Farmhouse Sink Buying Guide

Reminiscent of yesteryear, apron-front or farmhouse sinks make any kitchen feel more inviting.

Farmhouse sinks are often deeper than average kitchen sinks and are available in single- and double-bowl configurations and in a variety of materials, including cast iron, fireclay, stainless steel, copper, and granite. Costs vary by material, but these stylish sinks tend to come with a high price tag. Because they are heavy and feature an apron front, they require a special base cabinet, so ask your cabinet dealer or designer what's required.
