Island design questions

13 years ago

1. For those of you with main sink in island, is water "splashing" an issue? Island will be 48"deep and I am concerned water will "puddle" behind faucet. Currently there is a raised breakfast counter behind sink, which I hope to eliminate.
2. We have well water that requires kinetico whole house softener. I am currently leaning towards LG hi-Mac kahana counters. Am I going to regret dark counters? (Continually wiping salt spots off stainless sink-will NOT be using stainless for new sink!)
Thank you!

You could have the sink area and the drainer area sunken by your stone fabricator. This would limit any excess water to one area. I like to use Silestone worktops and you can also buy a sink to match the worktop colour.
