Beautiful Bathroom Sinks

August 21, 2012 By creatingyourspace Leave a Comment

Bathroom sinks need to be functional there is no doubt about that. Bathroom sinks can be also be beautiful and almost sculptural unlike kitchen sinks that must fit pots and pans. Bathroom sinks, especially in powder rooms, can be unusual sizes and shapes while still being functional, as we need them.  The wide variety of bathroom sinks available on the market today is testament to the desire to have something beautiful and functional in the bathroom.

Depending on the square footage and floor plan of your bathroom you may opt for a pedestal sink, wall mounted sink, or sink and vanity combination. A bathroom sink with vanity is the classic set up for the bathroom. This doesn’t mean that this combination is dull and boring. Vessel sinks continue to be a popular option for the bathroom sink. Having a vessel sink can shrink the size of the vanity, or create more counter space.

Other popular sink options are to have the sink and counter be of the same solid surface. As seen in this bathroom sink, continuing the same material from backsplash to counter and even the sink creates a seamless design. Since all of these elements are stone, you could continue the stone onto the floor for a cohesive overall room design.

Bathroom sinks can be stone, metal, ceramic or glass. The shape and form of the sink are only limited by your design imagination and the space allocated for the sink. Choose the right sink for your style and bathroom needs for the best results.

Two are Better than One: Bathroom Sinks

April 14, 2012 By creatingyourspace Leave a Comment

The standard for master bathroom design is to have his and hers sinks. In newer homes the master bathroom is the largest bathroom in the home and can accommodate a counter top long enough to fit two sinks. In older homes and smaller homes that lack en suite master bathrooms, two sinks are a luxury.

 

Two sinks ideally mean that you each get your own sink. This can be true in some homes while in others the extra sink is rarely used other than to store makeup and hair dryers.  Sometimes one sink with extra counter space is a better option. Even a vanity or make up area would be preferential to the second sink for some couples.

 

If you do have a bathroom that has enough space for a long vanity and two sinks there are many sink options available.  Vessel sinks continue to be popular as do undermounted sinks. Vessel sinks’ smaller footprint will allow more counter top to show around the sink. Vessel sinks may allow you the space to install two sinks on a smaller counter top space.  Wall mounted faucets can also save precious countertop space. Atypical shapes like these rectangular sinks are popular in contemporary and modern design.

 

Because double sink vanities are such large elements in a bathroom, coordinating the sink color and material with the counter and flooring helps give a polished looking design to the room. Matching the counter top with the stone or tile of the bathroom floor can unify these two design elements.
