work. They come with additional features that make sense when space is limited such as slide-over draining boards or cutting boards, inserts for a colander and so on.

They come in all kinds of appearances to suit any style kitchen and can be designed so they blend in seamlessly with your chosen stone countertops. You can also choose from some more unique shapes.

 

Summary

Whether you love a more traditional kitchen that involves more decorative elements, textures and designs, or something more modern with seamless countertops and sinks, there is something for everyone. If you want to look beyond the standard size and shape stainless steel sink, you can!
