Every kitchen needs a sink and faucet. When it comes to selecting these staples, style is secondary, says Max Isley, owner of Hampton Kitchens in Cary, N.C., and a National Kitchen and Bath Association board member. Today’s faucets aren’t just a delivery system for water to the kitchen sink, they’re a style statement. It’s so sinks are taking center stage, as designers and DIY renovators are experimenting with new looks that combine both visual and functional appeal.
