Farmhouse Sink
The farmhouse sink has been on-trend for a while now, but think twice before following the herd. From installation to use, these sinks can prove pesky. For instance, some models will affect your countertops when installed, while the cabinet it sits on may need to be retrofitted as well. Furthermore, some materials, like fire clay, are notoriously tough on dishes.

While ceramic tile is almost impenetrable after being fired in a kiln, cement tile, which is cured at room temperature, is porous, which means pretty much everything that lands on it shows.

Faux finishes like man-made quartz for countertops are trending right now, but you might want to avoid them. Granite can almost always be repaired, but there’s typically no repairing damaged man-made stone.
