Urbane II Coloured Sinks & Accessories

Caroma Urbane II coloured sinks bring the Urbane II kitchen sink shape into Brushed Brass and Gunmetal finishes, available in single and double bowl, with matching accessories including a basket waste in the same finish, a bamboo chopping board and a stainless steel colander.

Why choose a coloured kitchen sink over stainless steel

A standard stainless steel sink disappears into the benchtop, which is exactly the point for most kitchens, but it also means the sink does nothing to carry through a colour scheme you've already committed to elsewhere. If your kitchen tapware, cabinetry hardware or appliances are already running in brass or gunmetal tones, a matching sink in the same finish ties the room together instead of introducing a contrasting stainless element in the middle of it. It's a deliberate design statement rather than a default choice, which is why it tends to suit kitchens where the finish palette has already been decided.

Brushed Brass and Gunmetal, and where each one fits

Brushed Brass suits warmer kitchen palettes, timber cabinetry and traditional or transitional styling, and it pairs naturally with brass tapware, cabinetry pulls and pendant lighting already common in that kind of kitchen. Gunmetal reads darker and more industrial, suiting kitchens with black or dark timber cabinetry, matte black tapware and a more contemporary overall look. Both finishes are applied across the Urbane II sink shape in the same single and double bowl configurations as the standard range, so choosing a colour doesn't mean compromising on bowl layout.

Matching accessories that complete the sink

The coloured sink accessories are what separate this collection from simply browsing the main Urbane II range by finish. A basket waste in matching Brushed Brass or Gunmetal continues the finish down into the drain fitting, avoiding a mismatched chrome or stainless waste under a coloured sink. The bamboo chopping board sits over the bowl for extra prep space and protects the sink surface from direct cutting, while the stainless steel colander drops into the bowl for rinsing and draining without scratching the finish. Together they make the coloured sink a more complete kitchen workstation rather than just a bowl and tap.

Choosing single or double bowl in a coloured finish

Single bowl suits kitchens with limited benchtop width or households that don't need to separate washing and food prep at the sink. Double bowl gives you that separation, useful if you're often washing dishes and prepping food at the same time, or if you want a dedicated bowl for a dish rack. Both configurations are available in Brushed Brass and Gunmetal, so the choice comes down to your kitchen layout rather than the finish limiting your options.

Fitting a coloured sink into your kitchen design

Because Brushed Brass and Gunmetal are strong, deliberate finishes, it's worth confirming the rest of your kitchen's hardware, tapware and lighting finishes before committing, since a coloured sink works best as part of a coordinated palette rather than an isolated feature. Pairing the sink with its matching basket waste is the easiest way to make sure the finish carries through consistently under the benchtop as well as on top of it.
