Do you feel like your kitchen is missing a little something? Sometimes it can be hard to include strong statement features in a space that is optimized for functionality and extensive daily usage. But not all is lost! Enter: a stunning kitchen sink.

An often-overlooked element of your kitchen configuration, the right kitchen sink can actually become a beautiful focal point in your space. It can help set the tone for the room and take even the most basic of kitchens to the next level. As all interior designers will tell you, the latest kitchen trends have been all about leaving boring and impersonal designs behind, bringing character back into the picture.

In this post, we’ll look at 13 different kitchen sink trends we have been loving here at The Chic Quota. From unique finishes to elevate classics, get ready to be inspired and find out what type of sinks could help you elevate your kitchen decor!

13 Top Kitchen Sink Trends

Stainless Steel Sinks

If you need a new sink for your minimalist kitchen, look no further than a stainless steel piece. This is something you’ll often find in modern homes, as it looks sleek, it’s easy to maintain, and fits most interior styles.

The cold silver tones will complement classic white marble counters and, at the same time, not look out of place in an industrial environment. The key here is playing with styling to bring a more personal touch to your setup.

Undermount Sinks

 An under-mount sink is exactly what you need if you love clean lines and a seamless look. In recent years, these sinks have become an extremely popular choice, making them a staple of many modern kitchens.

A piece like this is not only an example of beautiful, modern design but also an amazing way to make upkeep easy. The lack of raised edges and it being fully integrated into the benchtop make cleaning both the sink and the surrounding countertop extra easy.

Overall, a great feature to make your kitchen design more practical and stylish!

Apron Sinks

An apron-front sink has a very wide and deep basin with the exposed front protruding slightly over the lower cabinetry. While the design is of course available in different sizes, the large sink basin makes it perfect if you cook with very large pots or have a big family where dishes tend to accumulate quickly.

Being a traditional kitchen sink, this style works better in rustic or cottage spaces. The iconic farmhouse sinks all over social media are what brought this piece back into the limelight in recent times!

Natural Stone Kitchen Sinks

Natural materials are one of the most popular trends when it comes to kitchen sinks, and for good reason. If you can afford high-quality materials like marble or soapstone, you’ll be able not only to get a sturdy, beautiful piece but also a fantastic element of decor.

There is a wide range of options when it comes to colors and finishes, making these pieces perfect for different needs, both in terms of design and usage. Of course, these pieces being on average more expensive and delicate, you’ll need to work with a professional team to make sure your sink installation is done perfectly.

Composite Granite Sinks

Granite composite sinks are one of the top trends in terms of practicality.

They are incredibly hard-wearing and durable, making them a great choice if you want a long-term investment. Their resilience also makes them good candidates for families with children or a high-traffic kitchen. These pieces hardly scratch or dent at all!

Bonus tip: These sinks handle heat extremely well, and they are often used in outdoor kitchens. If you’re fitting both your indoor and backyard kitchen, you may be able to get a more affordable deal by purchasing both at the same time!

Top Mount Sinks /  Drop-In Sinks

A top-mount sink is a good choice if you’re looking for an option that requires almost no countertop modification. They are in high demand for budget-friendly renovations and are a very common feature in today’s kitchens. Perfect if you want to achieve a modern look without breaking the bank.

Their popularity and ease of installation also make it easy to access a huge variety of designs at different price points. Whether you want a basic, single-basin sink or are looking for oversized double sinks, this is an option you won’t have too much trouble sourcing!

Trendy Copper Sinks

A copper, single basin sink is one of the latest trends for both rustic and modern kitchens. While a more expensive investment, such a piece creates a jaw-dropping, timeless focal point that fills your space with light and warm tones. Additionally, they are resistant to wear and naturally antimicrobial.

However, be mindful not to let the beautiful design blind you. They are quite heavy, needing a significant amount of support. They can also be challenging to maintain if you’re set on completely avoiding a patina from forming.

Vessel Sinks

If you’re looking for a single-bowl sink that is full of aesthetic appeal and also a good match for a small space, look no further than a vessel sink. This is an especially good choice if you want to steer clear of the more trendy designs and opt for more unique pieces that speak to your design preferences.

A few things to keep in mind: vessel sinks are smaller than traditionally larger sinks. If you have a large family or love to entertain all the time, this may not be the right option for your lifestyle. They are also more susceptible to splashing as they sit on top of the counter. Steer clear of them if you love a super clean kitchen at all times.

Double Basin Sinks

There is one amazing feature that all busy kitchens share: a double sink. This is the perfect sink if you feel like you can never have enough space to fit your family’s needs. I also love this design for doing dishes as it allows you to work with clean and dirty water separately.

You’ll often find this design associated with a white, ceramic farmhouse kitchen sink. However, this is a common type of sink that is available in various materials and can have a more modern look when done in stone or stainless steel.

Colorful Kitchen Sinks

I am a firm believer that a true statement piece can’t shy away from color. A bold pattern or bright color can be a fantastic way to make your kitchen sink the start of the show.

Of course, these designs tend to be more customized. Look for local artisans and constructors who can help you bring your vision to life!

Concrete Sink

Workstation Sinks / Bar Sinks

​If you’re the type of person who can never have enough counter space or who has specific needs because of how you like to cook and keep your kitchen organized, you should look into a work station sink.

These designs come with built-in accessories like a fitted cutting board, strainer, and even multiple faucet options to make all your kitchen tasks easier. My favorite feature I have ever seen on these types of sinks is built-in water filtration systems and always-ready-to-use pot filler faucets. The ultimate kitchen gadget dream!

Sinks With Touchless Kitchen Faucets

If we look at features popular across multiple sink styles, you’ll find touchless faucets to be a recurring key element. They are incredibly practical and perfect even for people who may have mobility struggles. A single-handle kitchen faucet is also an affordable upgrade if you want to give your sink a fresh look without completely replacing it.

To Conclude

This post showed you the best kitchen sink trends! 

Choosing a beautiful kitchen sink is the first step in filling your space with character. The perfect piece will not only elevate your kitchen decor but also define your room’s layout, setting a strong focal point. Whether you opt for a modern sink with clean lines and stainless steel or a more traditional and farmhouse-inspired apron design, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.

While certain sinks may lean into current trends, simply focus on choosing something that can complement your existing decor and architectural features. Boldly embracing the personality and uniqueness of your space will create a room you’ll love for a long time to come, even when today’s trends are long forgotten!
