There’s no doubt that a kitchen sink is one of the most used places in the house. It is that corner of the kitchen where you soak all your vegetables and perishable food items, wash your hands and clean dirty cooking utensils and dishes while you’re preparing meals. Incorporating a kitchen sink in marble will transform the overall look and feel of your cooking space from ordinary to extraordinary.
To begin with, a kitchen sink isn’t just a single accessory; rather, it has an anatomy to it:
- Basin/Sink (support structure for other sink elements as well as the main action centre)
- Rim/Lip (weight-bearing mounting surface for some kitchen sinks, attaching it to the kitchen countertop)
- Drain (channel at the bottom of the sink that carries water and debris away from the sink)
- Fixtures (water supply faucets, dish soap container, knobs, etc.)
What Are The Benefits Of A Marble Kitchen Sink?
- It exudes style and elegance and is a typical feature of high-end and luxurious kitchen spaces
- It is versatile as it can be combined perfectly with other kitchen elements to create a timeless look
- It is highly durable, crack- and heat-resistant when it is sealed properly
What Factors Do You Need To Keep In Mind While Buying A Marble Kitchen Sink?
Marble kitchen sinks are really expensive as compared to other kitchen sink materials. It is also not easy to fix a standard price to it, as the prices of marble kitchen sink designs depend upon several factors like preferred sink measurement (size), colour, shape, style, attached accessories and more.

- Size Of The Kitchen Cabinet: The size of the kitchen cabinet underneath the sink ranges between 18 inches and 27 inches (and more) depending on kitchen space availability
How To Clean A Marble Kitchen Sink?
A marble kitchen sink needs to be regularly cleaned and periodically re-sealed so that it doesn’t lose its original shine and colour. Since marble is a porous material, you need to avoid using abrasive cleaners to clean them like vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, bleach and other acidic substances. Also, don’t use harsh sponges to avoid scratches on the sink’s surface. Instead, clean the marble kitchen sink with a mixture of warm water and dish soap only and rinse off after some time.
Finally, let’s now dive into the most inspiring marble kitchen sink designs that are attracting the attention of homeowners.
Farmhouse-Style Marble Kitchen Sink Design
This farmhouse-style white marble kitchen sink design stands out well in contrast to the patterned tile kitchen backsplash, hardwood flooring and steel-framed cabinets. This type of sink is wide and generously sized so you can easily wash and clean your big pots, pans and casseroles here without any worries. However, if you plan to install a farmhouse-style kitchen sink, then you’ll have to adjust your countertops and cabinets to make room for it.
Integrated Double-Bowl Marble Kitchen Sink Design
If you’re looking for a softer look for your kitchen sink, then you can opt for this integrated double-bowl beige marble kitchen sink design. Blending well with the white walls, stone flooring and laminate cabinets, it makes your kitchen look brighter and airier.
