Does Karen realize that she's standing in front of a dated subway tile backslash?

HAHAHA!!! I very much enjoy my double sinks in my angled, two levelled island. Everything about it is practical. I particularly like the bar height level. I use it for crafts, marking papers, organizing, journalling, and a workout barre. Sometimes "trends" have nothing to do with life!!!

[Gunsnwhiskey]

I'm going to second everyone that's defending double sinks! Haha. I redid my kitchen two years ago and chose to go with a double sink again. I think it's so much more practical if you're cooking a lot of things at once. Especially if one side is a garbage disposal. I put small things I'm reusing like measuring spoons on the side WITHOUT the disposal so I don't risk them washing in and becoming unseen only to be ruined when I turn on the disposal. Plus veg prep, pasta, canned beans, tofu, etc. can all be on the food side while the mess is on the dish side. Also NO PORCELAIN SINKS! I had my first one before this renovation and it shattered everything!! Even pyrex. And it didn't usually take a lot of force. I've spent way too much time cleaning glass out of that porcelain sink.

Cutting the corners off of kitchen islands may be outdated, but as a klutz, I appreciate that it'll hurt less when I inevitably bump into them lol

I think people are *finally* coming around to understanding the non-practical aspects of open shelves in kitchens. I’ve always hated them and feel quite happy to see this silly trend die. 😊

[Lilyanna_Foxtrot]

In my rental home, i had a single sink and I hated it!! With no extra sink to rinse my dishes, it took forever to do my dishes! ..but finally they changed it and gave me my double sinks!! 😊

[kathiepierro]

I agree that the single sinks look better. But I find the double sink practical for all the odds and ends that get washed throughout the day (coffee mugs etc). I like to keep a dish drainer in one half. I don’t care for dish drainers on the counter. I agree 100% on all of the other dated trends you mentioned.

[vanessahobbes]

I don’t like the trendy kitchens that look so sterile and cold these days. I don’t like clutter either, but I need my kitchen to have some warmth and texture.

Dated: all white appliances (but not the kind that are intentionally vintage inspired).

[tatiolave]

I have to disagree with you about double sinks, they are very practical!

Farm house kitchen in a house that is not a farm house. Especially with those dumb signs that say "Eat" or "Kitchen" on the wall.

Some of us dont have a dishwasher. I will always have a double sink. To hard to rinse with single basin

[marylhere]

I have a 1955 steel kitchen…it’s dated but I love it. When I first looked at this house my realtor whispered to me I could rip this out and replace it with some cabinets from Home Depot. Th cabinets had never been painted. I sanded, primed and spray painted all 20 doors and four drawers. It’s held up for twenty two years. The worn counter tops I covered in heavy 30 inch wide contact paper….black. Still have a roll or two. I am retiring in a year or two and plan to repaint and recounter.

[marcielston]

Double sink: one with disposal and the other with hot soapy water for soaking before loading the DW. I wouldn't have it any other way. Also my double height island is unashamedly keeping the mess blocked visually. Plus the height change is where my really handy downdraft pops up.

[Sooz]

Excellent points! Sadly, the most dated thing in our kitchen is me...😁

[MinnieMouse]

I love that you mentioned, …”what works for you.” Functionality is key. I miss double basin sinks since I do not like dish washers. For me, they work. As for the open shelves, they’re for decoration, not for functionality, making them a complete waste of time.

[pman]

I will be doing a reno and one thing that is a must for me is a double sink, only the sinks will be the same size. I enjoy washing dishes by hand, so I don't own a dishwasher or plan to in the future. I will have one in the guest/airbnb apartment because most people prefer it.

[TreJ]

Agree with the overhead pan rack and the Tuscany! Always made me feel like a server would suddenly appear and say, “ Welcome to Olive Garden!” But overall, people should do what makes them happy. I like my double sink!!

[hellokittyhk]

I agree that double sinks are out dated, definitely not on trend. But after living with one for 4 years, I don't care! I love my double sink and wouldn't have chosen it myself, glad the house came with one and forced me to try it out

[Telcomvic]

For all of you that love double sinks--how do you lay a pizza pan or sheet pan or cookie sheet flat to soak it? Can you wash a roaster or other large cooking item? I can do that easily in my large single sink. If I need to compartmentalize it--I have a Rubbermaid dishpan to wash some stuff while the other part of the sink can be used for something else.

I’m so happy to finally hear a professional opinion on the open shelves in a kitchen. I just absolutely hate them but their everywhere in new kitchen design. 😂
