When it comes to designing your bathroom, there is actually a lot you need to consider. It’s not just as simple as changing up the walls or redoing the floor, you also need to make sure all the appliances are in good working order.
One of the most important things you have to work on is of course the bathroom sink. But how do you make a sink interesting?
We’ve put together a list of 15 bathroom sink ideas that are perfect for your bathroom and your home, so you can give your bathroom a bit of an edge and help it stand out. So let’s take a look!
1. Be Different With The Sink Shape
Most sinks are a plain square or rectangular shape, so one of the best ways you can mix it up a bit is by changing the shape of your sink.
Some other shapes which don’t get as much recognition but are still really great are oval and round sinks. While some people do have these shaped sinks in their bathrooms, they are still outnumbered by the square and rectangular sinks.
Sometimes subtle changes are the best, and you’d be surprised by how well a differently shaped sink can really boost the overall vibe of your bathroom.
2. Try Something A Bit More Morrocan
Morrocan architecture and art are revered by many people all over the world and it’s no real surprise as to why. It’s incredibly beautiful and eyecatching and leaves a remarkable impression on any who are lucky enough to be in its presence.
If you want your sink to be a bit more arty and interesting, try switching up your plain sink for a Moroccan ceramic sink instead! You won’t be disappointed by how much better it makes your whole bathroom look.
3. Start A Trend With Corner Sinks
Corner sinks are not only a bit different from regular sinks, but they are also really great if you have a smaller bathroom or if you’re running out of space in general. They don’t take up much room and they allow you to utilize the space to its fullest potential.
Most corner sinks don’t actually need any counter space as well because they are mostly wall-mounted, so you don’t have to worry about reinstalling a counter that will suit your new sink.
4. Go Ceramic
We’ve already talked about Moroccan ceramic sinks, but you don’t have to limit yourself to this one particular design. Ceramic sinks in general are a fantastic addition to your bathroom that will really transform the whole space.
They are super reliable and even easier to clean, so this is a great sink choice if you want something stylish while also being quite low maintenance.
You might think that ceramic sinks are going to be really expensive as well, but you’d be pleasantly surprised to discover that they are quite affordable and go really well with other bathroom appliances.
5. Be Durable With Stainless Steel
Stainless steel has grown in popularity so much over the years. This is because it looks fantastic, giving your space a sleek and modern look, and it is also extremely durable.
The durability of stainless steel means you get more value for your money and you don’t have to worry about replacing things every five minutes. Stainless steel is a great choice for anyone who has a bit of a tighter budget but still wants their bathrooms to look good.
6. Get Fancy With Glass
Glass sinks are another type of sink that doesn’t get as much recognition as they should. You can find glass sinks in almost every shape and style, so there will be no shortage of ways you can incorporate them into your bathroom.
Because they are cemented into place, you don’t have to worry about them breaking either. They are also incredibly easy to clean, making them another idea that will look great but also be very low maintenance.
Glass sinks are perfect for anyone who wants their bathroom to have a fancy and higher-end vibe, even if your budget isn’t that great.
7. Take A Chance With Wooden Sinks
You might look at this idea and think it won’t work, but it absolutely does! As these sinks are made of wood, they will require a bit more active upkeep and maintenance than some of the other sink options on this list, but it’s definitely worth the effort.
Wooden sinks are incredibly unique because not many people have the patience to keep on top of maintaining them. They look incredible and because they aren’t seen very often, they are incredibly eye-catching.
This is a great idea for anyone who wants to give their bathrooms more of a rustic and natural vibe.
8. Have A Look At Undermount Sinks
An undermount sink is a sink that actually sits underneath the counter, making the edge of the sink below the level of the countertop. Lots of people like these sinks because they fit more seamlessly into whatever design you’re going for and they look more compact.
Undermount sinks are a bit more technical to install, but we promise you, it’s worth the extra effort. This is a great idea for anyone who wants their bathroom to have a more minimalistic vibe.
9. Incorporate Resin Into Your Sink Design
Resin sinks are very popular in bathrooms that follow a more modern and artsy design. They are great because the material can be painted practically any color, so you can really make your sink match with the rest of your bathroom with ease.
People also love resin sinks because they are incredibly durable and sturdy, which is great for bathrooms that see a lot of traffic. You’ll save money in the long run if you opt for a resin sink because it will stand the test of time. On top of this, they also look fantastic!
10. Trough Sinks Can Transform The Whole Vibe
If you really want to try something that will change up the whole vibe of your bathroom, then you should definitely consider installing a trough sink.
It is one of the most beautiful designs for a sink and offers you the chance to add a bit of a unique vibe to your whole bathroom.
Most trough sinks can be installed with either one or two faucets, so you can play around with this to see which style suits your bathroom space the best.
These sinks are great for more modern bathrooms, or for anyone who wants their bathroom to be sleek in design and vibe.
11. Try Something New In The Form of a Console Sink
Console sinks are not as well known as some of the other sinks on this list. They are basically a mixture of pedestal sinks and wall-mounted sinks. They usually have exposed plumbing as part of their design.
This is a great idea for anyone who wants something a bit more quirky or even rustic. You definitely won’t find many console sinks in your travels, so why not have one yourself?
If the exposed plumbing does bother you, you can cover it up, but lots of people do like the exposed look. It really depends on the vibe you want your bathroom to have.
12. You Can’t Go Wrong With Pedestal Sinks
If console sinks are a bit too out there, pedestal sinks might be just what you are looking for. They are a very traditional style of sink and have been around for well over a century.
They work in practically any theme as well, so you won’t be taking much of a risk with this option. You can very rarely go wrong with a good pedestal sink!
One thing to note about pedestal sinks is that they aren’t great for storage, so if you want a sink with good storage, you should probably look for another option.
13. Wall-Mounted Sinks Save On Space
Another popular choice is of course wall-mounted sinks. They are a great choice if you’re after a sink that will give you a lot more space, while also looking incredibly sleek and uniform with the rest of your bathroom.
14. Get Extra With A Double Vanity
A double vanity is basically two sinks in one. This is a great option if you have a larger family, but it also looks really good too. How many bathrooms have you been in that have two sinks?
This option only really works if you have the space for it though, so keep that in mind if you have a smaller bathroom.
15. Drop-In Sinks Are Sleek & Practical
And finally, have a look at drop-in sinks. They give you a load of space on your countertop and they also provide a lot of protection from splashing water on the floor.
Drop-in sinks are also incredibly versatile, coming in a rang of different sizes, shapes, and colors.
Conclusion
All of these sinks are wonderful additions to creating the perfect bathroom. Try them out for yourself and see which one works best for you!
Hi, my name is Maisie Park and I have recently moved into the home I renovated with my husband. It took an entire year to get it just the way we wanted it, and I learned a thing or two along the way!
We started this project together with no prior experience in renovating houses or home improvements – I think the best I had was that I knew how to change a lightbulb.
Flash forward a year and here I am, creating a website to guide others through these challenges.
Please use my website as a source of inspiration for your own home – does your porch need a fresh lick of paint, by any chance? We all deserve to live in the house of our dreams, so what’s stopping you? Let’s get started!
