Farmhouse sinks are a beautiful addition to any home, and an up and coming choice among many homeowners. Also referred to as an apron front sink, farmhouse sinks are ideal for any home due to their depth and practicality. These sinks can be made out of many different materials, depending on the use of the sink, such as copper, enameled steel, or acrylic. They are also able to be made in many different color varieties to fit the desire of the owner and the home. (Image Credit: Solomon Rodgers/Pixabay)
WHITE
White is the most common color for a farmhouse sink as it pops with the other colors in the room. This is especially true if the room is of a darker hue. For example, if you have dark green or red in your kitchen with a white farmhouse sink, the first thing everyone will notice when walking into your kitchen is the sink. White is the easiest variety to find if you do not want to get a custom sink made.
MATTE BLACK
Having a matte black farmhouse sink is another common option for the opposite reason. The matte black pops when the kitchen has a lighter hue, such as a pale yellow. On the other hand, many people will choose matte black if they want the sink to blend well with the rest of the room because black matches everything. Matte black is also a readily available color in most home improvement stores, but not as easy to find as white.
RUSTIC BROWN
Many people choose to go with a rustic brown farmhouse sink because it goes well with the farmhouse feel of the home. Rustic brown works especially well if there are counter tops or a table made out of reclaimed wood, as they just fit together. This option makes the room look very authentic and can really make a house feel like a home.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel sinks are one of the most common options because of their practicality. Stainless steel sinks are harder to damage when using the sink for dishes. They resemble silver, and look beautiful in most kitchens, especially if the appliances in the room are silver. The wonderful thing about having a stainless steel farmhouse sink is that you can have the room any color and it will still look amazing.
COPPER
Copper is a great color choice for a farmhouse sink if you are looking for a rustic or antique look in your home due to copper being one of the earliest materials used in manufacturing. Copper is known for not staining easily and being antibacterial which is a great feature in a sink. Copper is more pricey than other alternatives, but the look you get and the usability may just be worth it.
There are many other material and color options for a farmhouse sink. The choice depends on a variety of different factors, such as home decor, personal preference, use for the sink, and financial position. A farmhouse sink is an investment, therefore there are many things to consider when you are looking for yours.
