Belfast Sinks: they’re back with a bang!

It’s always a shame to see a traditional kitchen with a stainless steel sink. Take a country cottage kitchen design as an example, you may have solid oak units and worktops, floral ceramic tiles, checkered tiled flooring and perhaps even a cast iron wood burner. Then, if you decide to fit a stainless steel sink, you’re ruining the traditional style.

The Belfast sink has been around for sometime but it’s now enjoying a bit of a resurgence in the UK. These are white, square and made of ceramic, and they are the perfect accompaniment to solid oak worktops. You can buy single or double versions, and they should always be positioned in line with the work surfaces so that they blend into the traditional kitchen seamlessly.

If you have a traditional kitchen, or you’re looking at various classic designs, don’t forget the Belfast sink. They’re just as practical today as they were 100 years ago!
