I laughed — then realized she was serious. That project taught me that small bathrooms are the real test of creativity. Over the years, I've learned that the right sink choice can transform a cramped washroom into a beautiful, practical space. Today, I’ll share 10 bathroom sink ideas that can truly change your small bathroom game.1. Wall-Mounted SinksThey free up floor space and make cleaning easier. I used one recently in a studio apartment, paired with a narrow shelf underneath for daily essentials. It's minimal but still functional — perfect when using a bathroom layout design to test proportions before buying.save pin2. Corner SinksPerfect for awkward layouts, corner sinks use that neglected angle wisely. Just make sure you check measurements twice — I once misjudged a corner by just 3 cm and the door couldn’t open fully.save pin3. Pedestal Sinks with Slim ProfilesClassic but space-friendly if you pick a slender column. I suggest adding a slim mirror cabinet above to recover the lost storage. It keeps everything vertical, which is key in tiny spaces.save pin4. Narrow Trough SinksThese work wonders in long, narrow bathrooms. I often opt for wall taps to keep the counter surface uncluttered. A high-quality finish helps it feel intentional, not like a compromise.save pin5. Vanity with Open StorageAn open rack under the sink can double as a towel display. It’s lighter visually than closed cabinetry, but you’ll need to be tidy — clutter will be on full view.save pin6. Floating Vanity UnitsLifting cabinetry off the floor instantly makes the room look larger. It’s also a great excuse to add LED strips underneath for a soft glow. I typically mock this up in a room planning tool before installation to make sure the height feels right.save pin7. Glass Vessel SinksThey bring a touch of luxury without overwhelming the space. Opt for a clear or light-colored model to keep things airy. Just be ready for more frequent cleaning — splashes show easily.save pin8. Integrated Sink and CountertopThis creates a streamlined look and easier cleaning. I love it for busy households because there are fewer seams for grime to hide. The only challenge is precise custom fabrication — measure, measure, and measure again.save pin9. Under-Mount SinksPair them with slim stone counters to keep a low visual profile. You gain more usable counter space too. I once designed one over a petite cabinet and it became the client’s favorite feature.save pin10. Mini Farmhouse SinksYes, they exist! A compact apron front sink can bring lots of personality to a small bathroom. It’s heavier and often pricier, but totally worth it if you love that rustic charm. I even tested the look first with a 3D bathroom visualization so the client could be sure before we committed.save pinFAQQ: How do I choose the right sink for my tiny bathroom?A: Measure your space carefully, consider your storage needs, and think about installation type. Don't forget to account for door swings and walking clearance.Q: Is a wall-mounted sink better than a vanity for a small bathroom?A: Wall-mounted sinks usually make a room feel larger, but you lose hidden storage. Pairing them with wall shelves can balance the trade-off.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
