The beauty of a stainless steel sink is that it plays well with other colors and finishes. In the past, homeowners and designers typically paired these sinks with faucets in a stainless finish, but the rules of interior design have changed! Add cool tones with a Gunmetal Grey faucet like the one shown above or go for a mixed-metals approach with Brushed Copper or Matte Black. 

You’ll have plenty of flexibility with the Edge Series of sinks. There are more than 20 options in different configurations, all with a European soft satin brushed finish for an elegant look and excellent durability.
