Kitchen Remodeling Tips Selecting A Kitchen Sink Number of BASINS / BOWLS The next thing to consider is the number of basins or bowls that you'd like to have.  Typically there are single, double and triple basin sinks.  And typically the more basins you have the more expensive the sink gets.  However, since sinks can range in material, they can also range in price. The main thing to consider when selecting the number of basins you'd like is functionality.  Do you prefer to have one giant working space when you are washing dishes.  Perhaps an industrial style sink if you plan to be making stock and things that require big dishes.  Or perhaps you like two sinks.  One side for dirty and the other for the clean ones.  Whether it's 1, 2 or 3 basins in your sink, think about how you plan to use your kitchen and that should help you decide how many basins to choose. In the next section we’ll cover SIZE and figure out exactly how big of a sink you're going to need.
