Sink strainer baskets might not be the first thing you think of when you plan your kitchen, however, they're a fundamental part of the kitchen sink planning and can change the way a kitchen sink looks.

Plus they're great for containing all those bitty foody floaty things that we all get going down the plughole.

This bronze strainer is a popular one particularly with the belfast sinks and farmhouse sinks. Stainless steel sinks normally suit our chrome strainers.

In short, farmhouse style sinks conjure up a nostalgia and by fitting one in to your kitchen, it creates a warm, homey feel that completes the room.
