Get the most use out of your sink with a range of options.The following options can offer you flexibility and optimize your space to fit your particular needs:

Off-center faucets
Sinks with off-center faucet positions offer larger interior basin space. Consider who will be using the faucet. If choosing one with an integral pullout spray head, users should all be right- or left-handed, as added stress on the hose can lead to faucet problems when pulling out and back toward the faucet.

Rear-positioned drains
A rear-positioned drain offers more usable bowl space, and as the plumbing underneath is set further back, also adds the benefit of under-counter cabinet storage.

Extra-deep bowls
Extra-deep bowls are great for soaking larger pots and roasters, but may be troublesome for your back on a daily basis.

Accessories
Many sinks have accessories such as cutting boards, drain baskets, and colanders for practical working solutions.
