Although it’s an unexpected place to make a style statement, the kitchen sink and mixer should be given special attention when you’re redesigning the hub of the home. Highly functional, kitchen sinks and mixers are now available in an array of materials, shapes, and colours to complement the design and aesthetic of the kitchen.

Here’s a look at the latest trends in sinks and mixers for the contemporary kitchen.

We’re saying farewell to the classic stainless steel kitchen sink as other materials are being explored.

“It has also become an affordable way to create an interesting focal point without incurring significant costs. Customers are looking for functionality, versatility and durability. The quartz composite sinks we stock are stain-, scratch- and heat-resistant.”
