Read This Before Buying a Bathroom Sink



One of the decisions you need to make in your bathroom remodel is selecting the right sink. While some may be more stylish or functional than others, these qualities aren’t mutually exclusive. This means you won’t have a hard time finding a sink that offers a balance between visual appeal and innovative design. Professional bathroom contractor DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno shares a few things to consider to help you make the right choice. 

Even if you choose one of the most popular sinks for your bathroom, it won’t do you any good if it’s too big or small. To ensure that you get a sink that fits your vanity properly, you need to map out where it will be placed and how much room you have to work with. It’s as easy as measuring your counter space or floor space, depending on the type of sink you’ll be installing.

Choosing the Right Sink

By measuring the space where you’ll mount your bathroom sink, you’ll get a clear idea of how it will fit. This will mainly depend on which type of sink you choose, so if you haven’t decided yet, you can always consult your trusted bathroom remodeler. Here are some of the most popular sink types to consider:

Pedestal Sink

This type of sink offers a traditional look that fits any bathroom style. The base is typically made of the same material as the sink itself to ensure continuity throughout the design. You won’t need counter space when you go with a pedestal sink for your bathroom. 

Wall-Mounted Sink

As the name implies, this type of sink is mounted to the wall. It doesn’t include a vanity or a countertop, but also lacks any cabinetry support. The plumbing can either be hidden or visible. If you want to maximize your bathroom’s floor space, then a wall-mounted sink is the way to go.

Vessel Sink

This combines the traditional look of a basin with advancements in modern plumbing and design. A vessel sink can come in different shapes, sizes and finishes. It is designed to sit on top of the countertop or vanity instead of being mounted inside or underneath.
