What to consider when choosing a bathrooom sink

Your bathroom sink is a vital part of your bathroom functionality but beyond that, it is also a decorative element. It is not just a place to wash your hands, it is a fashion statement. The choice of sink for your bathroom needs to meet the needs that you have in that bathroom but everyone also wants to create a bathroom they are proud of. Here are some things that need to be considered when choosing a bathroom sink.

When it comes to buying a sink for your bathroom there are many things that are important. Space is one of the primary issues. Get your tape measure and accurately measure the space you have available. Once you have that measurement you will be able to consider whether you can fit a vanity or you need to go with a pedestal or wall mounted sink.

A vanity offers the option of extra storage as well as functionality. There are many sizes of vanities from very small to spacious double sink models. You can choose a vanity that is on display at your local hardware or plumbing supply store or you can custom design one from components that they have available. You can also provide your own piece of furniture and either build in the sink you choose or pick one of the bowls that sit on top. 

Bathroom sinks are no longer just ceramic. They can be made from blown glass, metal. stone or composite materials. They come in every color under the sun and in patterns and designs to suit every taste and purse. Everyone from the traditionalist to the cutting edge artist will find something that they find aesthetically pleasing. 

If space is at a premium, a wall mount or pedestal sink may be the best choice. It allows you to have a sink in an area where a vanity is not possible. Bathroom sinks can be quite small and a small wall mount sink takes very little space. Pedestal sinks take a little more space and of course, you must have the floor space as well. You can find a new sink in a variety of shapes,  round, oval, square and rectangular, with a large lip or none at all. They can be hand painted, plain white or in fashion colors.

When choosing your bathroom sink, remember to coordinate with your tub and toilet. With some sink choices, your piping will be visible and this should match your choice of faucets. 

Buying a new bathroom sink can be an inexpensive way to give your bathroom a whole new look. Another way is to add a new floor.
