Bathroom sinks - what is out of style

[Assascc]

Currently redoing our bathrooms and stuck on what sink to get. Are these ones now too old fashioned (1)? Does everyone now go for a sink with a countetop, more like this (2) with a sink on top of the cabinet? What is the current trend but will also have more longevity.

I'd go for 1. 2 is a nightmare to clean. We did up two bathrooms in the past two years and got similar units to 1 and are really happy. Try to get the widest you can possibly fit.

Get number 1 - go for the biggest size possible
No. 2 is harder to clean

1 is less likely to date than 2.

Is there a reason you are wanting something "on trend" rather than just what you personally really like? Are you refurbishing to sell?

2 isn’t practical, 1 is too brown

Thank you....it's for our bathroom, so not for sell. But I dont really have a like or dislike for bathrooms so would like something that works long term and that I do not have to change anytime soon. What would be better other brown? We will be having almond/cream walls.

Since when did wash basins become sinks?

No 1 is better than no 2 which is already beginning to date. However I think a smaller sink with some space for a countertop where you can actually place things would be the best long term decision. People always will need and appreciate counter space .

A huge sink is just another trend, imo.

My apologies for being a pedant but a sink is in a kitchen and a basin is in a bathroom
I prefer the first one

This is a bit of an old thread. We went for no1 in the end and it looks great.

Hadn't realised the difference between sinks and basins...learn something new everyday. And no am not a native speaker.

Ahh thank you pedantic Billyboy! I love to learn more about the English language.
Born in USA we call both of them sinks.

a basin would be used to describe a geographical area, I.e. the Mississippi River Basin . 😁

Happy to hear the OP found the BASIN of their dreams for their bathroom even if it was months ago!

Well I am native speaker and I've always had a bathroom sink.
(From the north so we're not posh enough for a basin clearly).

no offence intended I was taught /told that by a plumber many years ago and one of the things that has stayed with me , the joys of being old !

I know this is an old thread but in case it helps anyone else I am also casting my vote for no. 1 - we used this style for two bathrooms.
Water, dust and general gluey bathroom grime will collect in under the bowl of the second unit and will be very difficult to clean.

Re: fashion - just get what you like and sod fashion. Practical and pleasing to YOUR eyes are key (unless looking to sell in the near future).
