Apron Front Sinks for Small Kitchens: Is It Possible?

Apron front sinks are often associated with large, open kitchens—but that doesn’t mean small kitchens are excluded. With the right planning, a farmhouse sink can actually improve functionality in compact spaces.

The key is choosing a properly sized model, typically between 24 and 30 inches wide. A single bowl apron front sink provides generous depth without consuming unnecessary counter space.

Cabinet modifications are often minimal. Many modern farmhouse sinks are designed for standard cabinet widths, making them more accessible than ever.

Visually, apron front sinks can make a small kitchen feel intentional and custom. Their clean lines and bold presence draw attention away from limited square footage.

At I Hate My Sink, we’ve installed farmhouse sinks in kitchens of all sizes. When chosen correctly, they don’t overwhelm small spaces—they elevate them.
