Wall Mount Kitchen Sink

A seductive cousin to a farm sink, the wall mount kitchen sink works in a laundry, utility or mudroom, too.

Meet a wall mount kitchen sink that’s so attractive and versatile it can work in almost any room. Kohler’s Gilford sink is a unique one-piece farm style sink with a plus — the integral backsplash that attaches it to the wall. Technically this is a vitreous china utility or laundry sink in the old-fashioned WWII era style and it requires a wall-mounted faucet. Yet it has all the attributes of a farm sink.

The Gilford comes in two sizes. I think the 30-inch wide sink, that’s 9-1/2-inches deep, suits a kitchen best. (The 24-inch wide option can be used in a bathroom, utility or mudroom as well.)  The combination of good looks, self-contained shape, and no counter top involvement in its installation are strong points. Counters simply sit under the exterior rim. This cheerful yellow color, called Sunlight, is perfect for a cottage kitchen. There also was an artist’s series pattern called “Journey,” which has been discontinued.

Marketed with different faucets from retro bridge to pot filler — and sometimes called a scrub-up, plaster- or laundry sink — Kohler’s Gilford comes in neutral colors including biscuit, almond, white and black.In this kitchen with pale gray cabinets and white subway tile the bottom section is buried in the cabinet leaving a strip of white statuario marble in front. This alternate and elegant way to install the sink makes it look less cottage/country. Similar style wall mount kitchen sinks can sometimes be found in good condition at salvage yards.
