From flooring and fixtures to the toilet and tub, the layout and design of a bathroom remodel are meticulously planned to ensure it meets your expectations. Even the sink must be carefully considered, especially since it’s one of the first things people notice when they enter.
Style vs. Function
As you browse different bathroom sinks, you’ll find that some seem more stylish or functional than others. Unless you have a specific design mind, consider getting a sink that offers a good balance between beauty and performance. It helps to work with a trusted professional bathroom contractor such as DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Huntsville. To make the right decision, here’s what you need to consider.
The Right Size for Your Bathroom
Before choosing a sink that fits your bathroom’s design, you first need to make sure that you get it in the right size. For most sinks, you’ll only need to measure the countertop area. If you don’t have a countertop or vanity, you might need a sink that occupies part of the floor area, so that should be measured as well. Either way, a bathroom sink that’s too big or small can be a costly mistake, so make sure to get an accurate measurement of the space where it will be placed.
Which Type of Sink Fits Your Lifestyle?
Sinks are available for almost any bathroom design and lifestyle. If you’re a bit overwhelmed by the options, you can always consult a trusted bathroom remodeler. Popular sink types include:
- Vessel. A vessel sink is a mix of the traditional look of a water basin and modern advancements in plumbing and design. It can come in a variety of shapes, sizes and finishes, but it’s designed to sit on top of the countertop or vanity instead of being mounted inside.
- Pedestal. You’ll find this offers a traditional look without losing its subtle, elegant appeal. A pedestal sink will have its own base, which is typically made of the same material as the sink itself.
- Wall-Mounted. As the name implies, this sink is mounted to the wall so it doesn’t need a vanity or a countertop. While it normally doesn’t have any cabinetry around it, you can still choose to have the plumbing hidden or visible.
