Basin sinks come in all size, styles, shapes and colors. There are rectangular, round, square and oval shaped sinks and basins on the market and they can be made from marble, ceramic, vitreous china and glass. The prices vary a lot depending on what size, style and brand name you choose.
When choosing what kind of bathroom sink basin you want to install in your bathroom, consider the color of the tiles and what kind of decor you want the bathroom to have. You may want to opt for a white or a lighter color basin sink if the bathroom does not get a lot of natural light. White will help to brighten up the bathroom a bit; darker colors such as black are more suitable for larger bathrooms and/or bathrooms with a lot of natural lighting.
Consider also how large or small the bathroom is. If your bathroom is very small, you may want to consider putting in a corner sink. Corner sinks often attach to the wall and do not take up much room in the bathroom. This gives you more space and helps the bathroom to not look too cluttered. A corner sink and basin set can be quite attractive if you buy a decorative one. If you have the budget for it, you may even want to consider purchasing a corner bathroom vanity set. These are quite small but decorative in style and would give you some counter top space for needed items.
If you opt for a corner sink, then an affordable brand name to consider is Elizabethan Classics. You can buy a corner sink made from this brand name for around $85. Barclay is another affordable brand name; their corner sinks cost in the range of $110 – $125. A corner bathroom vanity usually costs at least close to $400 and often quite a bit more.
If the bathroom is medium sized or large, you may want to consider adding a bathroom vanity set instead of only putting in a sink. There are many different types of bathroom vanity sets and they come in many different sizes. A basic bathroom vanity set should include cupboard space, a counter top and a sink basin although it is important to note that many retailers do not sell all these parts together and you would need to check carefully to ensure what exactly is included.
Bathroom vanity sets, while nice looking, are also a bit pricey. Many of them cost well over $1,000 although there are a few that are in the $600 – $900 range. A few affordable ones that you may want to consider are the Dorchester Modern Vanity with Porcelain Counter top, the Morranti Cherry Modern Vanity with Glass Counter top and the Bianca 24″ Wall-Mounted Modern Vanity; these come with either a man made stone counter top or glass counter top; both cost around $900.
If you opt to simply install a wall mount or floor mount sink as opposed to a vanity, then you will find that they are a lot more affordable. In fact, if you have a very limited budget, you can get some wall mounted bathroom sink basins that cost under $100, although many cost in the $100 – $200 range, especially if you want something more decorative in style. Some of the more affordable sink basins you may want to consider are the Kohler Chesapeake Basin Wall Hung Bathroom Sink, the Kohler Kingston Basin Wall Hung Sink and the American Standard Lucerne Wall Hung Sink.
If you are looking for sinks basins that are more decorative in style, then Kraus makes some very stylish options such as the Kraus Tiger Vessel Style Bathroom Sink and the Kraus Clear 34mm Edge Glass Vessel Sink Decus Bathroom with Chrome Faucet. Be aware, however, that a Kraus sink usually costs upwards of $200.
If you have a very large bathroom, then you may want to consider purchasing a double basin bathroom sink. You can either buy the sinks alone or a vanity set that has double sinks. The latter may be a good option as a vanity will not only improve a bathroom’s decor but also help it to not appear too bare and empty. A double sink bathroom vanity usually cost at least around $1,500. One of the more affordable options are the Dreamline Black Double Basin Contemporary Vanity Set. This particular set costs a little under $1,000 for the sinks and counter top space, and then around $600 more for the cupboards and mirrors, which are both optional. Another good option is a Belle Foret vanity. These are done in antique parchment, dark cherry and medium oak and cost under $1,500; these vanity sets include the sink cupboards and counter. It should be noted, however, that these particular vanity sets are more antique in style and may not be suited to a more contemporary style bathroom.
