    Has anyone ever had their kitchen sink faucet installed in the corner instead of in the middle? I'm redoing my countertops and with the sink I have purchased (undermount), there is not enough room to install the faucet directly behind the sink (because the cabinet wall below ends). Because of the shape of the sink, there is room at the corners, and the countertop person suggested that to me as an alternative to choosing a different sink.

    Just want to know if anyone has ever done this or has seen it done...and how do you like it?

    Thanks!

    My current kitchen plans include a small sink from Kohler called Sorbet, which is shaped like a quarter-circle, with the faucet in one corner.

    I also will be suffering from lack of space for the control arm on the main kitchen sink, but I've got enough room for the body of the faucet. in this case, a 45-degree twist will be needed to position the faucet where it can be fully activated. The manual suggests a 90-degree twist, but that's silly as you'd have to reach through the pouring water to change the temp.

    I have a corner sink. I guess counter corners are tough because of the potential wasted space, but as big as this sink is, water still manages to soak the rest of the counter. Maybe it's just that I haven't adapted -- it's my first corner sink -- and hey, it isn't a big deal to grab a dish towel and mop up. I just wish I didn't have to, since all the standard sinks I've used never had the problem.

    I would just suggest that you make sure that you have a faucet with a spray arm attached (or a separate sprayer) that reaches across the entire sink, because otherwise you won't be able to clean your sink well.
