Sink & Tap
In a tiny kitchen, a single bowl with a pull-out mixer is the space-saving sweet spot. A chopping board that sits over the sink can even turn it into extra bench space. Pricing is shown per country; regions marked "being researched" are coming soon.
Sink & tap options
Single Bowl Sink
One larger bowl. The most space-efficient choice for a tiny kitchen — easier to fit big pots and trays than a split double.
Advantages
- Best use of limited bench space
- Fits large pots and oven trays
- Cheapest sink option
- Less plumbing
Disadvantages
- No second bowl for separating tasks
- Can pile up while one item soaks

Double Bowl Sink
Two bowls for separating washing and rinsing (or food prep). Handy, but takes more bench length — a stretch in a micro kitchen.
Advantages
- Separate wash and rinse
- Good for busier kitchens
- Pairs well with a pull-out mixer
Disadvantages
- Needs more bench length
- Each bowl is smaller
- More expensive

Sink Material (stainless vs granite composite)
Stainless steel is light, cheap and hygienic — ideal for a THOW. Granite/composite looks premium and is quiet, but heavier and dearer.
Advantages
- Stainless: light, cheap, durable
- Composite: premium look, quiet, scratch-resistant
- Both long-lasting
Disadvantages
- Stainless shows scratches/water spots
- Composite is heavier (weight on a THOW)

Mixer Tap (incl. pull-out)
A single lever mixes hot and cold. A pull-out spray head is especially good in a tiny kitchen — it reaches the corners of the bowl and helps with rinsing.
Advantages
- One tap, full temperature control
- Pull-out reaches the whole sink
- Great for compact/double bowls
- Water-saving WELS-rated options
Disadvantages
- Quality models cost more
- Must be WaterMark certified to be installed

Filter / Boiling Tap
A tap that delivers filtered, or instant boiling/chilled, water. A nice-to-have that also saves bench space taken by a kettle or filter jug.
Advantages
- Filtered water on tap
- Saves kettle/jug bench space
- Some give instant boiling/chilled
Disadvantages
- Expensive, especially boiling systems
- Needs under-bench space and power
- More to maintain
