Faucets and Sinks

While most people will spend time on selecting their cabinets and countertops in their new kitchen, it's important to remember all the details!
Some of those overlooked points of interest are faucets and sinks.
A bamboo sink, a farm sink carved from a large piece of stone, or even a glass sink can throw in an unexpected curve that sparks conversation and makes the kitchen a little more interesting. You should buy the best sink you can afford, because it's very difficult to change your sink without changing out the entire countertop, if it's been cut out for an undermount sink, so you'll be living with it for a long time. Thin metal will get dented easily and make more noise. Opt for sturdy 18-gauge stainless steel or a solid composite sink that matches your countertops. Many people like the deep single bowl that can handle large pots and pans; you can add a strainer for more delicate items. The double sinks with a little bowl for the garbage disposal don't make practical sense.
Faucets are another essential where you shouldn't skimp. Faucets are one element where price is closely related to quality,. A $150 faucet is one you will replace in two years. A $500 faucet is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase. Choose a faucet in a showroom where you can touch them and try them out, and stick to brands with a good reputation. A well-designed faucet has an almost sculptural quality. Sometimes these most functional elements can add a surprising touch of elegance!
