Good morning,
We are currently planning (well, actually for quite a while now) an IKEA kitchen; all self-installed. The main focus is the quartz countertop (flush-mounted black granite sink), and since it needs to be measured first, plus an estimated delivery time of about 6 weeks, we need a temporary solution.
Details:
Glossy white kitchen
IKEA black speckled ready-to-buy countertop
Now, to the question: since the kitchen is a bit tricky in terms of the countertop and therefore a bit more costly, it might be that the “regular” countertop will stay with us longer than originally expected.
I’m considering what would be better: the stainless steel sink (in the well-known silver finish) or the white ceramic sink?
I want to keep costs relatively low; otherwise, I would just choose the black granite-look sink. But that costs 199 euros.
The smaller sinks in stainless steel or ceramic are cheaper.
The faucet will be a Grohe Red, a boiling water tap in stainless steel.
But I assume ceramic is better quality.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Hochglanz

Juliette W20 May 2015 15:27Hello Hochglanz, I used to have a stainless steel sink at home until a few years ago when I had a really nice granite sink installed. For our current move, I bought the same one again. It’s not from IKEA, but it looks great in my new IKEA kitchen.
There are also very affordable stainless steel sinks that will reliably do their job for about a year. Maybe you can find a used one for a few euros to use during that time.

Coletrickle_780825 May 2015 14:30I bought a ceramic sink because I don’t like stainless steel, and granite tends to absorb stains over time, especially lighter colors.
Ceramic sinks from Villeroy & Boch or SystemCeram are hardened differently than regular ceramic products. They are extremely durable.
