Placing second sink in existing kitchen - tricky location

4 years ago

We need a second sink in our kitchen, and can't figure out the best way to configure it; it can be either a completely separate sink or one double sink. The largest double sink that can fit in the existing cabinet is 27-28'', which seems small. To the right of the sink is a garbage pullout and to the left is a regular cabinet. I don't mind taking over an adjacent cabinet but all the double corner sinks are meant for 90-degree turns and I don't think that would work with the cabinets here. There are no other practical places in the kitchen to move the sink.

What are our best options?

Show the whole kitchen so we can advise where a separate second sink can go, because two sinks in the existing location is not an option.

to clarify, are you in need of two basins? I’m understanding this as you would like either

a) 2 separate sinks in 2 separate locations or

b) 1 double basin sink?

if that is correct that opens more options
