I have a double right now (one large, one small) and I use the small one to drip dry anything that doesn't go in the dishwasher. It's convenient, but even so I'm planning to switch to a single large sink in the future. I haven't found any double sinks that I really like, but I will admit I haven't seen a great solution to drip drying pots and pans. I really do use that second sink a lot (even if I towel dry my pots, which I don't usually bother to do, I still have to have a place to put them until I've finished the dishes). Most dishracks I've seen are intended for plates and utensils, which I just put in the dishwasher. If I can find a good dishrack for pots and pans, then I will be very happy with a large single basin sink I think.

Now, that's an idea. There's only three of us in the house, but I love cooking. I do it as a hobby, as well as for the three of us, and, I regularly have people over for a meal. Shall investigate half size dishwashers. I suspect a dishdrawer is the way to go as my friends had a single one in their little apartment.

@mlk01, You are right about the message button, I have it on my profile but no one else seems to so that's odd! If you click on my profile for example, you will see on the top line right beside the profile picture: Your house, Ideasbook, Bookmarks, Activities, Messages. In fact I remember that when anyone typed a reply like I'm doing now, you used to be able to click a "private" button, which meant only the person you were typing to saw your comment. Perhaps Houzz can answer these anomalies?? I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, never got into it and have no reason to do so anytime soon ha-ha As for talking privately to someone, you could post your email address here as could oklouise and delete it whilst you are still able to edit, as I've done once in the past. Just not sure how long the edit feature lasts.

we think you mean 1800 mm wide (left to right) and 460 mm deep (ie front to back?) why not make a newspaper paper cut out for the sizes you're considering and then add different size and shaped basins to see how it feels ...one important point to consider is not only would a deeper basin have more counter space which is usually good, it will also use up floor space which can make a HUGE difference for opening doors and architraves around doorways and for shower entry and standing and walking room so check the size and shape of the room first and then see how everything fits together although i'm hoping that if you are aiming for an 1800mm wide vanity that the room will be quite generous...btw if you like curves you may like to consider having a vanity cabinet made with curved edges as well as adding a curved sink
