Whether you're planning a whole overhaul of a kitchen or bathroom or swapping out the essentials, envisioning how color plays with the space is crucial. Too much color can make the area feel overwhelming and cramped. Adding just enough adds a touch of life and excitement.
Today, we're spotlighting a special lineup of sinks and faucets that play with color beautifully, with suggestions on how to best utilize each in your overall design.
Deep, Vivid Colors: The Crystallite Series
We can't kick off this list without showcasing granite composite sinks. With its multitude of color options, this style is perhaps the most versatile sink of all. But there’s more to this option than its pretty tones. Created with 85% natural quartz, granite composite sinks are built to endure. Our Crystallite series is crafted in Germany, merging environmentally-friendly materials with superior craftsmanship. It holds up well under scratches and stains, making it a perfect choice for repetitive use.
Single Bowl
Wanting to maximize your space? The PL-100 might be the right pick. This spacious option is great for washing larger pots, pans, cooking sheets, and other bulky kitchenware. Available in seven stunning colors, this sink matches a variety of styles. Alpina melds beautifully with bright quartz, like the Calacatta series. Chroma works well with silver-toned quartz, like Pietra Grey or Grey Mist.
If you want the sink to be the true showstopper of the kitchen, consider an apron front. This style sits on top of the cabinetry, exposing the front of the sink, instead of hiding beneath the countertop. Its design is truly timeless and has been popular for decades. With its sleek appeal, it’s not hard to see why.
Workstation
The epitome of kitchen management, workstation sinks are a must for party-hosters and meal preppers. The WS-400 and 500 feature key tools, like a roll-out drying rack, cutting board, and bottom grid. The drying rack lets utensils and bowls dry out, while the cutting board is a great place to chop up ingredients. A bottom grid adds an extra layer of protection from silverware scrapes and clattering dishes.
Double Bowl
Wanting more organization? A double bowl sink lets you prioritize one side for cleaning and organization, and the other for meal prep. Change things up with the PL-175, which features two slightly different size bowls, or keep things uniform with the PL-200.

A Modern Edge: Gunmetal Black Stainless
The Gunmetal style adds a special flair to stainless steel. While stainless is known for its sleek grey design, this option leans into moody tones without holding back. This style gets its unique shade thanks to a special coating called PVD (physical vapor deposition). The sink is carefully placed in a vacuum chamber during its construction, and coated in a thin but durable layer. When the process is complete, the sink maintains all the benefits of stainless steel, but with an expressive, striking shade.
Crafting the perfect bar? Consider the GMB-108. Its small size is a great addition for areas tight on counterspace. Fill it up with ice to chill drinks, or just as a fall-back sink to use if the main sink is occupied.
Bring even more dramatic flair with the apron-front option. The GMB-122 catches attention the moment guests cross the threshold, and is sure to be a conversation-starter with its wide front and deep bowl.
Design Tip: While black does match with a variety of colors and tones, create an even sharper impact by pairing it with Pure White or Super White.
Elevating the Bathroom
When you picture a bathroom sink, you might envision a standard porcelain bowl. And while that style certainly isn’t going anywhere soon, it might be time to shake things up a bit. The PL-3059 or PL-3099 add a bit of unpredictability with their deep tone.
This option works well with a variety of backsplashes and countertop styles. Let the sink be a center of excitement by adding Calacatta veins, or the soft-brushed appeal of Aurora quartz.
Don’t Forget the Faucet
Before you complete your design research, keep in mind one other crucial aspect: the faucet. While it might seem like there’s little room for exploring design options, think again! Faucets have strayed away from typical grey approaches in recent years, ushering in a new world of color.
It’s hard not to feel like royalty when utilizing a Brushed Gold finish. This style catches the light—whether from the window or overhead—and adds a brilliant sheen to the kitchen.
Play with light and dark by pairing a Matte Black faucet with a lighter-color sink or quartz, adding a touch of character to the bathroom.
Oil-rubbed Bronze is truly visually appealing. While it might appear black at first glance, this option, like the PL-8224, gently reflects light while holding onto darker tones.
