When we design a kitchen in our interior design studio in Sóller, Mallorca, every detail counts. The sink is one of those key pieces that combines functionality and aesthetics. Choosing the right one can make all the difference in your day-to-day life and in the harmony of the space.
In this article we tell you about the most common types of sinks and help you choose the one that best suits your kitchen.
Built-in sink (or countertop)
This is the classic sink that is installed on the worktop, with the rim remaining visible.
Advantages:
– Easy to install
– Economical
– Compatible with most worktops
Ideal if you are looking for a practical and functional solution for a traditional or rustic kitchen.
Undermount sink (or undermount sink)
It is placed under the worktop, leaving a smooth and continuous surface.
Advantages:
– Clean and modern aesthetics
– Easy to clean
– Very popular on natural or compact stone worktops
Perfect for minimalist or contemporary kitchens with water-resistant worktops.
Integrated sink
Made of the same material as the worktop, it looks like a single piece.
Advantages:
– Maximum visual integration
– Highly hygienic
– Exclusive, high-end design
Recommended if you opt for a premium design, such as in solid surface or sintered stone kitchens.
Ceramic sink (farmhouse or rustic style)
With more traditional lines, they tend to be deeper and with the front in view.
Advantages:
