If your kitchen is U-shaped or L-shaped, a corner sink is likely to increase your efficiency as it would be equidistant from your work platforms. A corner kitchen sink can be in the shape of a round bowl, a rectangle, a square, or even a triangular shape. You can opt for a custom made granite, stainless steel or copper sink to perfectly fit the kitchen corner of your choice.
A center set kitchen sink is preferred when your kitchen is shaped like a galley. The central idea behind choosing the position of a sink is to make it more convenient for you to work. Remember, the sink plays a central role in all activities in your kitchen, from preparing food to cleaning up after a meal.
A corner kitchen sink does not impede movement within the floor area and allows you to work on the kitchen deck with easy access to the sink from either side. With manufacturers offering custom-made sinks, you have the freedom to decide on the number and shape of the bowls, the faucet holes, and the location of the faucets (sink-mounted or wall-mounted).
It is easier to find stainless steel, copper or granite corner kitchen sinks than porcelain as they are now custom made as well.
You have to take into account the drainage system of the house to decide the position of the sink. The sink should be placed near the water inlet and outlet so that too long pipes do not need to be added.
