I’m redoing my tack room and utility room. The area in the picture has a bathroom, tankless water heater, a utility sink and it will have a washer and dryer next to the sink. The picture is being taken from the tack room. The feed room is on the other end of the tack room.
I’m replacing the utility sink so what type of sink do you have and what do you like/dislike about it?
I’m trying to decide what is the most useful and easiest to keep clean. The wall that is currently next to the sink is being removed so I can put something wider thank the existing sink in there. I was thinking maybe a longer deep sink with an attached counter area. The two pics are just ideas.
Stainless steel with a knee operated faucet if possible. I worked for an ER doctor when I was in HS and she had the best deep, wide steel sink that I could turn on and off with my knee if my hands were too gross. Easy to sanitize and big is what matters.

I LOVE my commercial kitchen tub w sprayer. We have a different brand in our house and also a big workhorse for projects.

We did this sort of replacement in our basement next to the washer and dryer. We had a utility sink like yours, and when we redid our kitchen, the guy took the kitchen sink and part of the laminated countertop made a sturdier area to work in, with a shelf below the sink as well
As long as the faucet handle can be operated with the back of your hand, or your elbow, you can have pretty icky hands and turn water on/off (and it’s what we do) You can also get a motion sensor faucet, which adds $$, has to have batteries replaced periodically, and does wear out eventually.
I do miss the deepness of the original utility sink, but also DO like having a 2-sided sink. Our new kitchen sink is deeper and a single sink, and is also nice to work with, so there are pros and cons to each. My Dad has a bigger deeper single sink, and uses a small plastic bin on one side of it when he needs to separate areas, so that makes it more versatile.
Definitely have an attached counter!
