Developing the kitchen of your dreams? Then don’t forget about the sink. This crucial part of your kitchen is more than just a functional asset; by selecting the right sink, you’ll also elevate the overall look and feel of the space. In other words: though it might be the last thing you think about during your kitchen remodeling project, the kitchen sink is important.
And as you might expect, there are a whole host of options available to you, and at different price points. On this page, you’ll find an in-depth kitchen sink price guide, which will outline what you may expect to pay for sinks made of different materials, as well as the benefits of each, and how to select the right one for your kitchen.
Stainless Sinks: $1000+
Stainless sinks work particularly well in kitchens. Indeed, take a look behind-the-scenes in restaurant kitchens, and you’ll invariably find a stainless sink. These sinks cost from $1000+ and offer a whole host of benefits that have made them a go-to option for homeowners looking to add style and function to their kitchen, without breaking the bank.
Benefits of Stainless Sinks
Wondering why so many homeowners turn to stainless sinks? Just check out some of the benefits below.
Long-Lasting
Nobody wants to go through the kitchen remodeling process more frequently than necessary. If you’re taking the time to put together an excellent kitchen, then you’ll hope that it’ll stay that way for many years to come. Stainless steel is highly durable, which means that it’ll stand the test of time. At CopperSmith, we manufacture all our sinks using the highest-quality materials, so you can have peace of mind your sink will look just as good five years down the line as it does on the day it’s installed.
Versatile Aesthetic Appeal
You’ll find stainless steel used for all types of products, not just because of its functional attributes. It’s also because stainless steel offers a clean and sleek look that’s easy on the eye. Stainless sinks are also popular with homeowners thanks to their high versatility. It’s suitable for all modern kitchens and will especially complement those with steel appliances, such as a refrigerator and dishwasher.Easy to Maintain
It’s hard enough having to wash all those dishes once you’ve finished preparing your meal; you won’t also want to spend half an hour cleaning the kitchen sink. Thankfully, when you invest in a stainless sink, you’ll have no such trouble. Steel surfaces are exceptionally easy to clean — all you need to do is wipe down the surface with soap and water to get rid of the buildup of dirt and grime, and your sink will be back at its shining best.
Budget-Friendly
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly yet aesthetically pleasing and highly functional kitchen sink, then a stainless sink could be the way to go. While stainless looks don’t have the “wow factor” of other sink materials, they more than provide an attractive option for homeowners who want to round off their kitchen remodel with a sink that’s in line with the quality found elsewhere in the space.
Custom Sinks: $2000+
Most homeowners find the sink that’s right for their home from the list of our preexisting sinks, but that’s not always the case. Some people have a particular vision of what they want their kitchen to look like, and that can include a sink that doesn’t yet exist. At CopperSmith, we’re all about ensuring that homeowners are fully satisfied with their remodeling projects. That’s why we offer custom sinks that can be made with specific materials, dimensions, and styles in mind. The cost of these types of sinks begins at $2000, though your selections will determine the final cost.
Benefits of Custom Sinks
A custom sink isn’t for everyone. Many homeowners don’t need a custom sink; they’ll get what they need from our pre-designed selection. However, if you do need a custom sink from CopperSmith, you’ll receive a whole host of benefits, including:
Getting Exactly What You Need
It can be frustrating to struggle to find the sink that’ll work best with your new kitchen. Having gone through the work of creating the vision for your new kitchen, no one expects to have difficulty finding the perfect one. However, just because you can’t find it, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. It does — just not yet. At CopperSmith, we make it as straightforward as possible for homeowners to get their dream sinks, which in turn will help them to get their dream kitchens.
Quality Assured
The process of adding a custom sink to your kitchen is a little different than adding a pre-designed sink. But you can have confidence that your sink will have the same level of quality as anything else you’ll find on our site.
A Range of Options
When we say that this is a custom sink, we really mean it. You’ll be in charge of selecting pretty much every detail of the sink, from the size, style, and material. You may decide that a steel sink is the way to go, or that you’d prefer to have all the luxury of a copper sink. Whatever you decide, our expert team will be ready to bring your vision to life.
Brass Sinks: $2500+
You tend to get what you pay for in the kitchen sink world. In fact, you tend to get what you pay for in all worlds. Brass sinks are more expensive than other options (prices begin from $2500), but no one regrets adding one to their kitchen. In simple terms, brass sinks are functional and upscale, allowing homeowners to bring a real touch of quality to their households.
Benefits of Brass Sinks
As we said: brass sinks aren’t cheap (though they’re not overly expensive, either). However, the price point is, in our opinion, worth it. There’s something about brass sinks that other materials can’t offer, including:
Exceptional Aesthetics
If there’s a material that can be said to have stood the test of time, it’s brass. Humans have been using this material for more than 2000 years, and given the current popularity of brass, it’s likely that they’ll still be using it 2000 years into the future, too.
Brass offers a unique, luxury look that basically never goes out of style. Walk into a kitchen that has a 100+-year-old brass sink, and you’ll still be impressed by what it adds to the space. If you’re looking to add a standout touch of beauty to your kitchen, then a brass kitchen sink could well be the way to do it.
Made to Last
Brass doesn’t just look good. It’s also extremely strong and durable. Once you’ve got your brass sink installed, you’ll have peace of mind that you won’t have to think about replacing your sink for a long, long time — if ever. Brass is a resilient material that’s more than capable of taking a beating in its stride and manages to retain its beauty (no rusting or corrosion) for years, provided you give it a little TLC from time to time.
Easy to Clean
The kitchen is a messy place, and that includes the sink. But the quality of your kitchen depends on its cleanliness credentials, so you’ll need to dedicate some time to keeping all aspects of the space, including the sink, free from dirt. When you have a brass sink, you’ll have no such trouble. Brass sinks are easy to keep clean; they just need a wipe down with warm water, while any tarnish can be removed with a store-bought metal cleaning product.
Good for the Environment
Looking to make your home as environmentally friendly as possible? Then a brass sink might be the perfect choice. Since brass is easy to recycle, there’s a high chance that the brass in your sink comes from existing sources. If you ever decide to get rid of your sink, then you’ll have peace of mind in knowing that it can be fashioned into something else.
Copper Sinks: $2500+
There’s much to love about copper sinks. They tend to be large, they look great, and they can be considered an investment in your property because copper tends to increase in value over time. Yes, copper sinks tend to offer homeowners everything that they’d be looking for in a sink, providing a boost to the kitchen’s aesthetic appeal and plenty of functionality. You’ll pay more for a copper sink than you would other sink types, but it’s worth the money — no one ever regrets adding such a luxurious sink to their property.
Benefits of Copper Sinks
Homeowners have plenty of materials to select from when they’re adding a kitchen sink to their homes. But given the choice, many turn to copper, thanks to the elegance and old-time charm that it adds. Need more convincing? Just check out the benefits below.
Rustic, Timeless Look
Copper sinks stand out from the crowd thanks to their rustic, traditional look. With that being said, these sinks aren’t just for use in traditional homes; they’re highly versatile, with a whole host of finishes available. It wouldn’t be right to say that copper sinks are in fashion now (even though they are enjoying a surge in popularity); the truth is that this type of sink has always been popular, and always will be.
Improves Your Kitchen’s Cleanliness
A copper sink won’t only look great; it’ll also help to boost your kitchen’s cleanliness. Brass contains antimicrobial properties, which makes that bacteria — of which there can be a lot in a kitchen — die out more quickly compared with other surface types.
Highly Durable
Copper sinks are made to last. This is a strong, natural metal that stands the test of time. It’s more than capable of standing the test of time, and even though it will pick up scratches after a while, that’s no bad thing — in many cases, these scratches help to add to the value of the sink. They give them character.
An Investment In Your Home
Most people assume that their sinks will lose some of their aesthetic appeal over time. Copper sinks are different. Over time, your copper sink will change color for the better, adding another layer of character to an item that already comes jam-packed with character in the first place.
Workstation Sinks: $3,000+
Workstation sinks are the priciest on the market, but there’s a good reason for it: they’re much more than a sink. They’re designed to handle pretty much all cooking prep and clean-up, allowing homeowners to work efficiently and maximize their kitchen space. They’re the go-to sink for professional chefs, and thanks to their high versatility and the long list of benefits, many homeowners are adding them to their own kitchens.
Benefits of Workstation Sinks
There’s much, much to love about workstation sinks. As we said above, it’s not really far to call them sinks, so they offer so much more. Let’s take a look at some of the key benefits of workstation sinks.
Highly Functional
You think you know what a sink is, and then you see a workstation sink. You’ll get the sink aspect, of course, but you’ll also get a cutting board, dish rack, colander, and more. Basically, whatever you need to do before you make a meal and during the cleanup process, you can do it at your workstation sink.
Maximize Space in Your Kitchen
Not everyone’s lucky enough to have a large kitchen. Even large homes can have a small-than-you’d-like kitchen. In those scenarios, a workstation sink can be a game-changer. Because it’s the Swiss army knife of sinks, you’ll get to save space elsewhere. You won’t need to have an additional area to chop your vegetables when you have a workstation sink. Even if you do have space, the convenience of managing all your food prep in one place can be very welcome.
Improve Your Kitchen’s Aesthetics
Workstation sinks are primarily designed for their functionality, not their aesthetics. But still, many people find that the look of a workstation sink works extremely well with their kitchen decor, especially if they select an appealing material such as copper. You’ll have a lot of options when it comes to the size, style, and material of your workstation sink, so rest assured there’ll be the perfect one for you.
Farmhouse Sinks: $2,500+
Looking for the best of the best when it comes to your kitchen sink? Then a farmhouse sink will be the right way to go. Though these sinks are pricier than most other sink types, they’re well worth the money for homeowners who want to maximize functionality and style at their properties. As the name suggests, you’ll typically find these types in farmhouses and country homes, but more and more people are adding them to their modern homes, too. And given the luxury feel and all-out functionality of these sinks, it’s easy to see why.
Benefits of Farmhouse Sinks
As we said: farmhouse sinks are more expensive than other options, but they’re worth it. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at some of the many benefits of installing a farmhouse sink in your kitchen.
Can Handle the Demand of Busy Homes
If you live alone, then a farmhouse sink probably isn’t the way to go. But if you have a large, hectic family? Then a farmhouse sink can make all the difference. This type of sink is among the largest on the market, which means that you can pile up those pots, pans, and dishes high after a big family meal and still have room to spare.
Long-Lasting
Farmhouse sinks are large and made to last. Indeed, depending on the material that you select for your sink, you may find that it’s the last kitchen sink you ever buy for your forever home. All of the farmhouse sinks we make here at CopperSmith are durable and designed to last for decades, but if you’re looking for the most durable sink, then select a copper farmhouse sink. Those handmade sinks are so strong that they’ll essentially last forever.
Looks Fantastic
There’s a reason why so many interior design magazines have been featuring farmhouse sinks recently: they look fantastic. Your standard kitchen sink, they are not. There’s even some evidence to suggest that a farmhouse sink can help to increase a property’s value. As we said, they’re in fashion. While all farmhouse sinks will help to enhance the look and feel of your kitchen, if you’re really looking to make a splash with your sink, then select copper — the deep, warm color is just irresistible.
