When choosing a sink for a new kitchen, there are several important points to consider.

Besides the fact that it should match in shape and color and be functional. And if you save money and choose something cheaper, you can ruin the whole effect of the renovation.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to choose a sink for the kitchen.

First, consider the dimensions.

It's not just about shape - circle, square or other fancy shapes.

Mainly, it is a place in your kitchen. A large sink is convenient and effective, but it is not good if it takes up half the space on your countertop.

And you also need to take into account the style of the kitchen.

Secondly, consider the material

The cheapest, most durable and easiest to maintain option is stainless steel. It is easy to fit into the interior, especially if there are other metal objects in the kitchen interior.

The next option is ceramics. Sinks are considered premium, they are made in a wide range of colors, but they require careful maintenance and an appropriate mixer.

Composite material is a quartz composite or acrylic. Also available in a variety of colors and considered resistant to defects.

Thirdly, functionality

It is important to take into account that a stainless steel sink creates a lot of noise when water is poured into it or dishes are placed in it.

It is also necessary to consider the availability of a surface for drying dishes and other accessories, for example, the possibility of connecting or installing additional taps for drinking water from a filter, as well as the availability of drainage systems and other options.
