Farmhouse sinks have long been a favorite in kitchen design, known for their deep basins and timeless apron-front silhouette. But today, this traditional fixture is getting a bold, colourful update—thanks to KOHLER. With the brand’s latest innovations in material and design, the classic farmhouse sink is being reimagined for a new generation of homeowners who value both style and functionality.
A Fresh Take on a Classic Style
KOHLER has reimagined the traditional farmhouse sink with a vibrant palette and updated materials that blend timeless design with modern flair. The new range of colourful sinks brings life to the kitchen while maintaining the deep basins and apron-front silhouette that make farmhouse sinks so practical. It’s no longer just about function—it’s about expressing personality through thoughtful design.
The Return of Heritage Colours
KOHLER’s Heritage Colours collection celebrates the brand’s 150-year legacy with iconic hues like Peachblow and Spring Green. Originally launched in the 1930s, these vintage colours have been revived to give homeowners more expressive choices. When applied to the Iron Ridge™ farmhouse sink, these colours turn a functional element into a focal point.

Performance Meets Personality: Iron Ridge™ Cast Iron Sinks
The Iron Ridge™ sink itself exemplifies modern performance wrapped in classic charm. Crafted from KOHLER’s durable enameled cast iron, it resists scratches, burns, and stains—an ideal combination for busy kitchens. Its wide, deep basin accommodates large cookware with ease, while the distinctive apron front enhances both comfort and visual impact.#

Sophisticated Neutrals in Neoroc® Composite
Colour doesn’t end with cast iron. KOHLER has also introduced the Neoroc® farmhouse sink—a matte, composite material that combines a contemporary look with quiet durability. Available in rich neutrals like Matte Black and Matte Brown, Neoroc® offers a soft, stone-like finish that complements a range of design aesthetics, from urban to rustic.

Coordinated Design Made Simple
Choosing the right material and colour is key when selecting a farmhouse sink. KOHLER makes this easy by offering finishes that coordinate with faucets, hardware, and countertops. Whether you prefer a bold, retro hue or a subtle modern tone, there’s a KOHLER sink that brings your vision to life.
Easy Installation with Self-Trimming® Design
Installation, often a concern for homeowners, has also been thoughtfully addressed. KOHLER’s Self-Trimming® design simplifies installation by requiring only a rough cabinet cut, which can save time and reduce labor costs. Available in standard widths like 30 or 33 inches, KOHLER farmhouse sinks are designed to fit most base cabinets with minimal modification.
Comfort and Ergonomics in Everyday Use
Beyond style and installation, the ergonomic design of the farmhouse sink remains one of its greatest advantages. The forward orientation of the basin reduces the need to lean in, providing better comfort during meal prep and cleanup.
A Standout Feature in Any Kitchen
With KOHLER’s new offerings, the farmhouse sink is no longer just a practical choice—it’s a design centerpiece. The combination of expressive colour, heritage craftsmanship, and innovative materials positions KOHLER as a leader in the evolution of the American kitchen.
For homeowners planning a kitchen remodel or simply looking to make a bold upgrade, KOHLER’s colourful farmhouse sinks are a compelling option that proves functionality and personality can go hand in hand.
