The right kitchen sink size depends on your benchtop width and how you use the kitchen. Single bowl sinks typically range from 400mm to 700mm wide and suit smaller kitchens or those with a dishwasher. Double bowl sinks (700–900mm) allow simultaneous washing and rinsing and are popular in larger family kitchens. Measure your cabinet opening carefully, as the sink must fit within the internal cabinet dimensions.

Australian kitchens commonly use stainless steel undermount or top-mount sinks, composite granite/quartz sinks, fireclay sinks (popular for farmhouse-style kitchens), and pressed steel enamel sinks. Stainless steel is the most popular for its durability, affordability, and hygiene. Composite stone sinks offer a premium look with good heat resistance. The Blue Space stocks kitchen sinks from Bao Bath, Turner Hastings, Seima, and other leading Australian brands.

An undermount (undermount) sink is mounted below the benchtop with the benchtop material finishing cleanly at the edge of the sink opening, ideal for stone and solid surface benchtops. A top-mount (drop-in) sink drops into the benchtop from above with the rim visible. Undermount sinks are easier to wipe into from the benchtop and look more streamlined; top-mount sinks are more flexible with benchtop material choices.

For easy maintenance, choose a sink with a satin (not mirror-polished) stainless steel finish, it hides scratches and water marks far better. Composite granite sinks are highly stain-resistant and durable. Avoid white enamel or fireclay if your household generates heavy staining (coffee, red wine), as these require more careful maintenance. Look for sinks with a waste included in the package to simplify installation.
