Do you always feel like there just isn’t enough room in the kitchen? Whether the square footage is limited or not enough counter space was factored into the room's design, a workstation sink could be an ideal solution to add functionality. This kitchen fixture can free up valuable space with convenient and attractive features to prepare meals efficiently and comfortably. Here’s a closer look at this type of sink and how it will streamline your work.

What Is a Workstation Sink?

A workstation sink is designed to be fitted with features that enhance your kitchen experience. They allow you to use this space in a variety of ways throughout meal prep. Some of the most popular features include colanders, cutting boards, drying racks, and bottom grids that combine to form an incredibly versatile kitchen fixture.

What Are the Benefits?

The versatile workstation incorporates meal prep tasks into the sink area, freeing up counter space for other uses. If you’re planning a large meal and need to chop up ingredients, insert the cutting board to instantly turn your sink into a prep station. 

Do the same with the drying rack or colander feature so that you don’t have to reduce the working area. Dirty dishes can still go under the drying rack so that the sink is still functional even if you can't wash up yet.

Your kitchen will be more sanitary, too. When cutting vegetables and meat, residue and juices will go directly into the sink. The drying rack keeps water from accumulating on your counter. Washing up is easier after meal prep since straining and cutting happen right over the sink and won't stain the countertops, and the cutting board and colander will easily fit into the sink for cleaning.
