HOW TO PLAN FOR TWO SINKS IN THE KITCHEN

If you are planning to remodel your kitchen in the future, you should definitely consider installing two sinks. A double sink formation can significantly enhance your kitchen’s workflow. In addition, the setup makes working in the kitchen as every tool is within its designated boundaries.

1. Your main priority should be the prep sink

You can be able to talk to them directly as you prep the meal. Alternatively, you can place it facing the window if you have a beautiful view outside.

The dishwashing sink is of lesser importance here because you spend less time washing dishes than you do prepping food. In addition, most people clean their dishes after dinner, so there really is no need for the perfect view.

2. Find the ideal size of the sink
