Mounting choices for different kinds of kitchen sinks. Sink makers continue to innovate, devising new ways to install different kinds of kitchen sinks. The basic installation styles are self-rimming, undermount and farmhouse. These days farmhouse and undermount sinks are sharing the limelight as the most popular styles for modern kitchens. Sizing your sink. Once you've determined the style, material and mounting method you want for your sink there's just one more criteria to think about - sizing. These days, most cooks look for a nice big sink, if they have the space. For those whose kitchens are more modest, medium, small and even petite size kitchen sinks are available. Handy prep sinks are also now fixtures in the market. Great for cleanup areas and islands, prep sinks are highly appreciated by cooks who like to have a helper in the kitchen.

Today, the design and usage of kitchen sinks has evolved immensely. Manufacturers have changed the shape, while the ingenious thought of interior decorators have improved it's design. The Kohler company, for example, offers some of the best sinks on the market. The Kohler Fete for example, is an oval shaped, and very shallow, island sink. Designers were thinking of ways to better the look of kitchen islands, while adding usage. While the small and stylish one is not able to handle washing the dishes, it does serve as a convenience for projects involving the cutting board. For salad preparation, or removing the fat from that beef, the Fete provides a big convenience to cleaning your food. Instead of traveling all the way to the main sink and risking an accident, the conventional Fete island one takes care of those small and quick jobs when cooking and prepping food. Other top brands that Kohler carries are Cursive, 8 Degree and Evenweave.
