Has anyone used the Domsjo sink with Abstrakt White Kitchen Cabinets?

We are planning our new Ikea Kitchen with the Abstrakt White Kitchen Cabinets and I am torn as to which sink we should use. We are putting in stainless steel appliances and I am wondering if we should install a Kohler stainless steel sink or if I should install the Domsjo double farmhouse sink. I really like the Apron front Domsjo, but it may be too much white. Has anyone installed the Ikea Domsjo and used the Abstrakt cabinets?

IMO the domsjo would clash with the clean lines, contemporary look of the abstrakt.

Have you considered a stainless steel farmhouse sink?

Re: Has anyone used the Domsjo sink with Abstrakt White Kitchen Cabinets?

Thanks for your reply. I feel like it could be too white. Our apartment is very old with a wall of exposed red brick going down the entrie apartment. It is a NYC loft. The floors will be oak. I am trying to marry old with new. Several people have said that the stainless stell sink would make my kitchen look sterile. We are using a Zodiaq counter in White Cloud, so the counters will be light. I am considering the Kohler Stainless Steel farmhouse sink as well.

What price range are you looking at? With the exposed brick, a copper sink could look beautiful and warm and steer you away from that sterile feeling.

Re: Has anyone used the Domsjo sink with Abstrakt White Kitchen Cabinets?

The domsjo looks great with the abstrakt with the wood countertops, but I guess I'm not envisioning it with the Zodiaq.

I don't think the stainless steel would feel cold if you have exposed brick in the kitchen and can add other warm elements in the kitchen; i.e. backsplash, accessories.

I also think the copper sink option would look great along with bronze appliances:

PS I wonder if it would look good if you added bronze fixtures to the domsjo and added bronze appliances as well to compliment it.

Here's a kitchen faucet by Moen that comes in bronze that is still contemporary:
