Whether it’s made of granite or quartz, your breathtaking natural stone countertop is the centerpiece of your kitchen or bathroom. Protect your investment by buying a sink type that works with and complements the stone while optimizing the room’s function. Here are some perfect sink options to pair with your bathroom vanities or kitchen countertops.

Which Sinks Complement Natural Stone Countertops?

1. Single

A single sink with a wide, deep basin is ideal for natural stone countertops in a bathroom vanity. It’s the most cost-effective option, and it’s available in a variety of sizes and styles. If large enough, its simple design reduces the risk of chipping stone counters since dropped items are more likely to land in the sink.

2. Double

A double-basin sink made of stainless steel makes a gorgeous and functional match for stone kitchen countertops. While it may cost more than a single sink, it can come in multiple shapes, sizes, and depths. Customize the two sides by to accommodate different purposes and top-mount it to protect countertop edges from chips and stains.

3. Corner

This unique sink is designed to fit in corners, making it ideal for small spaces. It consists of two basins on opposing walls, separated by a faucet and drainage area in the corner, arranged in the shape of an arrowhead. Since you can put washed dishes in the middle drainage area, there’s much less risk of dropping them on the countertops on either side.

4. Integrated

Decide if you want to install an integrated, or integral, sink before your kitchen countertops or vanity counters are created. This type of sink is carved into a single slab of natural stone that composes both sink and countertop, leading to a seamless, modern look that’s fantastic for kitchens or bathrooms. It works best with granite, but since some stones can be brittle, there’s a higher chance of the sink chipping or cracking. Beyond that, if you ever want your sink replaced, you’ll have to replace your countertops, too.
