The sink is the focal point of many bathroom spaces. It’s where you spend much of your morning routine, and you likely visit it more frequently throughout the day than other fixtures in the room. If you want to replace your sink during bathroom remodeling, there are several options to choose from, all with different sizes, shapes, and mounting styles. Use the following guide to determine which one is right for you.

What Are Some Popular Bathroom Sink Designs?

1. Wall-Mounted

When you’re low on floor space, consider a wall-mounted sink that doesn’t require a pedestal or vanity. The basin is installed directly into the wall at the most comfortable height above the plumbing. If you don’t want to showcase your pipes, a shroud can easily be attached to hide them.

2. Pedestal 

If you have limited square footage but prefer to hide your plumbing in a more stylish fashion, consider a pedestal sink. This design usually features a wide basin attached to a slender floor-mounted base. You can also opt for an hourglass shape. 

3. Undermount

An undermount sink is the preferred option for most bathrooms. The basin is installed directly under the vanity counter to create a smooth surface that’s easy to clean. The design also allows for cabinet space underneath for storing toiletries and other bathroom essentials.

4. Vessel

The vessel sink is a more modern design featuring a basin that sits directly on top of the vanity countertop. Many times, the bowls are made with aesthetically pleasing materials like stone, glass, crystal, or marble. Their sitting position makes them more suitable for those who want a taller sink without raising the counters.
