Sink in the island - how big? Where to place it? Help!!

9 years ago

Putting in a new kitchen.... island is 9 1/2 feet long. I am putting in a stainless steel sink - thinking of a Blanco Steel Art, single bowl 32 inch by 18 inch sink. IIt's simple and modern looking. have never had a sink in the island. Wondering if anyone has any advice? Is the sink size appropriate? It is slated to be on the right side of the island. Worried! Help! Thank you!

Nice size in that size island, i put 2 smaller sinks back to back in mine one on either side because my stove wall is on one side and my fridges are on the other so when 2 of us cook it works very well

In this video, the designer says why she does not like a sink in the island.
But if you do, I like this (see picture)
