No bathroom is complete without a sink. They differ in shape, color, material and size. All models have a shallow depth, they are compact, compared to kitchen sinks, have smooth curves. All this makes them the perfect item for every bathroom. Bathroom sinks fulfill not only a functional but also an aesthetic role. Therefore, some washbasins are more aimed at creating an unusual design, while others perform only a functional role. Which sink to choose is up to you, but it is better that these two characteristics are combined in one model and are aimed at comfortable operation, as well as rational use of the room.
There are several types of sinks:
- Hanging;
- Angular;
- With a curbstone.
Which type to choose depends, first of all, on the size of the room and on your personal preferences. For example, hanging imported bathroom sinks save free space. You can put a laundry basket, urn or other small piece of furniture under it. Corner sinks also play the role of space saving by using the corner of the room. Imported bathroom sinks with a curbstone take up a little more space than the rest. But in the nightstand you can store all bath accessories, detergents and more. Therefore, you do not need to add a cabinet or hang a shelf. Well, if your bathroom is large enough, you can put a voluminous original washbasin with a pedestal.
As for the choice of material, there are several options:
- Ceramics;
- Glass;
- Steel;
- Stone.
In our country, the most popular models are ceramic: porcelain or faience. They are affordable for everyone, and they serve for a long time. The disadvantage of such washbasins is that they fade over time, and the advantage that they are not afraid of any detergents, even abrasive ones. Stainless steel loses in this regard. It cannot be cleaned with harsh substances. For very small bathrooms, a glass washbasin is ideal. Due to the fact that it is transparent, more space will visually appear. For glass furniture sinks, the price will be slightly higher. Stone sinks are very solid, durable, and look original and expensive in the interior of the bathroom. The stone can be natural or artificial. Marble, granite and onyx are used for their production. The price of stone sinks for furniture is much higher. But they will also last longer than others. The stone is often used to bring to life bold interior ideas.
