Design Notes
The kitchen sink is probably one of the most important elements in the kitchen, since it’s where we wash dishes, rinse food, and wash our hands. There are so many options, such as stainless steel, porcelain, and ceramic. Then, of course, there are multiple styles and sizes. At Greenbrook, we are always looking for new items that will meet a need for our clients, and sinks definitely are one of them, which is why we are an authorized dealer for the Karran Sinks.
What Is A Karran Sink?
Based in the USA, Karran is one of the leading manufacturers of sinks and faucets for the kitchen and bathroom. Their goal is to create a sink that is not only durable but also suitable for any design or layout. They are one of the first companies to manufacture acrylic sinks, ones that can be seamlessly undermounted to solid surfaces.
What Are The Benefits?
These sinks are built to last and backed by a company that cares about quality. Another interesting feature of the Karran sinks is the sound-deadening padding located underneath and on all four sides of their stainless steel bowl. This means that when something drops, it doesn’t ring in your ear like the typical stainless steel sink.
Their sink line is also heat resistant up to 530 degrees F, meaning that Karran sinks won’t crack under pressure. Plus, they are easy to clean, which is a huge advantage on its own since no one likes scrubbing the kitchen sink.
What Are Your Options?
They offer four different material choices:
- Stainless steel: This is a great option for a more modern design or for multiple uses. They also offer a workstation in this material.
- Acrylic: These sinks, when taken care of, have a beautiful shine and are durable.
- Quartz composite: This is a mix of quartz and acrylic, making it less likely to crack.
- Vitreous china: This option is only available for their bathroom line and is a ceramic sink that has an enamel coating.
These materials come in multiple styles that will reflect your unique design. You can browse their full line here.
Walker WoodworkingThis deficiency has led to a readjustment of space, a call to renovate the home, and to provide a more functional design for everyone. There are also other reasons motivating homeowners to reevaluate their current living situation, such as greater flexibility at home, an open concept, personal space, and plenty of storage. While kitchens and bathrooms are still among the most renovated areas in the home, new emphasis is being placed on four additional sections in the home, which we want to highlight today.
Walker WoodworkingYou love your home, but there are some areas that are no longer working for you, if they ever did at all. You have made the big decision to renovate your kitchen, to give yourself the space you have always envisioned, but it feels overwhelming. How do you know which layout will work best for you? Which style best represents you, and what wood type will pair perfectly with certain colors? The kitchen can be a more difficult renovation because it involves multiple facets, such as plumbing and electrical. Adding in the appliances, lighting, and cabinets decisions can be enough to make your head spin. Planning is a critical part of a kitchen renovation, making it a key area of focus, which is why an experienced designer can help you accomplish your dreams on time and on budget.

Walker Woodworking The kitchen sink has often been used to describe someone who packs everything they can think of when going on a trip, but in reality, it is a vital part of the kitchen and one of the most frequently used elements. It’s how we maintain a clean environment as we wash our hands, food, countertops, and dirty dishes. Our entire meal prep revolves around the sink since it is where most of the food is cut and prepared to be turned into a delicious dish for the family, and all the pots are filled. With so much happening around the sink, and it fulfills many roles, the type you choose is important. It should have the capacity to do everything needed in one easy design, which is why Greenbrook Design is proud to be a dealer for the Galley Workstation, a company that has reinvented the sink. Let’s talk about what it is and why you should choose it for your new kitchen sink.
Home is more than just a place to prepare for the next day, to sleep at night, and to eat your meals. It is a place where memories are made. It is where you can take a break from your routine and do something fun with your family. While everyone enjoys gathering in the kitchen, it is not the most ideal area of the home to play a board game or watch a movie. Many homeowners enjoy the idea of having a separate area where the kids can play, or they can host a Super Bowl party. Carving out a place in the home dedicated to just fun is a great way to enjoy family time without worrying about making a mess. Let’s talk about some ways to build your home for entertainment.
