Selecting sinks and taps with quality materials and ergonomic design will enhance a pro-style kitchen, according to one report.Home and Garden Television reports that picking long-lasting features will ensure the kitchen design is not overwhelmed.Lily Crossman, kitchen designer for Costa Quality Kitchens, suggests that stainless steel can give a great professional look and advises consumers to choose a quality brand such as Franke.Fellow designer Linda Applewhite says one big sink is more flexible than a double sink and urges homeowners to pay particular attention to the finish on taps to ensure a clean, professional look that will last a long time.Sue Adams adds that homeowners should not scale back the budget for taps.People are amazed that just a faucet [tap] might cost in the hundreds of dollars, but the faucet is the item you use and touch most often in the kitchen and you really need one you like thats durable, she says.Dont be afraid to spend big dollars on a quality faucet. It will pay off.Last week the Poughkeepsie Journal reported that the purpose of a kitchen sink has evolved from a place simply to wash up to a thing of beauty.
