There isn’t a whole lot of visual difference, but you should know that farmhouse sinks tend to be made of porcelain or fireclay, giving them the country look, while apron front sinks can be made of more modern materials like stainless steel. Apron front sinks have a lip that sticks out from the counter and are somewhat bare around the other three edges allowing for a slide-in installation, while farmhouse sinks could be finished on all four edges.
Kohler makes some really dreamy farmhouse sinks that come in more colors than just white. Above, I linked to two sinks in the “Mexican Sand” and “Almond” coloring.
The muted hues are distinct yet calming for any country kitchen. Here are a few inspirational images for how farmhouse sinks can be installed and decorated in your kitchen.
