Are you following latest ‘sinkie’ kitchen trend on Instagram? It’s not what you might think
#shelfies were the big thing for 2019, this year is set to be all about the kitchen 'sinkie'
It's a movement sweeping social media. The #sinkie is quite literally a safe space for Instagrammers to share pictures of their kitchen sinks - styled with flowers.
And while following the 'sinkie' trend is niche, quite frankly at the moment we'll happily gaze at flowers in beautiful kitchens for hours – anything for a bit of escapism.
