2022-06-22
Think of a rural kitchen in the days before running water, and you'll probably picture a washstand, a forerunner of the modern kitchen counter.
Also known as an apron sink, a farmhouse-style sink features a deep basin and an exposed front that sits flush with your cabinets and countertops. With a touch of country charm, this type of sink offers a number of functional benefits that make it a great choice for many kitchens.
Many people use the terms "farmhouse" and "apron-front" or handmade apron kitchen sink interchangeably, but they're actually not the same. Both sinks share similar characteristics, namely their deep basins, undermount sink ,large size, and exposed fronts, but purists will argue that it isn't a true farmhouse sink unless it's made from a certain material (porcelain or fireclay) and has an integrated workstation.
Although they're often referred to synonymously, there are slight differences that distinguish the two styles: Traditional farmhouse kitchen sinks fall under the apron-front category and have an integrated wash station or drainboard and high backsplash. They're fashioned from porcelain and cast iron, while apron sinks are a modern moniker that refers to sinks with an exposed front fashioned from a variety of materials including stainless steel, natural stone, and copper.
