There is a lot that goes into designing a kitchen, more than simply choosing a marble slab in Toronto for visual appeal for your home. In Toronto, homeowners are focusing on every detail of the room, looking for ways to increase its functionality, durability and its aesthetic appeal. Natural stone is a great surface option for many homes. What happens next though? Homeowners who have selected their surface option may now be looking at the next element of their design. When installing a countertop in the kitchen or bathroom, a sink is one of the most common considerations homeowners and fabricators have to take into account.  What types of things should you consider when making room for a sink in your new countertop?

 

 

There are a wide variety of styles and designs of different sinks that may be suitable for the look that you are trying to achieve. When deciding on a sink, be sure that it matches your home décor, as well as the overall concept of your home. If you’re designing a more contemporary space, don’t be afraid to shy away from traditional stainless steel sinks in the kitchen. Get creative. Different shapes and contrasting colours of the marble slab in Toronto for visual appeal can help bring your kitchen together nicely.

 

 

The depth underneath a sink is likely to vary from home to home. The depth of most under mount sinks range from between seven to ten inches. Ideally, however, a comfortable bowl depth is said to be between eight-and-a-half to nine inches deep. Working with a sink that is too deep is going to cause you to strain your back. Of course, this will make cleaning up twice the chore. Homeowners will want to install a sink that makes it easier for them to clean up and conduct daily maintenance.

 

 

Homeowners often times do not consider the amount of water and grease that ends up splashing off of our dirty plates and pans. Installing natural stone backsplashes are a stylish and easy-to-clean solution that can increase the aesthetic and functionality of your kitchen or bathroom. Backsplashes can also be used behind the cooktop or to surround the fireplace. They make for a great way to create focal points within the room. To clean, simply use a damp cloth and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfiber cloth to ensure a streak-free shine.

 

For most homeowners, choosing a countertop surface is the easiest part of the home design process, especially if they still intend on using heat pads, coasters and cutting boards. Most homeowners will select the countertop surface that is most visually appealing to them. Marble slab countertops in Toronto for visual appeal can be fitted for any style of sink by your local Toronto fabricator. Be sure to select a sink that fits the surrounding décor and overall concept of your kitchen; otherwise, it could end up sticking out like a sore thumb. Bowl depth and backsplashes are also important functional considerations that will allow homeowners to use their sinks comfortably.
