Sink Accessories

Sink accessories make a kitchen sink work harder. The right extras turn a plain sink into a practical workstation, and help you prep, rinse and drain food with less mess and less clutter. 

Typical accessories include items that sit in or over the sink, such as colanders, chopping boards and draining racks. They use the space above the bowl, which frees up benchtop and keeps things within easy reach while you cook. 

Fit is the first thing to check. Accessories need to suit your sink's size, bowl shape and rim or ledge, so measure the opening before you buy. Look at the product details for the dimensions, and confirm that the accessory sits securely. 

Think about how you cook. A household that prepares lots of fresh food benefits from a board and colander, while a small kitchen may need only a drainer. Clean accessories regularly, and let them dry fully after use. 

Material and care are worth checking. Stainless steel and timber accessories need different cleaning, so read the care notes and choose items that suit how you use your kitchen each day.
