If you have a workstation sink, you need the right accessories to make the most of it. By using accessories and add-ons, you can convert your sink to a full-fledged workspace with half a dozen different functionalities.
There are a lot of different accessories that you can choose from. In this post, we’re going to list some of the best ones that we think you absolutely need.
Let’s get started.
1. Bamboo Cutting Board
The first accessory on our list is the bamboo cutting board.
Cutting boards are very useful. You need one whenever you need to cut something, whether it’s fruit or vegetables. It’s needed in almost every cooking session.
What better way to use a cutting board than as an accessory for your workstation sink?
Cutting boards purpose-made for workstation sinks can be slid into the pre-built notches inside the bowl. You can move the board sideways depending on whether you want it under the faucet or away from it.
You could be wondering: why bamboo? Bamboo boards are great for a number of reasons, including their durability and sustainability. Once you buy a bamboo cutting board, you don’t have to worry about getting a new one for some time to come.
Here is a brief list of the various benefits that you can enjoy with bamboo cutting boards:
- They’re naturally antimicrobial, helping reduce bacteria buildup.
- They’re lightweight yet durable, making them easy to handle without sacrificing strength.
- Bamboo is less porous than hardwood, which means it absorbs less moisture and resists staining.
- It’s gentle on knives, helping preserve blade sharpness over time.
- Bamboo is a renewable resource, making it an eco-friendly choice for sustainable kitchens.
- Their sleek, modern look adds a touch of style to your sink setup.
If you have brought your sink from Ruvati, you can buy your cutting board from us as well. There are various products that you can choose from.
2. Foldable Roll-Up Dish Drying Rack
Another excellent accessory that you can buy for your workstation sink is a foldable roll-up dish drying rack.
The foldable dish rack can help to give you some extra space for drying your dishes, glasses, and mugs right on top of the sink. When not in use, you can fold it up to make way for your other sink-related activities.
High-quality foldable roll-up dish drying racks, such as the one we offer here at Ruvati, are made of stainless steel and silicone. The bars that hold dishes are made using stainless steel, while the foldable joints are silicone. Thanks to these materials, the racks provide strength and durability.
Here is a sum-up of the reasons that make these racks worth buying:
- They save counter space by letting you dry dishes directly over the sink.
- They’re foldable, so you can easily tuck them away when not in use.
- Made with stainless steel bars, they’re sturdy enough to hold heavy pots and pans.
- The silicone edges ensure a non-slip grip and prevent scratches on your sink.
- They’re water-resistant and easy to clean, adding to their long-term convenience.
- Versatile enough to use as a trivet, rinsing station, or even a temporary prep surface.
3. Mixing Bowls/Colanders
Mixing bowls and colanders can also improve the functionality and efficiency of your workstation sink. They often come as a two-in-one accessory, with the mixing bowl functioning as the water collector for the colander when the latter is being used away from the sink.
The colander can help you easily wash fruits and vegetables. You can also use it to drain pasta and other boiled foods like potatoes and beans.
The mixing bowl, on the other hand, gives you a handy place to mix ingredients, toss salads, marinate meats, or even prep dough without taking up counter space.
As sink accessories, the bowl and colander can fit inside the basin to make the user experience easy and convenient.

4. Condiment Trays
Condiment trays consist of small bowls/compartments. The entire tray can be slid inside the sink for easy access.
Although they may sound like it, condiment trays aren’t used to hold stuff like ketchup and mustard while you work on your sink. They’re called condiment trays, but that’s as far as the “condiments” go.
What they’re actually used for is as helpful little “cubby holes” for when you’re working on your sink. You can put fruit or vegetables inside them to temporarily soak them. You could also put some pieces of cutlery in them to organize your dishes when washing them.
5. Dish Caddy Drying Rack
One of the accessories we mentioned above was the foldable drying rack that you can place on top of the sink space. This one is a bit different.
The dish caddy drying rack is inserted inside the sink and gives you a place to dry your dishes directly inside the basin. It’s like a mini drying rack for your dishes that doesn’t take up extra space on your countertop but still lets you cleanly drain your freshly-washed dishes.
This sort of accessory can be a great choice for people who have a small kitchen space and don’t want to waste it on keeping a dish drying rack in one corner. Since the rack can be slid and moved around the length of the sink, it can also offer a great way to wash dishes. Once you scrub them clean, you can put the dishes in the rack and then slide them under the faucet.
