If you are looking to inject a boost of positivity and personality into your home, pink is the perfect colour to consider while designing your interior upgrade.You can easily add pink to an existing kitchen installation by introducing pink appliances and pink kitchen accessories, or even just a lick of blush paint.Working very well with white marble worktops or, on the contrary, can add stunning, contrasting drama with a grey/dark theme. Pink can work with your prefered style. A soft, subtle shade of rose is nurturing and cosy if you are looking to create a peaceful space.

Each design of sink is hand modelled in plaster, formed slightly oversize to allow for the natural clay shrinkage that occurs through the production process. From here we make the reverse plaster mould, which will be dried for up to two weeks in dedicated temperature-controlled rooms. This ensures optimum production performance and dimensional consistency.#HandmadeInEngland #WhitebirkHandmadeProcess

As with tiles, both laminate and glass splashbacks can be used to make a style statement.This simple, crisp white kitchen design has been elevated with the personality and character provided by the beautifully patterned splashback. This playful pattern contrasts with the simple wooden cabinets. However, it has stuck to a neutral colour scheme to avoid overwhelming the space.Perfectly paired with the Mellor sink from our Heritage Collection, we love this sleek, modern kitchen with a traditional touch.#HandmadeInEngland #WhitebirkHandmadeProcess

We love to see our sinks being used in creative ways! Our Samlesbury sinks are fitting in perfectly at this pottery studio in Leeds! Thank you for the images! • @sunkenstudioleeds At last 🙌 sinks galore! & pretty luxurious for a pottery.Last week @motleymakers fitted our sink stand(which they also made), and sorted out our plumbing ✊This week @joannecrawford_ insisted on snapping a few pics of our long awaited sinks! Yes, she’s a portrait (and sink) photographer extraordinaire! 😂😂😂These Belfast sinks from @whitebirksinkco have been sat on the pottery floor since February and have been housing our cloths, aprons, D10, & two plants we’re barely keeping alive.The sinks were due to be skipped. Like us, sink manufacturers meet their fair share of ceramic casualties too. We don’t care about the warpage and lumps and bumps. We just needed large functional sinks with traps, a draining area, and taps that don’t fall off mid flow. In December we introduced a wheel/packed order water feature across the centre of the studio. It had quite a range… 💦 📦 🤯Anyway, the sinks have enhanced studio life. There are two for washing & two for draining. We still catch most of our clay slurry in a bucket system. We’ll see if the traps are sufficient for capturing the rest of our little particles. They will be emptied weekly. Nobody ever wants to empty the big slurry tanks because they stink. So for now, we’ve not gone down that route.Organics go in the two sinks without traps, & studio gunk goes in the two sinks with traps 🤗

The glazing of our sinks is done in two stages. First, the englobe (a type of undercoat) is applied, then they are given the final coat of glaze. In the case of our mottled finish, complex glazes are required to achieve this beautiful effect. This process takes a three coat application.#HandmadeInEngland #WhitebirkHandmadeProcess

A dark and moody palette brings sophistication and drama to your bathroom. Evoking richness and luxury, dark bathrooms have a valiant, bold aesthetic to make a strong style statement. Bring pattern into a dark bathroom with tile work for extra contrast and movement. As your walls take up the most visual space in your bathroom, the colour and pattern of your tile act as a backdrop for everything else.Our Blue Mottle glaze complements any dark-themed bathroom. Adding texture and a hint of colour, to create the perfect balance. Image by @project_34_selfbuild#HandmadeInEngland #WhitebirkHandmadeProcess

Blue is an invigorating colour and when used sparingly, works very well within the kitchen area. When lighter shades of blue are used, they can create a clean, crisp look and tend to promote the effect of space and light. Blue is a popular colour and could be called a safe colour to use with interior decorating, as a calming colour it is great for use in bedrooms and bathrooms.Depicting tranquillity, understanding and softness, blue makes the kitchen or bathroom a perfect space to relax into.#WhitebirkInspiration#HandmadeInEngland #WhitebirkHandmadeProcess

Our 1.5 bowl sink, the Lostock is perfect for those who find themselves multitasking in the kitchen. A smaller bowl is ideal for allowing you to continue using your tap without obstruction, should the main bowl be in use. The flexibility of having two working drains makes day-to-day duties a dream.The Lostock is also perfect for waste disposal units. Rather than scraping and pouring messy food waste into a kitchen pedal bin, simply turn on the cold water tap, switch it on and empty the unwanted food waste into the sink. Making it a more pleasant environment for family and social gatherings.

We employ a skilled team of local craftspeople and master artisans here at our Blackburn base, honouring Lancashire’s esteemed manufacturing heritage by using traditional materials and long-established techniques. Each original sink takes time to make, and our master craftsmen use time-honoured methods that have remained unchanged over generations.Here is Justina hand finishing one of our Lostock sinks ahead of being put in the dryer!#WhitebirkHandmadeProcess #HandFinishing

Our Cleveleys sink puts a beautiful spin on the traditional Belfast sink, with the overflow positioned on the back of the sink giving it a much more aesthetic and modern look when placed in a cabinet.This utility room is complete with the addition of an elegant, classic white sink to compliment the dark cabinets and appliances. Since, what is a utility room without a sink?!#WhitebirkHeritageCollectionPhoto by Joanna @project_34_selfbuild (Instagram)#HandmadeInEngland #WhitebirkHandmadeProcess
