2017 Sink Designs That Overflow with Beauty


The world of design is really fantastic. Every season, new shapes and colors are presented to us in ways we couldn’t possibly imagine.

That’s no different when it comes to kitchens and bathrooms. These two areas of the home aren’t usually what comes to mind first when we think about home decor, but as far as design goes, we're always being surprised. While functionality is always a concern, designers are able to transform these places into an outburst of style and beauty.

Here are some of the newest trends for kitchen and bathroom sinks according to the top designers and brands.

Kitchen

As far as kitchen sinks go, what we will see in 2017 is a predominance of smart, linear silhouettes and a great use of alternative materials like wood and even bronze. They sometimes come associated with the aluminum, either as a finishing or a countertop. Apron-front sinks are also huge this year.

Bathroom

Free standing sinks and oversized basins continue to be a major trend in 2017, sometimes in very bold designs. As with the kitchen sinks, different materials are being used, in this case, other than ceramic. Designers agree that modern, even minimalist styles are back. Among the chosen colors are:

  • White
  • Truffle
  • Metallic gray
  • Cafe brown

Less is still more in 2017. The tendency of smaller bathrooms make it necessary to reduce the dimensions of toilets, bathtubs and of course, sinks. The example above showcases that trend with a bold use of creative design that doesn’t take much space.
