In life, there are times when two are better than one. Like two scoops of your favorite ice cream, two relaxing vacation days, or two winning lottery tickets. When it comes to kitchen design, Two Kitchen Sinks surely beat one!
What’s so important about having two sinks vs. one sink, or even one with two halves? Read on!
Division of Labor
Having two separate sinks allows you to dedicate one for prep work and one for clean-up. As such, the space around each sink gains its own separate purpose. Keep bowls, colanders, appliances, and prep tools stored within reach of the prep sink. Store silverware, serving pieces, glasses, and dishes near the clean-up sink, which ideally would be located near the dishwasher.
Multiple Cooks in the Kitchen
If there’s more than one cook working at the same time, having two sinks lets everyone work together, yet comfortably apart. With just the one sink, prep and clean-up happens in the same spot, making for a cramped environment no matter how organized and efficient you might be.
Efficiency
If you’re a solo chef extraordinaire, a two-sink set up can still benefit you. It helps prevent dirty dishes and pots and pans from piling up and getting in your way while you cook. It also means you don’t need to stop what you’re doing to clear the sink for another use. That translates into better workflow and efficiency.
Space Allocation
You don’t need a massive kitchen to enjoy the benefits of two sinks. While your clean-up sink should be large enough to fit platters, pots, and pans, a prep sink can have a much smaller footprint. It also can be installed within an island, peninsula, or in any bit of counterspace you’re willing to allocate to that purpose.
