Frequently Asked Questions
What shape bathroom sink is best?
The best shape for your bathroom sink is really a matter of personal preference. A rectangular sink offers a contemporary aesthetic and often comes with a larger basin than a traditional round or oval sink, which allows for more counter space. A vessel or above-counter sink in an unexpected silhouette—think leaf, shell, or bowl designs—makes a dramatic statement in the bathroom.
What bathroom sinks are in style?
Traditional undermount sinks are always in style thanks to the clean, sleek aesthetic they impart to a bathroom vanity or countertop.
What size bathroom sink do I need?
Bathroom sinks are available in a wide range of sizes to suit your needs. If you're replacing an existing sink or adding a sink to a vanity counter with a pre-cut hole, simply measure the space available and choose a sink to fit. A vessel sink should not extend beyond the edge of the counter or the vanity. A wall-mount or pedestal sink should clear the bathroom door, and a sink with legs should allow enough clearance for a person to move about freely in the bathroom.
What is the best material for a bathroom sink?
The best materials for a bathroom sink are durable and easy to clean—vitreous china, fireclay, and ceramic sinks are popular for these reasons. Sinks fabricated in brass, copper, and other metals are as durable but more difficult to clean; the tradeoff is the elevated style they impart to the bathroom. Concrete or glass vessel and above-counter sinks make likewise style-oriented options.
