Remodeling bathrooms

9 years ago

I am remodeling two bathrooms ..guest not master. One vanity is 50" x 22.5" and the other is 68" x 22.5 inches. I am so confused as to size of sink for each. Both bathrooms are narrow. Thinking not an under mount ..help please.

Dear crystalgday,

Congratulations on taking the remodelling plunge! The size & shape of your vanity sink is generally a matter of personal preference or selecting a sink that would complement your design style.

We've been a big fan of rectangular undermount sinks this year, but if you're looking to stay away from the undermount, a vessel or above-counter sink is worth consideration. In terms of sizing, perhaps a 19-21" wide sink for the 50" vanity and a 24" wide sink in the 68" vanity would work well in those spaces.

I've attached a shot of a 22" wide vessel sink we used in a powder room with a 60" vanity - let me know what you think?

Good Luck Crystal!

Above counters sinks usually are smaller, and you can also opt for small pedestal sinks.

3-form is great, you can also visit www.decorativefilm.com for lots of great options to apply to any standard glass. The biggest advantage of film on glass vs. frosted glass is the ability to change it down the road for a fraction of the cost of replacing the glass.

Thanks, lefty47. This is an older home, and just as One Plan guessed it is a soil stack from the upstairs bathroom. You are probably right that the cost of a custom solution may outweigh the benefits. Another idea I had, along the lines of the worktop bin suggested by One Plan, is a recessed spatula and long-handled utensil holder. I found out that Lee Valley sells motorized tv lift kits like the one used in the video above. It would be a matter of getting the contractor to build the box to go on the lift. I'm still a bit hung up on the idea, though it probably falls into your cost-outweighs-benefit category! I may bring this photo around with me when interviewing prospective contractors, just to see how they answer!

If privacy is the issue, get the sliders tinted to about 70%. You'll still get most of the natural light but will have privacy. Now, keep in mind this only works during the day. At night you are exposed. To address this, you may wish to do a floor to ceiling white sheer/linen curtains. The number of folds in the curtain will dictate the amount of visible silhouette at night. Best of luck!

Master bedroom with the bathroom door closed. The Chinese wedding cabinet will move to another room. Now with the door opened and a wider view of the bedroom. Getting closer. The sink is protruding quite a lot in the room. I imagine one rectangular slate that is going from the door opening to the column. A view from the other side. The bath tub with the door closed. The same with the door opened, blocking the access to the tub. A view showing the glass that forms part of the corner of the room. I an thinking of hacking the glass area and the portion of the wall between the glass and the door leading to the bathroom, leaving the bottom part to prevent water from going to the bedroom. To close the space, I am thinking of folding nyato panels similar to the cabinet's doors for a unified look perhaps with some areas in stained glass for a Peranakan accent.

A vessel sink would make the counter feel larger than most top mounted sinks. However, it all depends on what you like better in terms of aesthetics.

You might also consider a two faucet/one sink approach similar to what is shown in the below image.

Vessel sinks are more for look BUT you have to think about the cleaning they require before you purchase one. Gunk and toothpaste stains will show through translucent glass vessel sinks and it's harder to clean around the base of the sink where the sink meets the countertop.

19"-21" is a good size for the vanities you have. Question, do you already have a countertop? You have to make sure that the sink that you get will meet the dimensions and faucet spread of the counter you have unless you plan on having them drilled. Another idea that you can think about is an integrated sink. They're very easy to clean and they look great. Here are some that you can look at for ideas:
