Bigger.

Heck, I'd go 35.5!

Yikes! My current sink is only 25 inches so even the 30 seems huge to me.

I also just realized the 32 inch size is actually 19 inches wide not 18 so I am not sure if that is a concern with faucet requirements. Aren't cabinets 24 inches deep so would 5 inches be enough to split up between the front and back of the sink?

Where are you finding a 30" wide sink? Seems like all the ones I saw jump from about 27" to 32". A 30 would be perfect for my spot.

Are you looking at a 30" wide include flange? Or 30" wide interior dimension? I'm having a hard time finding one that less than 31-32" wide overall (including flange).

petiepiel,
Another GWer found it for me. She just bought it. Great price too.

Here is a link that might be useful: Kraus 30 inch stainless steel sink

Try to do some imaginary dishwashing with a deeper front-to-back sink and see if the extra inch will bug you. (I think you'll find it just lovely to have extra room in the sink.) The deeper sinks bother my back because the faucet is too far back because I'm short BUT it's still worth it--I just have to get giant faucets. Once I figured that out my problems of oversized sinks were solved. Yes, I do go overboard on sink size, but I don't regret it. (And the Tapmaster foot controller makes it very comfy.)

As far as whether or not you can fit a faucet, your counter (and backsplash) will affect what fits. Remember you add 1.5 to 2" of overhang on the front, so it's possible...good thing to keep in mind though and hopefully someone can guide you on that.

The interior dimensions on the 30'' Kraus are 28''x16''. I really wanted that extra inch and have a 36'' sink base planned so I went for the 32'' which has interior dimensions of 30''x17''.

petepie1, see odiegirl13's notes on the dimensions as she is the GWer who found it for me. :)

Thanks, fori, for the visualization suggestions. I am tall so not as much an issue for me. Besides, hopefully, someone else will be doing the dishes since I am cooking!

I ran the 32 inch size by my granite fabricator and he says it should be fine.

Thanks, all!

Thanks for the update and for pointing me to the Kraus sink. I have a 33" sink cabinet, so was worried that the large 32" sink would be too big looking (it should just fit in the cabinet), but I wanted something larger than the next standard down (appears to be about 23").

The 32'' actually says it will fit in a 33'' sink base so I am assuming it would also work. I have not been through this process and am trusting what they say. Maybe others could chime in if you are interested in trying the 32''.
