Small bathroom sinks serve two major purposes: they give you more room to move around inside your bathroom,Small Bathroom Sinks Articles and they cut down your cleaning time compared to standard-sized sinks. These benefits are due not only to the smaller surface area, but also because small bathroom sinks typically do not have big storage spaces which can gather a lot of dirt. However, they do vary in both materials and design, and depending on how you want your bathroom to look, you should look out for these options when deciding to go small.

A good choice would be a wall-hung type of sink. As the name implies, this sink is mounted in such a way as to project from the wall, typically along with the faucet and the drains, with the entire setup having an open space beneath it. This type gives you two advantages: the pipes are easier to fix in the event of clogs or leaks, and the space underneath the sink may be used for storing other items, such as brushes, cleaning items, and others.

Another good choice would be a pedestal type. Here the weight of the sink is fully supported by a base that goes to the floor, and the different pipes either go up from the base or are discreetly mounted behind the sink itself. This setup also allows for some items to be stored underneath. It also prevents the sink from tilting downwards with time (as might happen with wall-mounted types). The mounting or installation is also easier with this type.

Other types to consider would be the corner-mounted sink, and smaller versions of vessel, undermount, and even vanity top sinks. Choosing them however, would need to factor in the overall dimensions of your bathroom. You also need to make sure that the space is not too small as to prevent your hands from conveniently going under the faucet. But with all these considerations in your mind, you can now start to pick one that would suit your space.
