A handpainted and very delicate sink with a lot of gold on it wouldn't work in a mudroom, but a giant stone one can work anywhere because it will survive almost any abuse you give it.
Nancy Epstein shares today's new design trend in sinks and tips on what to think about before purchasing a stylish sink:

  • Handpainted, gold plated, above the counter, below the counter, cone shaped, square shaped, sinks aren't what they used to be.

  • As society has changed, we want to make the rooms we spend a lot of time in, kitchens and bathrooms, more personal and more special. Today's sinks are true works of art that come in all shapes and styles.

  • When choosing a bathroom or kitchen sink, always think how you function first because sinks are not just items of beauty, they have to work in their environment. Then, consider the look you want in the space.

  • Be sure to know how to maintain your new sink before leaving the store to keep it looking its best.
