Captivate Painting & Remodeling is going to lead the revolution against kitchen sinks that are smaller than 30″. We INSIST that everybody who is making an investment into their home with a kitchen renovation lets us find a way to fit at least a 30″ sink in their new kitchen. I don’t care if it’s stainless or ceramic or fireclay or farmhouse or undermount or zero radius or standard radius or 2-bay or whatever other option of sink you choose – just DO NOT consider a sink that is under 30″. You probably think this is a weird hill to die on if all you’ve ever had is the standard 24″ sink or smaller, but trust me, a bigger sink is the kitchen luxury that hides in plain sight.
While we have installed sinks up to 36″, which is MASSIVE, a 30″ sink like the one in the picture up top can make all the difference in the functionality of your kitchen. 30″ sinks are great for things like:
- Having a dirty stack of dishes on one side and still having room to fill a large pot on the other side.
- Bathing babies.
- Bathing small dogs.
- Washing your hands while having items in the sink without making a huge mess all over your shirt.
- Easily fitting a high-chair tray and washing it without flooding the rest of your kitchen.
- Defrosting dinner on one side and still having room to wash vegetables on the other side.
I know these all seem a bit trivial, but all of these small things add up to make your time in the kitchen more enjoyable. In the context of getting your entire kitchen redone, a larger sink isn’t going to make much of a price difference (couple hundred bucks) and you stand to gain a lot more out of a larger sink (awesome) than you will lose from having a little bit less cabinet space (won’t notice)!
