Renovating the bathroom is one of the most common projects in the home a lot of people undertake. Changing the bathroom sink can be w very economical way of giving your room a new look.
There are many ways a new sink can be installed into the room such as a freestanding unit, a sink fixed into a countertop above a storage cabinet or just attached to a wall. Many people think the classic white porcelain sink is a little bland. This style is versatile enough to even fit into small, tight corner spaces.
Porcelain sinks do not just come in the traditional white but can be found in many colors from pink, marine blue to sea green. With these colors you can create any design and completely change the whole feel of the bathroom. Prior to firing these sinks can be painted with many different motifs to complement your scheme. After the painting process the sinks are then fired to make the designs extremely durable and permanent.
At the more expensive end of the range there are many different exotic styles of sink ranging from mahogany to expensive teak. One example of this is wood as sinks can be made out of expensive woods such as teak and mahogany. These types do take a little care though and they must be dried after each use, with a towel and also be treated annually with a new application of wax polish.
Glass sinks which have bowls that are set into countertops or mounted upon brass, chrome or wrought iron stands, are another fashionable bathroom sink innovation gaining in increasing popularity. They come in an selection of colors and textures. One spectacular design I recently saw was a copper sink sandwiched between two layers of glass. Glass is a very moldable and adaptable material that can be used to make stunning creations.
Other materials that are successfully being used in bathroom sink designs include stainless steel, chrome, brass, mosaic tile and stone. Stone is also a very organic material from which they are being currently made, but only the sink bowl needs to designed out of these materials. Luckily you only need the sink to be made out of these materials otherwise it would become extremely expensive.
Confronted by a lot of different bathroom sink designs, it's easy to get quite carried away and chose a design that might prove to be too expensive or impractical. It is, therefore, important that you initially set out your budget and think about the style you want and any practicality issues. - 30517
