How to Choose the Best Sink for Your Home

Bathroom Design Guide


Choosing the perfect bathroom sink can be tricky, especially if your room dimensions are tight or odd shaped. Browse these beautiful designs to discover the inspiration you need to remodel for this holiday season.

1. Contemporary-style Sink
Sophisticated elements come together to form a contemporary, but chic sink area. A simple, sleek faucet in a platinum matte finish complements the sharp angles of the white vessel sink. Elegant sink-side accessories, like perfume bottles and a bouquet of calla lilies dress up the vanity.

2. Paired Pedestal Sinks
Sleek pedestal sinks flank a stylish wood chest to create a beautiful sense of symmetry in this bath. White surfaces and generously sized mirrors add to the light, airy appeal.

3. Stylish, Space-Saving Console Sinks
Sinks get a modern twist with metal structuring. When two sinks are desired, but space is tight, small-scale sinks can be an ideal solution. The simple white bathroom is jazzed up with borders of black tile.

4. Raised, Square Sinks
Square, above-counter sinks elevate the vanity physically and stylistically. Raised sinks mean less bending and greater comfort. The square sinks fit right in with the square mosaic tiles and square mirrors.


5. Space-Saving Console Sink
Frustrated by a lack of space for a sink? Pedestal sinks are terrific space-savers, but lack storage space. And larger, vanity-style structures provide ample storage but can take up a lot of room. But console sinks provide the best of both worlds -- compact size with storage underneath and counter space around the basin.

6. Vessel Sink
Curving lines capture an organic feel in this bath, creating a serene and relaxing environment. The gentle curve of this vessel sink adds a fun "smile" shape below the porthole windows. Bringing the sink above the counter creates structural interest and makes space for a towel cubby. A diamond parquet cabinet and marble countertop add texture.
