I laughed, then I actually did it — with some planning magic and a lot of creativity. Small bathrooms are a design challenge, but I’ve found they can spark the most exciting ideas. Today, I’m sharing 10 bathroom sink design ideas I’ve tried, tested, and sometimes failed at — so you don’t have to.1. Wall-Mounted BasinsThey free up precious floor space and make cleaning easier. I’ve used them in ultra-narrow powder rooms where even a pedestal sink felt bulky. The slim profile can also highlight stylish tiling underneath.save pin2. Vessel Sinks for a Bold StatementA vessel sink can instantly turn a simple bathroom into a showpiece. I once paired a stone vessel with a reclaimed wood countertop for a tiny loft, and it became the room’s centerpiece. Just be mindful they can add height — not ideal for very young kids.save pin3. Corner SinksPerfect for awkward layouts, they tuck neatly out of the way and open up more usable space. In one remodel, a corner sink allowed us to add a much-needed storage cabinet. It’s a trick I always keep in my bathroom design tool lineup.save pin4. Integrated Counter and SinkFor a seamless, modern look, I love moulded concrete or solid surface materials that blend sink and counter in one. No grout lines means easier cleaning. Downside? A bit pricier upfront, but worth it over time.save pin5. Floating Vanity with Undermount SinkThis combines storage with the airy feel of an open floor. In a recent project, adding LED lighting under the vanity made the whole bathroom feel twice as big.save pin6. Vintage Washstand RevivalRepurposing an antique table as a sink stand adds instant character. It’s quirky, costs less than custom cabinetry, and keeps the room from feeling too generic. I used one in a guest bath and guests still talk about it.save pin7. Double Sink in Small SpaceYes, it’s possible! I’ve done this by using a slim counter and shallow basins. Planning is everything here, and 3D mockups with a free floor plan creator have saved me from costly mistakes.save pin8. Glass Sinks for LightnessGlass basins reflect light and can make a compact bathroom feel more open. Frosted glass hides water spots better than clear — learned that after daily polishing in my own apartment.save pin9. Under-the-Counter Storage BoostEven a small cabinet or open shelf under the sink can store essentials. I once added pull-out baskets and doubled a client’s storage without touching the rest of the room.save pin10. Custom Shaped SinksWhen nothing off-the-shelf fits, I’ve worked with makers to design sinks to odd dimensions — L-shaped, super narrow, or asymmetrical. These are easiest to plan using an AI interior design tool that can visualize unusual forms.save pinFAQQ: What’s the most space-saving sink design?A: Wall-mounted basins or corner sinks are usually my go-to for really tight bathrooms.Q: Are vessel sinks hard to clean?A: The sink bowl itself is fine; it’s the counter around them that may need more frequent wiping due to splashes.Q: Should I choose form or function for a bathroom sink?A: In a small bathroom, function has to lead, but with today’s designs, you rarely have to compromise on style.Start for FREEPlease check with customer service before testing new feature.Free Room PlannerDesign your dream room online for free with the powerful room designer toolStart for FREE
