Bathroom Sink Ideas

Frustrated by a lack of space for a sink? Pedestal sinks are terrific space-savers, but lack storage space. And larger, vanity-style structures provide ample storage but can take up a lot of room. But console sinks provide the best of both worlds -- compact size with storage underneath and counter space around the basin.

Small mosaic tiles provide the backdrop for round wall-mounted sinks. Circular mirrors mimic the shape of the sink. Wall-mounted sinks can be placed at different heights to accompany the short and the tall.

Replacing a bathroom sink can be a time-consuming and somewhat expensive update. Rather than changing out an old pedestal or wall-hung model, consider dressing up the dated fixture with a floor-length, wraparound skirt. Fabric skirts can be dressed up in any number of ways and can be changed easily and frequently without busting your budget.

An elongated sink, typically used in kitchens, contains open shelves to lend a sense of spaciousness. The depth of the basin minimizes splashing.
