We're almost finished with our house renovation and will be listing it soon.
The last thing we need to buy is the kitchen sink. (We've got everything but the kitchen sink. )

With no other details given, what is your favorite type of kitchen sink?
Do you like stainless or other?
Do you like double sinks?
Do you like the farmhouse sinks?

The next time I replace a kitchen sink I am hoping to be able to use a double bowl sink with an integrated drain board on both sides.


I prefer stainless because it's easy to clean and you can't chip it if you drop something in it.


I prefer two bowls of equal size because it makes hand washing easier (soap in one side, scalding water in the other).

Stainless, deep double bowl with one side just slightly larger than the other.

Single bowl, 30" or more. Makes it ideal for kitchen activities and cleaning.

Love my current porcelain sink.

I like the look of farmhouse sinks. I like depth and space, basically. Whenever next time comes around I will look into either one large sink or a wide sink with two sections but both wide enough for dinner plates and pans. Don't like the small section.

I have a porcelain enamel over cast iron sink and do NOT recommend it - you get tiny scratches, stains, etc. - don't even think about dropping something in there - CHIP!!! - I wish I had gone w/a stainless steel sink (hindsight is 20/20)

Love the farmhouse look, prefer porcelain, and like two basins - but only if one of them is BIG. I would prefer one large enough to put a baking sheet in than two where it wouldn't fit in either. Like the integrated drainboard, too. Overmount.

Stainless steel.
Single bowl.
Approximately 30x18x10 inches.
Most are 18 gauge, but some are 16 which is better.

Love these ideas. There's no dishwasher so a double sink may be better. It's not a large house and we have a well. It didn't have a dishwasher when we got it and it's not really configured right to put one in.

Stainless would work better with our fixtures and I love the drainboard sinks. I have a dehydrator that I love to use but the trays won't fit in the sink which is so frustrating. I've washed them in the bathtub before! I'm with you on the large sink!
