      Decide what type of concrete sink you want to use. Options include vessel, undermount, drop-in and apron-style, also known as farmhouse-style.. The style you choose depends on your taste and the function of the space. For example, a vessel sink may be functional in a bathroom, but it may not work well in a kitchen.
