Large and spacious bathrooms are the current trend being set by many
home-owners. However, not all home-owners have the same luxury. If you
live in a house or apartment with a small bathroom, it may be in your interest to invest in scaled-down fixtures and products in order to utilize the most space available. Bathroom sinks
are one of the most
used fixtures in the home, so it is important to choose the right sink
for you and the size of your bathroom without compromising practicality.
For those people with en-suites and secondary bathrooms or water closets which are smaller in size than average, mini sinks are a common-sense solution to fitting the space with the fixtures
needed.
Size matters
Choosing smaller fixtures in a bathroom creates the illusion of space as it makes the rest of the room look larger in comparison. This fact is as true of bathroom sinks as with showers, tubs and cupboards. This tip should be remembered when renting an apartment or house when you don’t have the option of knocking down walls or manipulating layout to create more space.

Styles
Small or mini-sized sinks are readily available from most bathroom
manufacturers. You have many options to choose from such as this
fantastic wooden design from Italian company Agape.
There are a plethora of colors, shapes and patterns available in small bathroom
sinks. Many manufacturers make replicas of other regular sized models
so that renovators can pick and choose fixtures according to their
needs.
Like regular-sized sinks, there are a variety of materials which can be used. Glass is a trendy option
Varieties
Small sinks come in three main formats – pedestal, wall-hung and corner
sinks. Each of these formats can add a lot of space to your bathroom and
they are purposely built for space-saving. Wall-hung varieties can look
great and save space, but be wary that you may be losing valuable
storage space usually provided by vanity cupboards. For some great
corner-sink idea
Tips
The position of the faucet and taps are important when installing
your sink. Since you are choosing a smaller-sized sink, there may be
less room in depth and diameter for washing your hands in the basin.
Putting the faucet in the corner will ensure you are allowing the
greatest possible space for this. It is also possible to place the
faucets and taps so that they protrude from the wall above the sink – this is practical and also adds to the unique look of the sink.
