13 Farmhouse sink kitchen ideas for a timeless appeal

Farmhouse kitchen sinks are the perfect blend of functionality and practicality resulting in a classic design that complements a wide range of interior designs. The hallmark deep basin makes them a must for accommodating large pots, dishes, and pans in a busy kitchen. However, there are several design options available that feature a more shallow depth and a variety of designs on the apron front.

Below, you can find the most inspiring kitchens with farmhouse sinks for you to explore and inspire your remodel.

Pair a Farmhouse Sink with a Green, Tan, and White Color Scheme

As mentioned above, farmhouse kitchen sinks aren’t limited to large basins, meaning that there are shallower designs available for a more subtle look. The white square backsplash in this farmhouse kitchen design coupled with the bright white of the sink provides perfect contrast to the darkness of the olive green cabinetry without taking too much away from the overall style.
