Need help choosing a kitchen sink!

4 years ago

We are remodeling our kitchen and will be using white patagonia as the granite. Our faucet will be brizo luxe gold, cabinets sherwin williams antique white. The problem is deciding what color sink would look best? We have both of these slabs to chose from but are having a hard time with sink color? Any thoughts?

    A black granite composite sink would look dramatic against the stone (which has black in it), and the gold faucet would look like jewelry on black velvet.

    Thank you for the tip Miranda. Black was not a color I had considered but you make some very good points. I like the contrast and what it’ll do for the granite. I was originally leaving toward biscuit or truffle.

    I don’t think that stone needs any more drama or competition for attention…..i would match the cabinet color as closely as possible…

    I have noticed that black composite sinks show wear more than lighter colors as well

    Thank you btydrvn. I appreciate your perspective on color matching. That was certainly one of our dilemmas when trying to decide. It’ll be a moderately used sink so durability is key.

    Order the Elkay Quartz Luxe samples please.

    An Elkay in Chestnut would look nice with that slab:

    Thank you Joseph, and more great choices too. I really appreciate the pics to support the suggestions. We do have a white Elkay in our laundry room and my wife loves it.

    @don_briscoe I replied to your other post. Just wanted to add, make sure that your fabricator is great! These Brazilian stones are extremely hard in the quartz (gray) parts, my fabricator said that it was like cutting true quartzite. I've had my stone for 2 years, 100% perfect. No chips, no stains...4 kids.

    After having a darkcolored sink, I wouldn't recommend it. While itmakes a great impact, if you have hatd water as I did, the water sots drove me crazy. I'd choose either stainless or one of the many shades of white sinks available. Beautiful granite!

    Thank you Barbara! We do have hard water so that’s definitely something to consider and something we didn’t think about. Thanks for weighing in.

    One thing i am just noticing in your slabs that may be throwing things off for me ….is the areas with black dominance….these spots my be what is driving the black sink idea…but if it was me ….i may be trying to remove their influence ..or relegate to the ends or edges of your counters where they wont dominate

    You don’t show the complete slabs so i could be completely wrong about this

    What color have you chosen for appliances?

    Unfortunately btydrvn those are the only pictures I have as the slabs are in transit. They should be here within 30 days. And, the appliances are stainless JennAir.

    Then i would seriously consider a sink in stainless…a good match with those colors …forgoing the gold faucets…would also be a good move…i think the stone is enough “ fancy” in a kitchen setting
