Could a corner kitchen sink be perfect for your space? Whether you’re still on the fence about corner sinks or know what your kitchen needs and want to make sure your design is perfect, we’re here to help. We’re covering all the important elements to consider along with unique ideas to make sure you’re left with a kitchen sink you love.
01. Double Basin Sink
Utilizing a double basin sink in your kitchen design can often result in a more functional sink than you would have otherwise. Aside from having more sink space, a two-basin sink allows you to utilize both basins separately. For example, when cooking one side could be used for washing veggies or cooking prep while the other is used for dirty dishes or cleaning without the risk of cross-contamination.

02. Efficient Workspace
If you’ve ever shared a kitchen with others, you understand how frustrating it can be when someone is trying to squeeze past you while you’re using the sink. Corner sinks provide much more room for traffic than typical sink locations allowing for others to easily pass by without bumping or needing to squeeze their way through.
03. Customized Perfection
A custom sink tailored to your needs can make a huge difference in your kitchen experience. This sink features a larger basin with disposal next to a smaller basin used for washing fresh produce or baking prep. Sinks can be made to include racks for cutting boards, custom shapes, or even a drain board depending on your needs.

04. Sink With a View
If you’d rather enjoy a nice view outside than stare at a wall while doing dishes, opting for a corner sink to sit below a window can be a great option. This kitchen utilizes a corner sink with two large windows directly above providing bright natural light throughout the day. Dishes and cleaning can be a much more pleasant experience if you get to enjoy a nice sunrise or sunset at the same time.

05. Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Pacing your sink in the corner of your kitchen can be a clever way to keep it out of mind. If you’d rather keep your sink out of sight so the focus can be on your marble countertops or custom cabinetry then a corner sink might be a perfect option. Aside from placing the focus on other things in your kitchen, sometimes a larger counter space can be more useful without a sink when it comes to baking or hosting guests.

06. Corner Sink and Dishwasher Placement
When it comes to functionality and convenience, generally it makes sense to place your sink next to or close to your dishwasher. Placing your sink close to your dishwasher eliminates the struggle of leaving trails of dirty dishwater and gunk every time you do dishes. Installing your sink between cabinets can sometimes make it feel like you’re boxed in and surrounded by walls. This kitchen utilizes a perfect sink and dishwasher layout to increase natural light and provide a spacious feeling.

07. Modern Approach
Corner sinks may seem limited to a more traditional style but this simply isn’t the case. Introducing marble or a stainless steel sink into your design can look amazing and bring a modern aesthetic to your kitchen.

08. Kitchen Island Sink
This marble-top kitchen island features a small under-mount corner sink. Including a sink in your kitchen island can be a clever design idea for those who love to cook since it allows a separate sink for rinsing or cutting while a larger main sink can be used for any dishes or heavy cleaning.

9. Focal Point
When selecting a kitchen sink, it’s important to keep your kitchen’s overall style in mind. This particular sink blends with the kitchen’s color scheme and accents, making it an attractive centerpiece. Opting for a sink that seamlessly flows with your kitchen’s aesthetic ensures it enhances the space rather than standing out awkwardly
10. Unique Design
Don’t be afraid to customize your sink. This space uses butcher-block countertops as well as a copper basin to result in a unique style. Bringing your style into your kitchen sink ensures that you’ll be greeted by a space you love every time you enter your kitchen.
