Some things become stereotypes and they’re the reason why you find yourself stuck when trying to come up with an original interior design for your home. For example, when you think of a kitchen sink it’s always the same image that comes to mind: the typical round or rectangular sink in which you wash dishes and nothing more.

But there are lots of other types of sinks and lots of ingenious designs to consider. So open your eyes and your mind and explore some of these options.

Multi-Purpose.

The Biancoronis sink features a multi-purpose design. It has a circular shape, it’s deep and it comes with a series of accessories such as a glass cutting board and a bridge with two stainless steel bowls. They fit perfectly onto the sink and they can be easily rotated.{found on yanko}.

Martini.

The Mystic Martini Sink features a unique design. Shaped like a Martini glass, the sink is definitely unusual. It would look great in a bar and it would be a great conversation piece for parties. Pair it with an olive countertop to take the metaphor even further.{found on site}.

If you’re tired of seeing the same shapes when it comes to kitchen sinks, then how about something a little more unusual? This one has a very interesting design and it can be set into a counter shaped just like it or into the typical rectangular surfaces most kitchens have. Such a sink would be great for a bar and it can be filled with ice, fruit or beverages.{found onflickr}.

Luna.

The Luna Copper Sink is also very interesting. It’s an entertainment sink with an unusual shape and it’s ideal for the bar area. It has two drains and it’s long enough to serve dual purpose. Use one end for one purpose and the other end for another. The sink is 38” long, it’s made of copper and it comes in antique or brushed nickel finishes.{found on site}.
