A corner bathroom sink is a useful bathroom accessory when designing or styling for a small bathroom. Whether it is in a small apartment or adding a bathroom to a restaurant, a corner bathroom sink is a great way to maximize the confines of the space you have to work with. In general a corner bathroom sink is elevated in any area of a bathroom where two walls meet at an approximately 90 degree angle, and are placed about 3 and a half to four feet off the ground.
There are a multitude of styles and materials that a corner bathroom sink can be composed of. They are most commonly built of porcelain or fine china, and in general fall in to two categories. There are corner sinks with no bottoms and then there are corner bathroom sinks with pedestals. A pedestal corner bathroom sink is slightly harder to find and somewhat defeats the purpose, as it takes up more room than a corner bathroom sink with no basin. The benefits of a corner bathroom sink with a pedestal are that they are more stylistically friendly. St Thomas Creations is one of the best brands of corner pedestal sinks out there, and can be purchased anywhere from Sear’s to Wal-Mart.
There are materials that you can find for your corner bathroom sink, however. A good environmentally friendly option is a bamboo corner bathroom sink. One of the best options on the market that fall into this category is the Natural 103 Bamboo Corner Sink by Copenhagen Sinks. This particular model is currently selling for $339.95.
In general a corner bathroom sink is much less expensive than a standard bathroom sink. This is to be expected since they are generally much smaller. You can expect to pay anywhere from $80 to $400 for a high quality corner bathroom sink.
When it comes to finding a high quality corner bathroom sink to purchase, some of the best brands to look out for include, but are not limited to, Cheviot, American Standard, Whitehaus, Kohler and Herbeau. Some of the best places to find a corner bathroom sink would include any home furnishing store or bathroom specialist. Loew’s, The Home Depot, Faucet Direct are all good options to check out. Regardless of which manufacturer and store you decide to go with, you should do a price comparison. Check out the various models you are looking at, and then check out comparable models. Are other stores charging less for a corner bathroom sink with similar dimensions and style? These are important questions to answer, and doing so will help you in getting the best possible value for your money.
Another important thing to look out for when purchasing your corner bathroom sink is a buyer’s guarantee of some sort. Whether that means a money back guarantee or a warranty, you should have some way of protecting your investment. Even if the measurements of your corner bathroom sink and your bathroom walls are compatible, it may not be a good match and you want to be sure that you are able to get a refund, even if it is in the form of a store credit. Help reduce this risk by taking proper measurements of your wall before going to the store to purchase.
