Choosing The Right
Bathroom Sink

Choosing the right bathroom sink involves a little more than just finding which one looks good. Sure, you want your sink to project your bathroom's style and some sinks, like vessel sinks, can actually be the focal point of the bathroom. But before you make any buying decisions there are a few things to consider.

Whether you're remodeling, building new or just replacing an old sink will determine which direction to take when choosing a new bath sink. You'll need to be sure the sink you want is compatible with the faucet you currently have or will have, if you'll be buying both.

Other factors like installation type, configuration and material also come into play. Once you understand how to blend them with your own wants and needs, you'll be better equipped to make the right choice.

What Do I Need To Know About Bathroom Sinks?

Choosing the right sink from among the myriad of bathroom sinks that are available requires that you know a little bit about the "technical details". Once you have that down, you can pair that knowledge with whatever aesthetic and style choices you want to make.

Three important details to understand about bathroom sinks involve installation, configuration and material. It's important to understand these points so that you'll choose the right sink that's compatible with your plumbing and faucet configuration as well as your lifestyle.

  • Installation - how the sink is installed in your countertop or vanity (sometimes described as the "type" of sink)
  • Configuration - its design relative to faucet compatibility, etc.
  • Material - what material it's made from

Type Of Installation

Wall mounted sinks are affixed to the wall and work well in small bathrooms, allowing for usable space below the sink. Even if there's only room for a wastebasket, the space that it offers gives the bathroom a larger visual feel. Some wall mounted bath sinks feature a decorative cover that's installed over the plumbing and drain pipe.

Pedestal bathroom sinks are somewhat related to the wall mounted variety in that the sink basin is attached to the wall but rests on a pedestal that supports it from underneath. This is another type of bathroom sink that works well in small spaces since there's no need for a vanity. On the other hand, both pedestal and wall mounted bath sinks don't provide any storage space that you get with bathroom vanities .

Self rimming, top mount and drop-in are different names for the same type of sink. These sinks are placed in a cutout in the vanity top, secured in place by the rim of the sink. A variation of this is the tile-in sink which is a self-rimming sink that's used with a tiled countertop. The tiles usually fit over the sink's rim mak...
