I'm changing from a white sink to a SS kitchen sink. The faucet is shiny chrome. The sink has more of a dull brushed finish. Should I get a new faucet or do you think it will look fine? Any answers appreciated, especially if you have done this yourself! :)
Chrome looks good with any sink. Matte finish hides water mineral spots, but, doesn't look as clean.
It depends where it goes and what is its intended use. A standard stainless steel double sink for the kitchen. Why? You wash dishes on one side, rinse water on the other side and into dish-tray to dry. If there are too many pots and pans in the wash up, I drain the rinse water in the cleaner sink and leave the pots and pans in there to drip dry. After a couple hours everything can be put away as drying towel is not needed. So simple. Much more of a hassle with just a single sink. Also shows a "cheap builder" Sure a double "may" cost a few more bucks. The practicality outweighs the cost. And considering you have enough counter space. Why stainless steel? What are your knives, forks, spoons, and pots made out of? If you use them to cook food day after day, stainless-steel is the only way to go. And the sinks should be identical in size (for we are all not right handed - and if you wanted to sell the house later--the left handers will decide right there(because the plumbing would have to be changed for them to flip the sink around) Extra cost so they will try to have the price reduced by that much or so. No flexibility, no sale.
thats what I have now and it looks fine
