Ceramic and Porcelain

• A white ceramic or porcelain sink matches nearly any type of faucet, including brushed nickel ones. These traditional sinks are a very suitable choice for almost any decor pattern. Traditional and sometimes rustic in character, this safe bet is a good choice for any homeowner desiring a traditional look with some modern additions. These sinks are also safe if you plan to update the faucet in the future to chrome, brass or copper. White ceramic or porcelain matches both of these sinks as well.
  
  

Vanity Tops and Sink Bowls

• The sink vanity top is a one-piece sink bowl and counter that installs on the cabinet and has many advantages. It offers a clean look and no seams or sealing required. The sinks come in custom colors as well, including many shades of tan or black, both of which match a brushed nickel faucet. You only need to match a single color for the sink and counter in this case, making your choice a little easier. As long as the vanity matches your bathroom and its surrounding decor elements, you'll be happy with this decision.
  
  

Stone Sinks

• Another option is a stone sink as the grain in the stone matches the texture and surface of the brushed nickel faucet. Choose a black marble or a dark granite because the color goes well with the silver tones of brushed nickel. While more expensive, a stone sink is long lasting and durable. Granite patterns match the distinct luster of the brushed nickel faucet more so than a chrome faucet will. Composite sinks with a dark finish also match the brushed nickel faucet. These sinks may be less expensive than the granite sinks as well.
  
  

Stainless Steel Sinks Vs. Corian

• Stainless steel sinks in brushed nickel are available to match a brushed nickel faucet. However, since the two are close in tone and the same materials, the brushed nickel is sometimes too much. If your bathroom or kitchen has lots of solid colors, this sink might be all right. If not, choose another sink with a matching finish but one that is not particularly brushed nickel. When designing or refinishing the kitchen or bathroom, alternate colors between light and dark. A solid black Corian style sink bowl is a better choice when the decor is modern and up to date.
