In the design of a bathroom vanity, the following elements are always essential in the selection of a bathroom sink.

Shape
It is always eye-catching if you have installed a bathroom sink with a special streamlined shape. No matter an egg shape, oval or sloping cylinder, a good designer would effectively integrate the appearance with its functionality. The creativity of the shape is sometimes reflected by the overall arrangement of the surrounding landscape, for example, the wall decals, supporting tables, the tile used, etc.
Color
White is the color of most bathroom sinks. As a sanitary appliance, the bathroom sink is expected to process the ability of self cleaning. White is the color free of debris, representing cleanness, which is mostly recognized . The color of a ceramic sink normally comes from its firing process at high temperature. Its color is permanent unless the surface is broken. Some creative designs may use deep colors, like black as the color of the sink. Black is cool if it’s well integrated in the overall decoration of the room.
Installation Pattern
There are two main types of sinks if categorized by installation method, self rimming sinks and undermount sinks. The self rimming sinks are probably easiest sinks in terms of installation. You just need to drop it into the countertop. It has rounded corners underneath, there’s no need for any additional rim around it. The undermount is braced and installed under the countertop. There is no sink rim on top of the counter to collect dirt and particles. There are other creative ideas of installation pattern nowadays, such as wall mounted bathroom sinks, free standing sinks. The right installation is important to extend the life of the sinks and prevent the problem of leakage.
Bathroom sink materials
Sinks could be made of many different materials. Ceramic sinks are probably the most popular ones. There are two different types of ceramic materials used for making sanitary sinks – porcelain and pottery. The porcelain is the baked-clay wares fired at relatively high temperatures. The firing temperature for pottery is relatively lower. The porcelain normally has stronger rigidity than the pottery. Except ceramic, glass, stone and enameled steel or cast iron could also be used to make washbasins or sinks. Some of sinks are made from mineral casting with durable gel coat finish.
