Sink color help

3 years ago

Hello. We bought Taj mahal quartzite slabs and need to buy the sink. We like the Rohl Allia fireclay sink. My question is:
Will a white sink be ok with the Taj mahal countertop and cabinets that will NOT be white? Cabinet color is TBD, it we are leaning towards warm white or griege or something warmer.
Thank you for your input!

    @nycbluedevil_gw WOW! Your kitchen is stunning! OK, thank you for that - i wasn't sure if we had to put a biscuit colored sink which I prefer not to. :)

    Thanks. The upper cabinets are BM simply white, the perimeter base cabinets are a light taupe stain. The sink is the Kohler Whitehaven. There are numerous light shades in the room but I think they all work together.

    I have a sinks with Taj Mahal counters in a kitchen with lots of natural light and a dark bathroom. Love the look in both rooms.

    Adding: WHITE sinks

    Paula, we used a white sink with TM, but our cabs are a soft white. Your slabs seem to be on the lighter side, so the white sink will still work. You might want to research Rohl sinks…..I thought that’s what I wanted, but after reading reviews I came to the conclusion that the newer sinks are apparently not as good as the older ones, so I decided to get a different heavy duty fireclay sink for 1/3 of the cost.

    @coray thanks for the heads up! I will research the sinks some more... from what I've seen so far, I have come across fairly positive reviews with some more negative from years ago. Do you mind saying which sink you ended up with? I will also look at the Kohler Whitehaven as many seem to go that route too. And in the pic the TM slab does look light! But it is a bit darker depending on the light and our kitchen doesn't have the best natural lighting :)

    I read stuff here on Houzz, which is where I saw the very mixed reviews. I just decided that over $3500 for a sink with so-so rating was too much. We ended up with the Signature Hardware Torun double bowl, 36”, which was just under a grand. I purchased 2 sink racks separately from a different company as the SH ones were suddenly no longer available.

    @coray i agree with you! i'll check the discussions here too. the sink we are looking at is just about $1000 - it's the 34" single bowl undermount Rohl Allia.... I'll also check out the one you got too, haven't seen that one yet :) TY again

    This Ferguson model Elkay Quartz Luxe is shown in Ricotta (bright white):




    You can get the non-Ferguson model in Silvermist and Parchment (off white). The Silvermist would look terrific with that stone:




    Quartz sinks are superior to cast iron and particularly fireclay, neither of which are practically repairable. The color goes all the way through these sinks and they have a lifetime guarantee.


    Remember when you pick caulk color, you bring the stone to the sink, never the sink to the stone.

    @Joseph Corlett, LLC This is great! Thank you. I will definitely check out these sinks! Never even thought of another color like the Silvermist!
