Farmhouse Sink Drainer?

last year

I am remodeling my kitchen and got a Kraus Turino 33” fireclay farmhouse single basin farmhouse sink (https://www.build.com/kraus-kfr1-33g/s1643529?uid=3893452&searchId=D2vjxCwb9O) It’s beautiful, but now I’m wondering about using a dish drainer. I don’t wash a lot of dishes but I do sometimes and like to rinse a dish before loading the dishwasher. The sink is about 18” x 33”. What have you done for draining dishes in your farmhouse sink?

Firstly never rinse dishes before they go In the dishwasher, only scrape. There has to be food residue for the soap to work properly. To your actual question I have a quilted mat on the counter for when I hand wash, it fits in a drawer when not in use. Mines from ikea but lots of people make them. Much safer for fine glassware

Do you have a grid in the bottom? You could just let items drain on the grid

Will a Farmhouse Sink fit in an Ikea Akrum 30" Sink Cabinet?

Yes, I realize that. I meant here on the Houzz site - or perhaps on the IKEA Hacker's site. It would be great to see exactly how to adjust the non-apron sink cabinet to fit an apron sink. We have to do it nonetheless, so I might take pictures and post if I can't find anything else. Our sink is not as heavy as the 30" sink inserted into into a 30" cabinet, so the framing requirements should not be as stringent. Plus, the methodology there was to combine two cabinets together.

sjhockeyfan beat me to it, my pic would look similar. I used to wash a lot more by hand, but I put almost everything into the new dishwasher. So I don't use it all the time, but when I do, I use it like that. And when I don't, it's SO easy to store. I was horrified when we moved in here and it had a single bowl sink. It was small, but I still found I preferred it to a double. I was equally as horrified when DH picked out our sink. It seemed enormous. But I love having the big ol' single. If I'm washing a couple things, I just grab a big bowl to use as a basin. If I'm washing more, I have a collapsable wash basin under the sink. And if I want to soak something big, I fill the sink (think I've done it twice). I love the flexibility it affords. And thanks for letting me know I can get one at BBB!

Oh no sink base too small for farmhouse sink
Q

Most farmhouse sinks require a special cabinet with shortened doors like in the picture above. If you have the special sink base cabinet - no problem. For remodels that are keeping the cabinets like I did, Kohler makes two apron front sinks in a "short apron" style which can be installed on a standard sink base. The shorter apron does not interfere with the doors on a standard cabinet sink base. Mine is in my "my pics" idea book. If you are using your old cabinets, make sure you ordered the "short apron" style of the Whitehaven. If you are getting new cabinets and specified a sink base for a farmhouse sink, order the standard Whitehaven which has the longer apron front - I think 9 inches rather than the short apron which is 7 inches. (I think those are the dimensions.)

In my business, the cabinet installer sets the farm sink or apron front sink. Then the quartz or granite (or whatever) tops are templated with the sink in place by the countertop fabrication company. Two weeks later, they set the tops....then I send out the plumber for the hookup.

This is what I use, but with a farmhouse sink, you would need a positive reveal on the back and sides

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a grid in the bottom of the sink. I like the roll-up rack, but my sink is an undermount farmhouse so it wouldn’t work.
