A bathroom sink is a central component of every bathroom. It’s the first thing you typically notice upon entering and the last thing you use before exiting. Practical in nature, its variations in shape, base, and color are endless. If you’re not convinced of how varied bathrooms can be, all one has to say is “I have a bathroom from the 1970s,” and you instantly know what to expect — cue the brown, green, or pink sink. Whether you’re preparing for a bathroom remodel or simply want to introduce some new flavor to your space, here’s six bathroom sink design ideas to spice up your sink area.
A simple and cost-effective way to refresh your bathroom sink decor is by adding a new mirror. It’s time to ditch the bulky frames and medicine cabinets in favor of a fun mirror — consider unique shapes, colors, or materials. To spark your creativity, think about an arched, circular, or oval mirror. Or, if you’re feeling bold and gravitate toward mid-century modern, you might opt for an abstract shape. Once you’ve chosen a shape, consider the color; options are typically limited to the classic gold, black, or white. Lastly, consider the material: if you have a wood vanity, a metal mirror could provide a good texture complement. Conversely, if your sink is more modern, a wood mirror is a solid choice. Alternatively, you could go minimalist with an edgeless glass mirror.
For those planning a redo and needing modern bathroom sink ideas, a wall-hanging sink is an excellent choice for that minimalist, clean look. If a wall-hanging sink is a new concept for you, think of it as a floating shelf, but in sink form! By nature, they’re space-conscious but for those of you wanting a bit more storage, there are also wall-hanging vanity options available.
Speaking of installing new bathroom vanities and cabinets, consider mixing multiple textures. We love concrete sinks (hey, we’re So.Crete, how can we not?) but if you’re not ready to commit to exclusive concrete, pair it with a wood vanity. Whether hanging or freestanding, both options allow for optimized storage if a freestanding sink isn’t your preference. For a middle-ground option, steel base sinks maintain the minimalist aesthetic while providing extra shelving below.
We can all agree that the bathroom sink designs of the 70s should not return, but how about a tastefully colored sink? Our standard color options include taupe, dark gray, black, or, if you’re feeling adventurous, salmon. Furthermore, we offer custom colors, ensuring that your bathroom sink design can be a unique focal point in the space. From here, you can incorporate additional textures and colors through mirrors, rugs, and towels.
Next up on our list of modern contemporary bathroom sink ideas are wall faucets. If this is a new bathroom sink design suggestion for you, they are exactly as they sound — faucets mounted to the wall. They are visually appealing, easy to clean, and save counter space. If you have children and are concerned about excess water with wall faucets, consider a bathroom sink design that includes an integrated backsplash. As you can imagine, altering your faucet setup is no small undertaking, so we advise saving this project for that bathroom redo you’ve been dreaming of.
Our final powder room sink idea — we had to use the term for our 18th-century lovers and half-bath design enthusiasts — is to consider sink shape and slant. Sink shapes vary from round to oval to square to rectangular, depending on your design preference. The shape (and size) you select for your bathroom sink design will pull together the rest of the space. Typically, rectangular sinks are more minimalist, as is true for ours at So.Crete, while round or oval sinks are more traditional. If you decide on a square or rectangular sink, adding a slant to the design is a simple way to include some uniqueness and practicality. Say hello to quick draining and drying with a ramp sink!
