The 5 Best Kitchen Sink Styles to Choose From

May 31, 2023

Besides your cabinets, countertops, and flooring, the next element that will have a major impact on the style of your beach house kitchen is your sink. 


To decide which sink style is best for you, think back on why you wanted to remodel your kitchen in the first place and what kind of kitchen design you’re going for. Would you prefer a breezy, grand beach house kitchen with plenty of space for entertaining, or a quaint beach cottage kitchen perfect for quiet relaxation with a cup of coffee?


Here are 5 of the top trending kitchen sink options to consider as you prepare to make a decision.

Farmhouse Sinks

Farmhouse sinks are large, single-basin sinks with “apron” fronts that extend over the countertop, providing a generous space to wash large cookware.


If your goal is to design a kitchen with the capacity to host lots of guests, a farmhouse sink would be both a practical and trendy option.

Undermount Sinks

An undermount sink attaches to your countertop from below, making it easy to sweep crumbs and water straight into the sink basin without getting caught in the rim. While homeowners and investors love the sleek look of undermount sinks, they can be more expensive than other types of sinks because you’ll need a custom cut in the countertop, which can strain your budget.

Integrated Sinks

Integrated sinks are a good choice for beach cottage kitchens with natural design elements because the countertop and sink basin is made of the same material. Choosing an integrated sink will mean that you’ll need to install your countertops and sink at the same time, but this look is very elegant with stone material variations like granite, quartz, and marble.

Drop-In Sinks

You’ve likely seen many drop-in sinks (also called top-mount sinks) before. These sinks are the quickest to install which can help you save time on your remodel. You’ll have the opportunity to choose from a variety of sink materials—the most popular of which is stainless steel.

Low Divider Double Basin Sinks

A low divider in a double basin sink is helpful for homeowners who use their kitchen sink for food prep because you can place a cutting board or other tool over the divider. It’s also a more practical option when it comes to washing dishes than a traditional double basin sink.
