So you’ve decided to build yourself a tiny home—congratulations! Most people don’t give much thought to their kitchen sink, but this is an essential choice in a tiny home kitchen lacking extra space. We’ve put together nine tiny house kitchen sink ideas most commonly seen in tiny homes to help you make this decision a little easier!
9 Tiny House Kitchen Sink Ideas
1. Farmhouse Sink

A deep, wide basin with an exposed front, perfect for adding rustic charm while maximizing space for washing dishes and prepping food.
What we love about a farmhouse sink in a tiny home: This sink is very deep, which means a few small dishes left in it won’t be seen by guests, keeping the kitchen looking nice until you’re ready for dishes.
What we don’t love about a farmhouse sink in a tiny home: This is a minor annoyance, but the flat bottom makes it less easy to wash bits of food down than other sinks.
2. Drop-In Sink

Out of all our tiny home kitchen sink ideas, this sink is the most common. Also known as a top-mount sink, this design is easy to install and provides a sturdy, classic look with a lip that rests on the countertop.
What we love about drop-in sinks: They’re easier to install, saving you some time and/or labor costs. They’re also fairly inexpensive compared to other sinks.
What we don’t love about drop-in sinks for a tiny home: They don’t sit flush, or under the lip of the counter, so you can’t brush crumbs from the counter straight into the sink.
3. Corner Sink

A smart solution for awkward kitchen layouts, this sink fits snugly into a corner, freeing up valuable counter space.
What we love about corner sinks in a tiny home: Where space is already at a premium, the corner sink means a larger section of counter space is free, instead of the counter being divided between the sink.
What we don’t love about corner sinks in a tiny home: We had trouble coming up with one, but a possible negative might be that the sink is potentially further away from the pantry and refrigerator, depending on your tiny house layout.
4. Single Bowl Sink

A simple, single-basin sink that optimizes space without compromising functionality, ideal for compact kitchens.
What we love about a single-bowl sink in a tiny home: It’s small, which means we’re less likely to let dishes pile up.
What we don’t love about a single-bowl sink in a tiny home: It’s small, which means if we do let dishes pile up, it looks cluttered much quicker.
5. Double Bowl Sink

For those who need multi-tasking capabilities, a double bowl sink allows you to wash dishes on one side and prep on the other.
What we love about a double-bowl sink: It’s nice to have one bowl for washing dishes and another for rinsing them as you go. It definitely makes dishwashing much easier.
What we don’t love about a double-bowl sink: Each bowl is on the smaller side, which makes it slightly more difficult when rinsing dishes.
6. Bar Sink

A smaller sink option that can be used as a secondary prep sink or for quick clean-ups, perfect for tiny kitchens with limited counter space.
What we love about a bar sink for a tiny home: It saves space, which is crucial if you have a really tiny home.
What we don’t love about a bar sink for a tiny home: You’ll be limited in what you can do, due to this sink’s small size. But it’s definitely doable if you’re short on space!
7. Sink with Integrated Cutting Board

A sink that comes with a custom cutting board that fits over the top, turning the sink into a prep station and saving space. If you already have your sink, you can still order one to fit your sink.
What we love about a cutting board over a sink: If you can order a custom-fit cutting board at the same time as your sink, it will save you so much space! Plus, it looks so pretty when the sink isn’t in use.
What we don’t love about a cutting board over a sink: The cutting board must be moved out of the way every time you want to use the sink.
8. Sink with Drainboard

An all-in-one sink with an attached drainboard, ideal for air-drying dishes without taking up additional counter space.
What we love about a sink with a drainboard: It makes washing fruits and vegetables so much easier, and they can be left to dry right on the drainboard.
What we don’t love about a sink with a drainboard: The drainboard takes away sink space.
9. Copper Sink

When it comes to tiny house kitchen sink ideas, this one is our favorite. A copper sink is a beautiful, handcrafted option that adds warmth and a unique, vintage touch to any tiny house kitchen.
What we love about a copper sink in a tiny home kitchen: It’s gorgeous and makes a real statement piece!
What we don’t love about a copper sink: Absolutely nothing!
