Sink Skirts—Love ’Em or Hate ’Em?

It’s the kitchen equivalent to a carpeted bathroom.

Too cutesy. Just saying the other day how much I dislike that look.

It’s easier to change skirt color than doors and lets the air move more freely.

Busy looking, cheap looking. Dust catchers.

It is a love and hate relation. Love the contrast nevertheless humidity can be an issue.

Although I’ve seen some that look super elegant, the reality is that 90 percent of these turn out looking bunched up and just plain tragic. It’s giving mildew.

Hate them. They only look good on a staged photo. Impossible to keep clean if you’re cooking and washing every day.
