We understand many of you might be surprised by the choice of topic for today’s blog. But believe us, when you are looking for the perfect aesthetics for your newly constructed/renovated home, everything matters. Even the slightest details. The choice of bathroom sinks may look insignificant to some, but at Elevation Interior we take our job seriously and work on the minutest details to provide you with your dream home.
A lot of thought goes while choosing an appropriate sink for the bathroom such as the layout and space of the bathroom, shape and size of the sink, preferences of the clients and even the style of the house. Not every type of sink suits every décor. If there is a space constraint, that is also to be taken into consideration. The sinks should look aesthetically pleasing without compromising on their functional aspect. After all, it is not there for the purpose of the show. It is something that is used many times a day. Read our latest blog on ‘6 Tips To Make Your Bathroom Look Luxurious’, for a better understanding.
Let us first talk about different types of Sinks and then we will talk about different shapes of sinks.
Types of Sinks
Pedestal Sinks
This is the most common type of sink. You must have seen them in most Indian households. What makes them so popular is that they are appropriate for small bathrooms. They are supported by a freestanding pedestal that hides the plumbing underneath them.
Wall Mounted Sinks
As the name suggests, this basin is mounted on the wall. Perfect for bathrooms with space crunch. As there is no pedestal underneath, it makes it easy to clean the bathroom. The drain pipe is, however, exposed. Even if you have a bigger bathroom, you can still opt for this type of sink when you are going for a minimalistic look. But, be clear as there is no support under it, don’t put too much weight on it.
Countertop Sinks
Countertops are so in trend these days. Sitting on the top of a counter or vanity, they are the definition of elegance and sophistication. And the variety of design options will blow your mind. It ranges from porcelain to glass to marble and other stones.
Undermount Sink
Undermount sinks are very popular in western countries and have now paved their way in this country too. They are a new concept. These sinks are so designed that they are mounted underneath the countertop. They give a seamless look. They are best suited for modern and contemporary-styled bathrooms.
Corner Sinks
As you may have guessed, they are meant for the corner of the bathrooms. They are generally used in small-sized bathrooms to effectively utilize the space. They may or may not have a pedestal. Wall-mounted corner sinks are as popular as those with pedestals.
Console Sinks
These are among the newest trends in interior design. The sink sits on the countertop that is supported by two legs. The plumbing of this type of sink is exposed giving it an airy look. The legs can be made of metal or stone or porcelain. However, metal ones are the most popular ones.
Drop-in Sink
Yup. Just drop it in. We mean figuratively, of course. It is designed to fit on the countertop. They are also called self-rimming sinks. They go pretty well with modern-style bathrooms. A plus point of a drop-in sink is that it can be easily replaced if required and never goes out of style.
Steel Sink
These eco-friendly non-rust sinks are stylish and sustainable. If you install a stainless-steel sink, you are good to go for years to come. They are sleek and don’t lose their charm. Another plus point is that they are easy to clean.
Vessel Sink
This deep vessel shape sink is so designed that water doesn’t spill out when you use it. Its functionality is appreciated by those who can’t bend a lot. This countertop design can be accompanied by wall-mounted faucets. It is a very popular modern design.
Shapes of Sink
Moving forward we have shapes of the sink. All the above-mentioned designs are available in different shapes and sizes. Check out some of the popular shapes and styles below
