If giving your kitchen a facelift by replacing the sinksounds like something you would like to do, you will need to decide whichreplacement sink is right for you. For ideas on a new sink for your kitchen, avisit to your local hardware store should give you a wide variety of options tospark your imagination. If not, you can go online and get literally thousandsof ideas to find one that you are going to be really happy using for years tocome. Bear in mind, that while there are a vast amount of designs andinformation available online, it is always a good idea to go somewhere you canactually feel and touch the fixtures before making a purchasing decision.Before falling in love with a particular design, you need tomake sure that you are focusing on sinks with the right size and style for yourkitchen. If you will be replacing your existing counter, you can choose prettymuch any sink size. But if you are looking to replace a sink and keep yourcurrent counter, you have to choose a sink that will fit into the currentcounter structure.

Counters typically have a pre-defined size that can beaccommodated without modification. Selecting a sink that is too small or is toolarge will result in a substantial amount of extra work from someone skilled incarpentry.The sink style is also an important consideration. If yourcurrent sink has one basin, you will probably be limited to replacing with asingle basin style sink or, again, be prepared for some serious work on retrofittingthe existing counter. There are some replacement sinks with smaller basins thatwill allow you to replace a single basin model with a dual basin design. Justbe very careful of the size and accept that each basin will be pretty small.This will also require more plumbing to install, but that isn't a major factorin your decision.The last factor in your decision is the color.
