Sinks and Faucets
Plumbing might not be the first thing you think of when you start sketching out your dream kitchen, but it's a crucial element. Think of just how often you need to use your kitchen sink and faucet—it's used every time you wash your hands, prepare fresh produce to become part of your next meal, or even prep a holiday meal. Sinks and faucets are a central part of the home, and it's important that you choose one that has the right style and functionality for your needs. At Abt, we've got tons of options—have fun exploring classic farmhouse or single bowl models as well as upgraded sinks that are closer to workstations (complete with cutting boards and strainers).
Everything in Your Kitchen Sink
Modern kitchen sinks and faucets can do more than ever before, but let's shine the spotlight on the sink. Shoppers have tons of options to choose between, like the porcelain look of the farmhouse sink (perfect for anyone upgrading their modern farmhouse kitchen). For those with a more mod style, a square stainless steel model is likely a better choice. These are minimalist, showcase straight lines and look that's stylish in nearly any home. But if you're ready to make more of a bold, functional statement with your kitchen sinks and faucets, we're ready, too: meet workstation sinks.
Workstation Sinks
These wide, deep models are equipped with extra tools you might normally keep hidden in cabinets or out on the countertop. Instead of crowding the rest of your kitchen, sliding cutting boards, strainers and other tools are placed across your sink. These become a total prep station for cooking, meal prepping and more. You can customize a workstation sink to fit your home's look: they come in multiple colors and wood finishes. Equip yours with all the tools you need (often sold separately).
Faucets
Kitchen sinks and faucets go together like peanut butter and jelly, and you'll want to make sure you pair your new top-tier sink with a faucet that's just as nice. Consider factors like metal materials and style: if you go with a stainless steel sink, you'll likely want to choose a matching metal for your faucet. But if you went with the porcelain look of a farmhouse model, explore your options: you might be able to mix metals for a stylish change, especially if other fixtures in your kitchen match (for example, gold drawer pulls with a gold faucet). Don't forget to consider functionality, too. It's always a good idea to choose a faucet with a pull-out feature that lets you hose down cookware, cutlery and more. But consider your faucet's use; if this one is for temperature-controlled hot water, that won't be necessary.
Accessories & More
Individual sinks and faucets are just part of the equation. When you find the hardware you need, you'll want to find the perfect accessories, like built-in soap dispensers, strainers and more. And if you choose a workstation sink, there are lots of accessories you'll want to consider. If you've found the sinks and faucets you love, call our specialists at 800-860-3577 to learn more. And if you have any questions, we'll be able to help you answer them. Once you have yours installed, make sure you keep it clean with some advice from Abt too; check out our Learn Center's article on how to clean your sink.
