Riva Range

The Riva Collection is Modern National's kitchen sink range, built around a clean, minimal profile that suits contemporary kitchen benchtops. It is a small, focused range rather than a sprawling catalogue, so choosing between the two available sinks comes down to matching size and bowl configuration to your kitchen layout. If you already use Modern National tapware, pairing a Riva sink from the same brand is a straightforward way to keep the finish and design language consistent across the kitchen.

What the Riva Collection offers

Modern National designs the Riva range with a simple, understated look, avoiding heavy detailing in favour of clean lines that sit well under most kitchen tap styles. Because there are only two sinks in the collection, the choice is more about practical fit than sorting through dozens of near-identical options. This makes it a quick decision for renovators who know roughly what size and bowl layout they need and want a dependable option from an established Australian bathroom and kitchen brand.

Who this range suits

• Kitchen renovations looking for a simple, uncluttered sink profile
• Buyers already using Modern National tapware who want a matching brand across the kitchen
• Anyone wanting a small, easy-to-compare shortlist rather than an overwhelming range
• New builds where the kitchen design favours a minimal, modern aesthetic

Size and bowl configuration

Kitchen sinks generally come down to two main decisions: overall size and bowl configuration. Before choosing between the two Riva options, measure your benchtop cutout or the space allocated for the sink, and think about how you use the kitchen day to day. A single larger bowl suits households that regularly wash bulky pots and trays, while a divided configuration can help separate washing from food prep or draining. Check the exact dimensions and bowl depth listed for each Riva sink against your cabinetry plans before finalising your order.

Material and finish

Kitchen sinks in this category are typically finished to handle daily use, including scratching, staining and heat from hot pots and pans. Look at the specific finish listed for each Riva sink, and consider how it will sit alongside your benchtop material and any nearby tapware. Because the range is from Modern National, it is worth checking whether the finish tone matches or complements your existing Modern National kitchen mixer if you are updating the sink as part of a broader kitchen refresh.

Installation considerations

Confirm whether each Riva sink is designed for an undermount, topmount or flushmount installation, since this affects how it needs to be prepared into the benchtop and what kind of support the cabinetry requires underneath. If you are replacing an existing sink, check the current cutout size against the new sink's dimensions, as even a small mismatch can mean adjusting the benchtop or cabinetry. For new kitchens, it is worth finalising the sink choice before the benchtop is cut so the opening is sized correctly from the start.

• Measure your benchtop cutout before choosing between the two Riva sink options
• Match bowl configuration to how you actually use the kitchen day to day
• Check installation type, whether undermount, topmount or flushmount, against your cabinetry
• Consider pairing with Modern National tapware for a consistent brand finish

With a small, considered range like Riva, the decision process stays simple. Compare the two sinks against your benchtop dimensions and daily kitchen habits, and you should land on the right option quickly without needing to work through dozens of alternatives.
