Choosing a Bathroom Sink
There was a time when choosing the type of bathroom sink was a simple matter of
knowing which color you wanted. Once that was decided, all that you had to do
was put the sink into the vanity or other support and you were good to go. And
as with all things, the rate of change of design in the bathroom means that the
job is now much more than deciding on the right color—or any color of sink at
all.
Since there is now so much choice in the type of bathroom sink you can have it
pays to do a little—or sometimes quite a bit—of research before going ahead and
making the decision. The first thing you need to realize is that it isn't about
color—it's all about the type of materials you use because the choice of
material you choose for the sink will have a great effect on the overall look of
your bathroom, much like the materials of the bath itself. So check out the type
of materials now available before making a decision, because the look of your
bathroom sink affects the look of your bathroom.
The first and most important rule is that you don't have to stick with the
traditional porcelain sink. It still has its place, but there are many other
types of materials out there. One material that has gained popularity in recent
years for use in sinks is copper. The good think about a copper sink is that it
has a natural beauty that is hard to beat. A copper sink, if looked after
properly, will also look better as it ages, achieving a natural sheen over time.
Another material worth consideration is glass. There are now some wonderfully
designed glass sinks and washbasins available, and these can add a beautiful
contemporary look to your bathroom. One design trend of recent years is to have
the bowl resting on a surface instead of fitted into it. This can make for a
mixture of contemporary and vintage looks, with the bowl atop a surface giving a
reminder of the bathrooms of yesteryear.
But one material that really does add a touch of class to your bathroom is one
of the most natural—rock. A washbasin or sink made from rock adds a feel of
timelessness to your bathroom. There's something wonderful about the look of
water nestling in rock, almost like a rock pool in nature.
The second rule, though, in choosing a bathroom sink is that the object doesn't
have to have been designed as a sink or washbasin. For a pure vintage look,
there's always the option of simply placing a porcelain bowl on the top of the
bathroom vanity—or even an antique table. Really, the choice of a bathroom sink
is limited only by your imagination, and there's no need to stick to the old
tested materials such as porcelain. Choosing a different sink and giving your
bathroom that special look is now easier than ever.
