A great way of getting a cool looking sink in a restricted space is investing in a Villeroy and Boch small Belfast sink. These type of sinks are brilliant - they're not only tough and durable, but they also look brilliant against a tiled splashback and coupled with some nice chrome or bronze taps. They can look funky or traditional, dressed up or down - they're like the little black dress of sinks!

I had a wedding in London over the weekend, and I stayed in a lovely hotel in Hampstead. It came as no surprise to see the sinks in the rooms were Vileroy and Boch sinks - these little touches of taste and design were everywhere in the hotel. If you like the feel of boutique hotels, check out our range of Villeroy & Boch sinks at Sinks.co.uk for your bathroom or kitchen.

Back to Villeroy & Boch - we've got tonnes of their products flying out of our show room in Shropshire every week. Villeroy & Boch (or Villeroy Boch, V&B, or just plain VB as they're known in the trade) are one of the oldest names in the trade. For them to stand the test of time, they must be doing something well - you can check out how well they're doing it by scanning our range of their goods.

Here's a picture of a handmade Villeroy & Boch sink, simple, well crafted and designed to last years and years...

One thing that reminds me of growing up, my mum, kitchen smells and all the other lovely things of childhood, is seeing a sink like the above pic - a 1.5 bowl farmhouse ceramic sink.

Homelife revolved around the kitchen and our farmhouse ceramic sink saw a lot of use. My mum actually used to bath me in it when I was a baby. She keeps threatening to show my friends the photos!

To create a warm, familiar and cosy kitchen look, the first place to start is by installing a 1.5 bowl farmhouse ceramic sink - just don't try having a bath in one!

OK, I admit it. I am fanatical about the Villeroy and Boch kitchen sink above. In fact, anything that Villeroy and Boch produce always makes me go a bit gooey. Why? Simple, but classic designs, superb craftmanship and high quality - it all smacks of taste.

 I want it in my kitchen now!
