MAKE A STATEMENT

Give a fresh feel to a classic style with a Belfast or Butler sink in a dramatic colour, then team it with your worktops for added impact. ‘We chose a black Belfast sink in this oak Henley kitchen,’ says Meaghan Hunter, Neptune. ‘Not only is this a modern take on a classic, it also blends seamlessly with the work surface and sets off the black-bronze handles beautifully.’

1 HANDCRAFTED COPPER

This copper beauty is handcrafted in a wooden mould and subtly hammered to achieve its rustic style. Copper doesn’t just look beautiful, it’s recognised for its anti-bacterial properties too, making it a great choice for a kitchen sink. Whether you keep it polished or let it develop a rich patina is up to you. There’s the option to have it oxidised for a beautiful burnished effect as well.
