Stainless steel is mass manufactured in standard shapes and designs. It fits into many decor schemes, from country to modern, and is easy to match to stainless steel appliances. It also tends to blend into its surroundings rather than serve as a focal point. Since bronze sinks are often crafted by hand, they can be purchased in custom shapes, sizes and decorative designs. Due to their expense and unique look, bronze sinks are often used as a focal point for the room or the cabinetry, especially in rustic decor.
