When deciding to purchase a bathroom sink, we have a variety of models to choose from, in various sizes, from small to medium to truly large. What size sink should we choose to best fit our interior?
What size washbasin should I choose?
A perfectly fitted bathroom sink guarantees a beautiful interior design. It's not only functional but can add character even to a small bathroom. So, which sink should you choose? Small, large, or perhaps medium-sized? Before deciding on the size, it's worth considering whether you prefer a countertop or, for example, a freestanding sink? We've discussed their advantages in another article, which we refer you to.
The second criterion to consider when choosing a sink is the bathroom's size. It should be proportional to the room's dimensions. In a small bathroom, a sink that's too large won't just look unsightly, it'll be impractical. It will take up too much space and can make movement around the room difficult. On the other hand, a small sink installed in a large bathroom will lose its charm and become lost in the crowd.
The standard width of a washbasin is between 40 and 70 centimeters, so sometimes it is worth considering installing two washbasins instead of one, which is especially useful for large families.
What is the depth of the sink?
Besides the size of the sink, another important consideration is its depth, which should be approximately 40 cm. Its shape also plays a significant role here. Countertop sinks can typically be much narrower, as part of their function is taken over by the countertop itself. Wall-mounted or freestanding sinks are typically the deepest, due to their specific function.
