No Cutting Corners - Using Corner Sinks to Spice Up the Bathroom

Too often, when it comes to home renovations, many homeowners think that there is not much room for creativity. With small spaces and bulky, set pieces of furniture, bathrooms can seem somewhat limited in terms of overall design. However, for homeowners who are willing to think outside the box, there are plenty of options to both maximize the space as well as giving the room a distinctive flair that is sure to breathe new life into an old space, as well as increase the value of your home.

One way to redefine a bathroom is to consider a corner sink. A sink is a staple in any bathroom, from a first floor water closet to a spa-inspired master bath. While many people may consider the different styles of bathroom sinks, from pedestal units to modern basins units, it is also important to remember that a sink can be chosen not only for its style and material, but for its placement as well.

A corner sink may be an unconventional choice, but there are many reasons that some homeowners may discover that it is the smartest choice for their space. The first reason to consider corner sinks is that it is an efficient use of space. Some bathrooms, especially in older homes, are exceptionally small. In some extreme cases, it is actually nothing more than a converted closet, which is obviously very small and leaves little room for creativity in the design. Because of this, fitting in all the necessary components can be a difficult task, leaving homeowners with an awkward layout and no room to maneuver. By choosing to use a corner sink, homeowners can use their space in a way that opens up the floor, which can make even the smallest bathroom seem a little bit larger.

Another reason to consider using a corner sink is for purely stylistic reasons. Since bathrooms often have prescribed items to go in the space, such as a toilet, sink, and bathtub, finding ways to set the room apart can be difficult. By opting to use a corner sink, a bathroom will have a more custom look, making it both space efficient and stylistically memorable.
Since corner bathroom sinks are not as common, there may be a smaller selection for homeowners to choose from, but it is still possible to find one that fits in to any decor. From pedestal sinks positioned on an angle, to more custom looking vanities, and even units installed floating on the wall, it is possible to find the perfect unit to light up the corner of any bathroom.
