When it comes to selecting the right sink for your bathroom, you need to consider which room you are shopping for — whether it is a powder room, master bathroom or family bathroom — who will use it and, ultimately, how much square footage you have. Here, bathroom contractor DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Rhode Island narrows down some of the best options for your space.
- Undermount sink. An undermount sink sits underneath the counter, with its rim fixed to the underside of the countertop, creating a clean, seamless look. Spills can be wiped directly from the countertop into the sink, making it an easy-to-clean option for bathrooms that both children and adults frequently use.
- Top-mount sink. A top-mount or drop-in sink sits on top of the counter. Depending on the style you choose, the rim of the sink can be slim or thick. Since the cutout is covered by the sink and does not pose a risk of water damage, it can be suitable for most countertop materials, such as laminate and wood.
- Pedestal sink. If you prefer a wall-mounted sink with a pipe that goes through the floor, a pedestal sink is a great feature to incorporate into your bathroom. The common downsides of this type of sink are the lack of storage space under the sink and the difficulty cleaning it.
- Vessel sink. A vessel sink rests on top of the counter, although there are models that partially extend below the counter. Since vessel sinks are large and distinctive in style, they make a statement in master bathrooms and powder rooms. What you need to focus on, however, is carefully planning the height of the counter and cabinets below so the sink does not end up being too high to use.
- Washplane sink. Washplane sinks are slim, streamlined and stylish. They also take up less space than other choices. They feature a small trough made of stainless steel to catch the water before it drains into the waste pipe located in the wall behind.
