Your sink is not outdated. The double sink is less preferred by pros though I still see plenty of them in homes. It might be possible to replace it with an apron front sink but it is a little expensive.

Outdated? No. Preferable? That's a matter of opinion. Do a search of this forum and you will get lots (and lots) of opinions.

If you don’t like it, change it. Workstation sinks are all the rage at the moment, and this is a trend that will last, I think. Below is a Kohler Prolific, one fine example of the more affordable end of the spectrum. I’ve played with these a bit. They’re so fun to use.

Thanks! Would I have to cut the existing granite to make something like this work?

Probably. The cutout appears to be specific to the sink you have, so any new sink will require that you alter the granite. My guess is that’s done regularly, but I’m not sure that’s true. Joe will know. Here’s a video of that sink. I think it’s so cute.

Yes, but so is your granite. Do nothing until you are ready to "go big" and do it all.

Ouch! Anglo is right, Anglo is often right, but there’s a difference between outdated and unattractive. Your sink is outdated because it is less functional than more current choices. Your granite is not the current style but it’s still pretty and it will never become functionally obsolete.

Thanks! I love that sink!

Yeah, I actually kind of like the granite. I feel like it has the overall look that I like. I had quartz in my last home. Quartz is probably more ideal, but I can definitely work with these counters. I actually had darker brown quartz in my last kitchen, and it bothered me that they were not light and airy. These counters are more of the ideal color palette for me.

IMO-nothing here is outdated. question of personal preferences/work habits/your specific kitchen and how relates to the house

if the sink irritates you because you'd prefer single bowl-change it but you'll have to change granite somewhat

if you dislike granite because you dislike granite/doesn't make sense with the rest of the house-change granite, and together with it, change sink, when you know you have budgeted for it, and after making sure you like your layout

if you think other faucet would be more preferrable to you-then change the faucet..and you can leave the rest as is. And yes, other faucets might have useful features this one doesn't have, and look prettier

but "outdated" shouldn't drive your important and costly decisions since it's not really present here. at least not from what i see on the photo

Thanks! Overall, I love the kitchen.

I had the same kind of double bowl sink. I prefer single bowl. I found the same size and shape in a single. Bought a new faucet and the plumber installed the new sink in the existing granite without making any cuts.

Czarinalex, Do you happen to know which sink you purchased?

"Would I have to cut the existing granite to make something like this work?"

Yes, but it isn't all that big a deal. A nice new sink and faucet with granite alterations should be around 2K installed complete. You aren't getting new tops for that.

Thanks everyone! I just found this on Amazon! I also reached out to the builders to see if they have recommendations for a single basin option that would fit the existing cut.

I got the Franke Orca.

It's not outdated and you should keep it I a have one and I work well with it you can multitask and wash, rinse and cook at the same time

Why do you care what other people think? If you like it then that’s good enough. It is NOT outdated. I have a large single sink and I hate it. I wish I had your sink.

The sink is only outdated for people who prefer a single sink. That describes me and most people here. Single sinks were a marvelous revelation to those of us in this camp since we were used to having a double. YMMV

I think double sinks are a relic of the pre dishwasher age but I don’t know anyone who fills a bowl to wash and rinses in the other bowl so that functionality is obsolete for most people

I know people who have a smaller second bowl they use to prep but I think most people who think at all about functionality opt for one large bowl. You can always create a second bowl or prep space with sink accessories, but you can’t create one large bottom for being able to scrub large pans and trays without tilting. I always soaked myself attempting to wash and rinse because everything large was at an angle to fit into the small bowls.

That said, I don’t know many people who aren’t planning something of a remodel who deliberately rip out a good sink because it is double bowl. I think most people do the replacement when they replace their counters at a minimum. If you’re replacing the counter, certainly change the sink or if the functionalIty bothers you enough to spend the money, change it. But I come from a place where major components are not replaced simply because they are date - I pay cash for a car and drive it for ten or more years.

Just to be clear, I wondered if it was outdated out of curiosity for resale mainly. I have always had double sinks. I want something else. I've been desiring a single one at my last two houses. This is going to be my third house, and I want something more ideal for me. We are a young family, so I need space for lots of pans, and possibly bathing a baby if need be.

This sink in my soon-to-be new home is definitely too shallow in person. I do not like it. I don't like the look of it, and I don't like the lack of space for big pots and pans. And I'm not sure what paying cash for a car has to do with this topic...but both of my cars were paid for in cash too.

Sorry if you misunderstood my intent. You asked about dated which to me generally implies what is aesthetically fashionable at the moment.

i know homes where kitchens that were installed a few years ago were completely gutted by new owner’s because they weren’t their style - these weren't dated kitchens at all.

Likewise I have friends who buy a car every two or three years because they love having a new car.

My analogy to cars was merely to provide you with some context to evaluate my post in terms of whether replacing the sink would be a priority for me as I fall into the category of using things until they cease to be functional. Some people have different priorities. I also disliked my double bowl sink and am replacing it with a large single bowl but never thought about it being dated anymore than I though my older car was dated so long as it provided me with reliable and comfortable transportation

Not outdated at ALL. I had a beautiful brand new Kohler stainless offset sink installed just this past fall. Double sinks are a preference for many many people. Those that don’t like him, don’t like them. Those that love them, love them. Has nothing to do with being “dated”. I have a pretty pricey new dishwasher too, and use it about once a week. I still prefer a double sink.

Thanks everyone!

personally not a fan of the shape of the sink, but I do agree that a new faucet, and also changing it to the Franke Orca sink that czarinalex posted could look much better for now -- but only if you think you will have it for a long time.

if it were my kitchen, I'd change just the faucet only and hold off on any other changes until a big renovation.
