1.5 Bowl Kitchen Sinks

1.5 Bowl Kitchen Sinks give you a main bowl for washing and a compact half bowl for rinsing or prep. You choose this layout when you want flexibility without taking up too much worktop. It suits busy homes, small households that cook often, and refurb projects that need a practical upgrade with tidy installation.

Why choose a 1.5 bowl

• Run prep and clean-up at the same time without juggling pans.
• Use the half bowl for veg rinsing, draining pasta, or soaking cutlery.
• Keep the main bowl free for trays and baking sheets.
• Compact widths available for tighter cabinet spans.

Design options, finishes, and features

• Fitting types: inset for quick swaps on laminate; undermount for a sleek edge on stone or solid surfaces.
• Materials: stainless steel for durability, ceramic for a bright glaze, and colour composites for tone matching. Prefer a stone look? See our granite 1.5 Bowl Kitchen Sinks.
• Details: reversible drainers, soft or tight-radius corners, sound pads on many steel models, and pre-scored tap holes on inset sinks.
• Explore makers like Franke for modern shapes and matched accessories.

Common use cases

• Family kitchens needing a separate space for raw and cooked prep.
• Open-plan layouts where quick clean-down helps keep the area tidy.
• Utility rooms that benefit from a small second bowl for handwashing items.

Compatible products and accessories

• Basket strainer wastes, overflows, and plumbing kits sized to the main and half-bowl outlets.
• Boards, racks, and colanders that perch on the bowl or ledge to extend workspace.
• Kitchen taps in chrome, brushed steel, matt black, or warm metallics; pull-out sprays pair well with deep main bowls.
• Featured pick: Leisure Aria 1.5 Bowls Satin Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink—a clean, versatile layout with a tidy satin finish.

Measure your cabinet, choose the fitting style, then match the finish to your tap and appliances. With the right accessories, 1.5 Bowl Kitchen Sinks streamline prep, rinsing, and daily clean-up in one compact setup.
