In decorating and design, it’s a lot of fun to look for ways to switch things up. Taking a chance on something unexpected can make for some of the best design elements. One way to do that in a kitchen or bathroom is by opting for a dark sink.

Most kitchens and bathrooms have a white, off-white or stainless steel sink. It’s rare to see something darker such as black, dark grey or even copper. Changing up this simple element can make a statement in the space and even help you create a “wow” factor.

Here are 10 examples of dark sinks in kitchens and bathrooms to show you how versatile and compelling they can be.
