The location of the sink in your kitchen should be a part of your kitchen design right from the beginning. Choosing the location for the sink will require arranging for Plumbing, drainage, electricity, etc. Also, in Indian kitchens you are allowed to walk around the stove, but not around the sink. Therefore, the installation of the sink should be done with special care.

Here are some factors to consider:

  1. Kitchen Style

The shape and style of your kitchen often determines the location for the sink. For example, in island kitchens most sinks will be installed on the island rather than on the wall counter. The reasons for this vary from comfort to style.

However, if your kitchen is small, make sure you place the sink in a way that leaves enough free space on the countertop. For example, in a U-shaped kitchen, the sink can be placed in the middle (bottom of the U) or at one end of the U. However, in L-shaped or single-wall kitchens, placing the sink at the end of the countertop is a better solution.

  1. Lighting

Lighting is an important factor that often receives very little attention in Indian kitchens and bathrooms. The kitchen sink is one place where you need to ensure proper lighting to achieve the desired look. Appearance matters if you want to keep the place clean.

If you plan to place the stove in the kitchen near the window, the sink will automatically move to the far corner. With this arrangement, you should ensure adequate artificial lighting around the sink.

You'd definitely want the dishwasher and sink to be next to each other. This will make loading the dishwasher easier and more efficient; you can easily scrape or rinse plates in the sink before putting them in the dishwasher.
