5 Little Sink Designs for the Cramped Bathroom

When it comes to bathroom space, you can organize to your heart’s content, but what do you do when the space you have just isn’t enough? You might dream of more counter space, a roomy vanity, or more room for your hygiene essentials, but that’s not always an option unless you start knocking down walls. If you are struggling with your vanity (the bathroom kind), then read on for a few ideas for fashionable and functional designs for a little bathroom.

Pedestal sink
Pedestal sinks were designed with the small space in mind. These sinks generally have just one thin leg, so it is easy to use other space saving elements. They usually have very little counter space, so allow room for baskets or shelves. If you have a large cabinet-style vanity that is eating up your precious bathroom space, this could be the perfect solution.



Floating Sink
If you’re really tight on space, the wall-mounted sink frees up even more space than the pedestal sink. Now there is nothing underneath to deal with, and it can be installed at any height you want. Try adding a towel rack around the sink, and then you have a clean space for any other storage.



Corner Sink
The corner sink is just that – it fits right in the corner of the bathroom—a space you likely aren’t using. The corner sink utilizes past wasted space, and gives you the opportunity to add organization around it. Corner sinks can be floating or pedestal sinks to use even less space. If you merely use the sink for washing your hands and brushing teeth, you only need a tiny sink anyways, so embrace the corner sink!



Inlaid Sink
You might be dealing with an installed cabinet in your tiny bathroom. If you add a sink on top, you keep the functionality of the cabinet but better utilize the used space. Try adding a bowl sink or inlaying a traditional sink so that you can at least have the counter space. If your current sink is too big for your liking, you can easily replace the counter top and install a smaller sink to free up counter space.



Trough sink
Trough sinks are great for the thin, long spaces. These sinks are designed to be slim but spacious, and can have four legs underneath or even be designed to float. You can add them as double or single sinks, which would be a great space-saver for a heavy use bathroom or master bathroom.



These little ideas should help give you more space in your bathroom, and allow for a better vanity as well. When you change out your sink, keep in mind the new storage options available to you. Try installing wall shelving, racks or using baskets underneath to keep that space useful and beautiful.

You’ll be surprised at how much space will be freed up for your essential items once you’ve downsized your sink and vanity area. Embrace these little designs and you’ll have more room for the stuff that matters!
