Struggling With Your Kitchen Sink? Here’s Why the Bowl Type Might Be the Problem

You use your kitchen sink every day—so why does it still feel like a struggle?

Whether you’re constantly splashing water, running out of space for dishes, or juggling between rinsing and soaking, the real issue might not be your faucet or layout. It could be that you simply have the wrong bowl type.

A double bowl sink can be a nightmare when trying to wash oversized pots or baking trays. You twist, turn, and still can’t get the pan to fit without hitting the divider. If you feel like your sink is always working against you, that center wall might be the culprit.

On the flip side, a single bowl sink might look sleek, but it can create a different kind of chaos. There’s no way to separate clean from dirty, and rinsing veggies while soaking dishes becomes a juggling act. You either sacrifice hygiene or convenience—neither is a great option.

And let’s not forget the cleanup drama. Ever tried scrubbing a roasting pan in a sink that’s too small? Or found yourself with a pool of cold, greasy water because there’s nowhere to rinse off in a single bowl setup? These aren’t minor annoyances—they’re daily frustrations that wear you down over time.

The truth is, most homeowners don’t think twice about their sink style—until it becomes a problem. But when you choose the right type for your cooking, cleaning, and kitchen rhythm, everything changes. Tasks get easier. The space feels more functional. And most importantly, you stop hating your sink.

At I Hate My Sink, we help you make that switch. Whether you're ditching a cramped double or tired of a too-basic single, we’ll guide you toward the sink that fits how you actually live.

Because no one should have to fight with their kitchen sink every day.
