Bathroom Sinks

When shopping for bathroom sinks, you have a plethora of options. No matter your plumbing situation; whether your drains come from the floor or the wall, how much space you're working with, or the design you're going for, there's a perfect sink for you. Wayfair carries dozens of types of bathroom sinks, so having options is never a problem! It's choosing the right sink for your needs that requires more thought. Below are the six most popular bathroom sinks.

• You may find it easier to settle for a bathroom sink that already has a faucet included. Wayfair has thousands of faucet/sink combinations for you to browse through.
• An overflow is also an important feature. Vessel sinks, for example, can come with an overflow, but that doesn't mean every single one will.
• The shape of the sink will depend on a couple different factors, like whether you already have a vanity and what kind of cut you're working work.
• The faucet holes are a commonly overlooked feature to new sink purchasers. Certain type of sinks like vessel sinks and some undermount sinks don't have any faucet holes. Those will usually be drilled through your vanity for counter faucets or through your wall for wall mounted faucets. Other sinks like drop in sinks, pedestal sinks, and wall mounted sinks can come with one, two, three, or four holes.
• If you're already tight on space, we recommend a single hole faucet that includes the spout with the lever and knobs in one unit.
• If you've got more real estate to work with, consider getting a widespread faucet with a soap pump!

Now that you have a better idea of what to look out for when shopping online for Wayfair bathroom sinks, here are some personal tips from a few bloggers about their bathroom sink makeover process!

W: How did you choose your bathroom sink? Did a certain color drive your decision? Were you trying to match it with something in the bathroom?

A: Honestly, the price was a huge driving factor for me. I couldn't spend over $200 on the sink, it just wasn't in the budget. I wanted a vessel sink that was sleek and modern, but without too many colors and embellishments. When I saw the sink I picked, it fit all the requirements. I loved it from the start. It was one of the first things I put in the plans for the bathroom.

W: How did you install the bathroom sink? Why did you choose this installation method?

A: I installed it myself. It's a vessel sink, and I used the guide that came with it to build the vanity top out of concrete. When I poured the concrete, I did so to fit the sink. Then I just used regular plumbing pipes to do the rest. I had to buy a faucet with a drain, but that was easy to find.

W: What do you like most about your sink? Why?

A: I would say the style for sure. I love the look of it. Also, it's really easy to wipe down and clean.

W: How did you choose your bathroom sink? Did a certain color drive your decision? Were you trying to match it with something in the bathroom?

C: I knew I wanted to lighten the space, since it is rather small, so I wanted to go with a white vanity. I loved the look of a marble top, so I began my online search with that description. I loved the look of one and found that the local big box hardware store sold it, so I went to see it in person. I was sold the second I laid my eyes on it!

W: How did you install the bathroom sink? Why did you choose this installation method?

C: We hired out for the sink installation. My husband and I are pretty good at DIY, but when it comes to plumbing we didn't want anything to go wrong. We contacted a friend of a friend who came and installed the sink for us.

W: What do you like most about your sink? Why?

C: My favorite part about the sink is the shape of it. Rather than your typical rectangular top and bottom, the two front corners come to an angle giving it a very different look from what I've ever seen.

W: How did you choose your bathroom sink? Did a certain color drive your decision? Were you trying to match it with something in the bathroom?

A: We landed on this sink because we needed a vessel sink to accommodate two full drawer stacks with just pipes in the center. We also wanted a sink with simple, modern lines for the look and easy cleaning.

W: How did you install the bathroom sink? Why did you choose this installation method?

A: To install the sink, we simply set it on top with a bead of silicone about an inch in from the outer edge of the sink base. Between the silicone and the drain, the sink is securely in place but could also be changed out without difficulty down the road.

W: What do you like most about your sink? Why?

A: I love the simplicity most of all, because it lets all of the other elements of the room stand out but is also a good supporting role.

W: How did you choose your bathroom sink? Did a certain color drive your decision? Were you trying to match it with something in the bathroom?

We: I wanted a sink that complemented the light green frosted glass subway tiles I used on the walls. They reminded me of sea glass we used to find at the shore as a kid. I wasn't looking for a glass sink and counter, but as soon as I saw it, I knew that it was the perfect fit.

W: How did you install the bathroom sink? Why did you choose this installation method?

We: The sink and cabinet came as a set already attached. It was an easy installation, since the back was already open and the shelves were modified for the plumbing. All we had to do was slide it into place, install the faucet, and attach the drains and water lines.

W: What do you like most about your sink? Why?

We: I love that it's unique and functional. People still walk into the bathroom and say wow, and compliment us on the design. It's also very easy to keep clean and has been surprisingly durable. The other big benefit is the added storage from the cabinet. Even though it's a vanity made for a small space, it came with lots of extra storage space, and that's a big plus in a small bathroom.

W: How did you choose your bathroom sink? Did a certain color drive your decision? Were you trying to match it with something in the bathroom?

M: As a first-time homeowner, I'm on a budget, and I have to prioritize many projects throughout our house. My goal with replacing our bathroom's sink was to accomplish a make-it-work makeover. I don't love our bathroom's granite tile, but it's in great shape, and I can live with it for several years. The previous sink, however, downgraded the bathroom from "pretty okay!" to "haaaaate it." Our new sink is affordable and functional, and it's really transformed how I feel about the bathroom.

W: How did you install the bathroom sink? Why did you choose this installation method?

M: I'm proud to say that I installed the bathroom sink myself! I chose this method because I enjoyed the challenge and saved money. Before buying our house, I had never done any plumbing work. It was daunting because water can be so quick and thoroughly ruinous should anything go wrong. I installed a new utility sink in our basement to test my skills and then tackled this bathroom sink on my own without disaster. If you're handy and enjoy finding solutions to problems, plumbing is a doable DIY. Do your research: watch videos online, check out books from the library, and dive in. And, just in case, have a plumber's phone number ready to go!

W: What do you like most about your sink? Why?

M: Our bathroom is quite small, so what I like most about this sink is that it makes the most of the available space. The vanity offers more storage in a smaller footprint than the previous saucer sink. The new sink does have a smaller surrounding edge, but it's actually functional because it's level — the previous sink ledge sloped inward.

W: How did you choose your bathroom sink? Did a certain color drive your decision? Were you trying to match it with something in the bathroom?

N: We chose this particular sink for size. The guest bath is small and narrow, and this sink was the perfect fit.

W: How did you install the bathroom sink? Why did you choose this installation method?

N: This sink actually came as a "kit" and so it fit together perfectly with the cabinet base. As such, installation was a breeze.

W: What do you like most about your sink? Why?

N: I love how the sink curves downward toward the drain. It's sort of more dramatic than most. The cabinet base is sleek and narrow but has just enough space underneath for a bit of storage. My favorite part? That would have to be the faucet. I love the contrasting dark along with the white of the sink and surrounding areas.
