The bathroom is one corner of the house that is often taken for granted. But at the same time the décor and the way it has been maintained can say a few things about the owner and the interior decoration of the house. When talking about bathroom décor bathroom sinks are one of the most important pieces in your bathroom as they are a focal point, one we use daily.

Amongst the various styles, sizes and shapes that are available in the market the bathroom sinks can be divided into broadly 6 categories:

  • Wall Hung Sink
  • Vessel Style Sink
  • Under-Mount Sink
  • Pedestal Sink
  • Self-Rimming Sink
  • Console Sink

Your choice of bathroom sink will vary a lot depending upon how big or small your bathroom is. Certain sink styles work better in small bathrooms, like pedestal sinks or wall hung sinks. While others offer good options in larger bathrooms like self-rimming or under-mount sinks.

If you want to make a style statement with your bathroom’s décor then vessel sinks are highly recommended. These come in beautiful and unique designs and colors that are enough to provide a basis for a complete theme to your bathroom. Glass vessel sinks especially offer a distinct look and feel.

If you have a small bathroom you may want to look at wall-hung sinks or bathroom pedestal sinks. As the name suggests wall-hung sinks are mounted to the wall and they provide an open feel underneath. Pedestal sinks have a little more to them as they have a solid stand that forms into a basin on top. Neither of these types of sink offer storage space, but they also don’t take up much space in the bathroom.

If having a counter top and storage space under the sink is important you may want to consider bathroom under-mount sinks or self-rimming sinks. These types of sinks are both attached to a counter top, the under mount sink sits below the counter and the self-rimming sink sits in the counter with the lip resting on the counter.

While design can be an important feature of bathroom sinks, functionality is of utmost importance. Make sure you like the way your new bathroom sink works and how it feels. After all you will be using it daily, you need to make sure you really like it and how it works.
