undermount off-center sink

17 years ago

I have a Franke stainless sink that has one large bowl on the left and a small bowl on the right. It will go under a the kitchen windows. Here's my dilemma: if the sink is centered under the window, then the faucet will be a bit off-center; if I center the faucet, then the sink will not be centered under the window.

Help, please! The fabricator is coming on Monday, and I need to decide how I want this installed. Since I will be at work (my first day back after being home all summer! Oh, why didn't I think about this sooner?), I must tell my GC today!

My first instinct is to center the sink, then have the main faucet a little to the right. I will also have a filtration faucet, definitely on the left, and an air gap (left of center), side spray, and a disposal button on the far right.

Opinions, please, and thank you!

Center the sink. It will look fine. The sink is the big thing. IMHO, if you have it off-center, the area might look lopsided.

I have the same arrangement. My sink is the Franke VNX with the small sink to the right. The faucet is a Grohe Lady Lux.

Best of luck.

Thanks so much! I'm sure that you are correct in centering the sink, and I think that I had figured this out months ago, but it has been so long since we obsessed over sinks (obsessions change weekly (granite, backsplash, faucets, counter stools, etc.)) that I forgot, and then panicked!

Your kitchen is beautiful! I love the medallion on the floor. It looks very much like a Chumash Indian symbol that was often carved on soapstone bowls and in cave paintings. Where did you get your inspiration for it?

The inspiration for the gecko mosaic came from -- get this -- E-Bay!

I was looking for a mosaic for the entry way and came across a seller from Canada. I took a look at her website (www.cerasue.com) and found it. I ended up putting the mosaic in the kitchen, and then some months later had the backsplash designed.
