Choosing a bathroom sink can often be a lot more difficult than anticipated. This is especially the case for those with small bathrooms, as space becomes a major issue. So, what do you need to consider before installing your new sink?
Placement
Before you can begin to consider different styles of sinks you need to first decide where you are going to place your sink. This will determine the majority of your following decisions. Most importantly, it will dictate how much room you are going to have available to house the sink, which is obviously important. Don’t forget to take into consideration the fact that most basins protrude approximately half a meter from the wall. Space is often at a premium in a bathroom, so you do need to consider this carefully. If you have a lot of things taking up space in your bathroom, or home for that matter, you may want to consider self-storage to allow more room for stunning bathroom design. After all, clutter can be a nightmare for any homeowner.
Style Preference
There are lots of different styles of sinks to choose from. This includes the following; pedestal sinks, console sinks, wall-hung sinks, basins with vanity units, bowl basins, and under-mounted sinks. Pedestal sinks are extremely popular, as they conceal the drains and the pipes and are available in a wealth of different designs. If you are looking to give your bathroom a contemporary edge, you may want to consider a bowl basin. Moreover, if you have a small bathroom, a wall-hung sink offers a good solution, whilst basins with vanity units obviously have the added benefit of storage.Â
The Right Material
Not only do sinks come in an array of styles, but you have a wealth of materials to choose between as well. In general, the options you have are as follows; ceramic, wood, natural stone, glass, and stainless steel. Natural stone is becoming extremely popular, as it gives a stunning and relaxing spa-like feel. Glass is ideal for those wishing to create a modern look, whilst ceramic is undoubtedly the most cost-effective solution. Wood is an unusual choice, and will need to be regularly treated, yet can make a fantastic statement.Â
There’s a lot to consider when it comes to choosing the right sink for your bathroom. You need to assess your room carefully – determine where the sink is going to be placed and how much space you will have. Then narrow down your options based on material and style. This is obviously down to personal preference, yet you will have to consider factors such as space and price, as well.
