How to choose the right kitchen

The sink is one of the most-used spots in any kitchen, so choosing the right one that best suits your kitchen needs and aesthetics is crucial. Here’s what to consider:

1. Size first
   Start with the size of your kitchen counter space, if you have a compact kitchen then go for a single-bowl sink with a drainboard for added convenience. Whereas kitchens with larger counter space can easily accommodate double bowl sinks that makes multitasking a breeze. 
2. Material selection
   After considering the counter space, the next is to consider the sink material. Although stainless steel remains a top-choice for its durability, rust resistance and sleek look, quartz sinks are nonetheless behind in terms of durability, heat and corrosion resistance and these also come in stunning finishes. Jayna offers both high-grade stainless steel sinks and quartz sinks in stunning finishes that are built to last. 
3. Mount type
   Choose between top mount or under mount sinks. While under-mount sinks provide a seamless appearance and make countertop cleaning easier, top-mount sinks are simple to install and complement the majority of kitchen types.
4. Bowl configuration
   You may prefer a single or double bowl set up depending on your cooking habits. Also consider how often you wash large pots or multitask while cooking.

A guide to choosing kitchen faucets

The right faucet can make your sink setup more functional and stylish. Here’s what to look for when choosing kitchen faucets:

1. Design & finish
   From sleek chrome to luxurious matte black or elegant gun metal, choose a faucet that complements your kitchen decor and sink finish. Jayna offers stylish kitchen sink mixers in multiple finishes to suit any taste and to elevate any kitchen.
2. Spray type & flexibility
   Pull-out or pull-down sprays are ideal for heavy-duty cleaning and deep sinks. Additionally, some mixers include several spray modes, which are great for washing, rinsing or quickly filling pots.
