18 Kitchen Sink Designs to Suit Any Decor

When planning a kitchen remodel, attention usually goes to countertops, backsplashes, and cabinetry—often leaving the kitchen sink as an afterthought. But this essential workhorse handles everything from heavy pots to delicate glassware, making it one of the most functional features in the room.

Beyond utility, the kitchen sink offers a stylish opportunity to infuse personality into your space.

From vintage farmhouse styles and eye-catching copper basins to sleek integrated marble designs, the options for customizing materials, shapes, and finishes are nearly endless.

Antique-Inspired Sinks

Farmhouse sinks had a recent revival thanks to the resurgence of shabby chic, but other antique-inspired designs deserve their due as well, says Lewis.

The interior designer gravitates toward the farm sinks from Watermark, which feature large backsplashes and contrasting base colors.

Brass and Copper Sinks

Copper sinks get a lot of love, but they often involve a lot of extra work in terms of maintenance and upkeep, which is one of the reasons why Lewis suggests polished brass.

DeVol has some particularly glamorous examples—but you can still go for copper if that’s more your speed.

Concrete Sinks

Those looking for something completely different may want to check out concrete.

The variety of styles and shades you can get lend to this material’s appeal—Lewis particularly loves the rammed earth designs from Bloom & Co.

Add a Farmhouse Touch

A bridged faucet with double handles has a regal look.

The hue riffs off the brass hardware on the cabinets underneath.

Plus, a matching pullout spray sits alongside it to easily clean any remaining residue in the basin.

Opt for a Bridge Faucet

Another bridged brass faucet, this one sits on an inky black countertop, allowing it to stand out against the moody hue.

Again, the shiny finish matches the cabinet hardware. An under mount basin creates a sleek, clean feel while maximizing counterspace.

Add an Extra Corner Sink

Don’t want two faucets in the same sink? You can always just add an extra one to your space…if you have space for it.

This expansive kitchen has one farmhouse sink at the back corner overlooking a bay window.

An identical one sits on the island—allowing plenty of room for cleanup when you’re entertaining or hosting guests. The silver hue plays off the gray veining of the pour-over marble counters.

Include a Water Filter Faucet

If your kitchen already errs on the minimalist side, it’s best to stick with simple silhouettes. This faucet is finished in a gold tone, brightening up the already light-filled space.

It’s set in a U-shape with a single handle atop a farmhouse-style basin for further lightness.

A matching U-shaped water filter faucet makes it easy to grab a sip, rather than having to reach for water bottles or constantly use a Brita.

Infuse Glamor

Another simple U-shaped faucet adorns this blue-and-white themed kitchen, topping it off with a bit of shine.

The pendants overhead match the golden hue.

Plus, the integrated basin makes for an extra clean look, as it blends in seamlessly with the milky white counters.

Try a Unique Silhouette

This faucet has a more square shape to complement the clean lines of the kitchen, although it still has curves to soften it up.

The faucet is set in a simple silhouette, keeping with the minimalist theme and allowing the vertical blue backsplash behind to get its rightful spotlight.

The basin is made from steel to match the appliances and offer durability.

Keep It Classic

Less is more, especially when there are already statement pieces in the kitchen. This faucet is kept a silver sheen but features a slender tall body for elegance.

The pot filler and water sprayer alongside it are kept the same hue for cohesion.

Still, they mostly blend into the background, allowing the copper hood and built-in island drawers to stay in focus.

Maintain Clean Lines

This kitchen is seamless in every way. The drawers and cabinets are push-to-open, so the surfaces are completely flat with no hardware.

Even the pour-over counters are kept a crisp white—with no veining—to maintain that minimalist feel.

So, the faucet keeps in theme with a simple U-shaped silhouette. Note that there is no handle, meaning that it turns on with an easy touch control and looks even cleaner.

Infuse Elegance

On the flip side, this kitchen embraces a fun eclectic style. The floors feature emerald and white checkerboard tiles, while the backsplash has a playful diamond and square-shaped pattern.

So, the sink sticks with the style, adding further drama with a weathered brass bridge faucet. It infuses elegance while also maintaining a rustic feel.

Choose a Glossy Finish

A shimmery sheen coats this brass sink, which features a classic U-shape alongside an identical but smaller water filter spout.

The basin is integrated into the counter, allowing for a crisp, clean effect. Plus, there is a button for spraying versus full water pressure at the tip of the faucet.

Match with Metals

This brass sink plays off the metals throughout the kitchen, matching the pendant above as well as the cabinet handles.

The brass hue also draws out the warmth of the wood tones in the floating shelves and boards.

Note that the faucet has a single handle while the water filter spout has double handles—the two don’t have to be identical to look unified.

Double-Basin Sink

Jean calls this style a multitasker, because it comes with two separate compartments, making it easier to juggle different jobs in the kitchen.

“It’s designed for efficiency, allowing you to separate tasks such as washing and rinsing,” she says. “It not only provides functional benefits, but also adds a touch of elegance.”

Undermount Sink

Undermount sinks are a great option. They’re easy to clean, and since they sit beneath your countertop, rather than on top of it, they let your marble or stone really shine.

When home stylist Alissa Jacobs began work on her own kitchen, for example, she chose a neutral gray undermount from Blanco. “This served as a beautiful contrast to the white Silestone countertops, yet matched the mood of the painted black cabinets,” she says.
