Modern farmhouse design is popular today for a reason. It allows homeowners to embrace tradition and surround themselves with timeless farmhouse charm that makes them feel good—but with a modern twist.
From traditional country farmhouse to contemporary urban condo kitchens, the perfect apron-front sink is a great way to instantly add modern farmhouse style. When choosing a kitchen sink, think beyond the basics of just sink size and bowl depth, and optimize your sink station to its greatest potential!
This iconic sink style originated in large farmhouse kitchens but can now be enjoyed in even the smallest, most compact urban settings. Here are 5 inspiring options I know you’ll love!.
