For many people, decorating their wardrobe is one of the last things they do when decorating their home. In most houses, the wardrobe is usually a fairly small but functional room on the ground floor of the house. There isn’t usually a huge amount of space in this room, which makes deciding which sink to buy quite a tricky one. In this article, we will consider some of the factors that you should consider when buying wardrobe sinks.
Typically the most important factor people consider is the space they have in a wardrobe, which is possible with the size and dimensions of the room. For example, if it is a very large wardrobe, you are almost spoiled for choice. By comparison, a very small wardrobe can mean you really only have one or two types of wardrobe sinks to choose from.
Remember that just because you have a small wardrobe doesn’t mean you can’t still be stylish. Below, we’ve considered some of the most popular types of closet sinks, breaking down some of the pros and cons of each.
For smaller bathrooms, corner sinks are extremely popular. Corner sinks are essentially sinks that fit into a corner section of the wall. Because they are installed this way, they can maximize the space around the sink, while still being easily accessible. For bathrooms, where the actual footprint is quite small and there is less floor space, corner sinks are often the preferred option.
While it is true that corner sinks are probably best suited for wardrobes, some people also prefer to use these sinks in larger bathrooms. For example, many of the older hotels will still have corner sinks in their bathrooms. Therefore, the main advantage of corner sinks is that they take up less space, allow you to maximize your floor space, while still being highly functional.
The only real downside to corner sinks is that they sometimes tend to be a bit smaller. If you think a corner sink is the right choice for your wardrobe, be sure to do your research and find the right size for your home.
Other people prefer wall hung sinks, essentially sinks that hang on your closet wall. You can immediately see the main advantage of these sinks – they do not take up floor space as they hang on the wall. If you have a smaller wardrobe then this may be a determining factor. However, these sinks lack the functionality of corner sinks as they can still take up more outside wardrobe space.
Another advantage of wall-hung sinks is that you can customize the height of the sink. If you live in a house with your children, for example, you may need the sink to be a little lower so that your children can reach it. This is not always true of other cloakroom sinks, which can be at that slightly more awkward height.
Of course, there are other options for your wardrobe sinks, for example, pedestal units, compact units, countertop sinks, etc. The key here is to consider your bathroom or wardrobe and try to understand what would fit best. If you have time, draw a scale diagram of your bathroom. This will allow you to realistically play with multiple ideas or designs so that you can visualize the bathroom of your dreams. Remember, always take the time to consider your options and make the one that is most suitable for your home.
