For homeowners looking to install new sinks and faucets this year, they’ll likely encounter some popular trends developing in the world of home improvement. New styles, colors and technological features are emerging in 2025.

But are they viable options for metro Atlanta homeowners? Before we answer this question, let's take a look at some growing sink and faucet trends to figure out why they’re becoming so popular.

Kitchen Sink and Faucet Trends for 2025

Industrial-style sinks: This type of sink is modeled after the industrial sinks typically used in restaurants. While similar, the ones designed for residential kitchens are typically smaller and paired down. Industrial-style sinks not only fit modern home aesthetics but they are practical for cleaning large dishes and food preparation. 

Pull-down and pull-out faucets: Industrial sinks usually come with pull-down (or pull-out) faucets. These types of faucets are gaining traction since they’re easy to use and can move in a variety of ways. They are particularly helpful for cleaning deep pots. 

Vintage-inspired styles: These sinks have a vintage look, but come with modern technologies. Vintage-inspired sinks typically have more detailing on the faucet, and come with hot and cold handles. These handles are mostly cross knobs or levers.

Matte Bronze, Gold and Black finishes: Darker colored Matte finishes are in style. While Black was a popular choice last year, its popularity is on the decline. Matte Bronze and Gold are increasing in demand. These types of finishes work well with modern and vintage-style kitchens. 

Touchless faucets: Touchless faucets are becoming popular because they reduce the transmission of germs, are convenient to use and help homeowners save on water consumption. 

Are Industrial-Style Sinks a Good Option for Atlanta Homeowners?

Because of Georgia’s hot and humid climate, industrial sinks are a practical option for many Atlanta homeowners. Industrial-style sinks are typically made from stainless steel, which is incredibly durable. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and the effects of humidity.

Additionally, industrial-style sinks fit the aesthetics of modern, and newly constructed homes. This is especially important for new homeowners who are buying their first properties around the metro Atlanta area. 

While industrial sinks are popular and affordable, they do come with downsides. Stainless steel sinks typically have shorter lifespans than nickel or brass ones. While stainless steel has some resistance to scratches, they are not entirely immune to them.

What About Vintage-Inspired Sinks?

Vintage-inspired sinks are also a great option for homeowners who live in the more historic parts of metro Atlanta. These types of sinks and faucets allow you to have modern convenience while maintaining a retro aesthetic. 

Vintage-style sinks are typically made from fireclay, cast iron and copper. While these are very durable materials, they tend to be on the more expensive side. Another factor to consider is that fireclay is not susceptible to corrosion, but cast iron and copper are. 

While both cast iron and copper can form protective patinas to slow down the erosion process, they are more susceptible to humidity than other materials. Because of this, they may require more maintenance to combat the effects of the Georgia climate. 

Matte Finishes and Touchless Faucets

Matte finishes are a popular choice and when paired with a stainless steel sink, tend to hold up against corrosion, making it a relatively safe option for metro Atlanta homeowners. However, this may not be the case if the finish is applied to other materials. Matte finishes are also susceptible to scratches, but it takes a long time for wear and tear to develop. 

Touchless faucets are a great feature for homeowners since they prevent the spread of germs. Also, touchless faucets are easy to use and ensure that your faucet stays cleaner over a longer period of time. However, they may not be available to all metro Atlanta homeowners due to their cost.
