Kitchen Sink Styles

Kitchen sink styles come in all shapes, sizes and configurations to meet the specific needs of every homeowner. Choose from materials like stainless steel, quartz, fireclay and copper for the best look and performance in your countertop space.

Finding the appropriate sink will depend on your cooking and cleaning habits, counter space available, style and budget. When renovating an existing home or building a new one, finding one that works well for you will make the experience seamless and successful.

Single bowl sinks can be found in many kitchen styles and applications; such as an apron-front, in-counter, drop-in and undermount models. Single bowl models are particularly beneficial in small or narrow kitchens because they take up less counter space.

Double basin sinks are the most sought after, offering two distinct areas to clean and rinse dishes simultaneously. Ideal for large pots and pans, double basin sinks may even serve as an effective replacement to an expensive dishwasher.

Low Divider Sinks - Low-divider double-bowl sinks give an illusion of single bowl design by filling both basins partially for larger cookware storage needs.

Corner - These corner sinks, often made of stainless steel, may be ideal for those with limited countertop space due to not needing an overhang that would obscure their sink's view.

Stainless steel is an attractive and practical choice, thanks to its durability, ease of care, and resistance to rust. Plus, its versatility means it can match most countertop styles!

I’m Justin Ankus, an architectural designer, ceramicist, and digital media entrepreneur with a Bachelor of Architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology. My architectural experience spans public-sector work, private residential design, independent commissions, international competitions, and conceptual projects exploring how buildings respond to their landscapes. My portfolio includes residential renovations and new-construction concepts, urban and cultural proposals, digital fabrication, and architectural studies developed for environments ranging from dense cities to the American desert. My current architectural work continues to explore sculptural forms, parametric design, contextual futurism, and the relationship between architecture, climate, material, and place. Across architecture, ceramics, publishing, and web development, my work combines spatial thinking, visual storytelling, digital automation, and hands-on making to transform ideas into tangible experiences across clay, digital media, and the built environment.
