When it comes to bath sinks, form and function are both given top billing – since most people begin and end their day in the bathroom, sinks must make life easier and more beautiful. Increasingly, personalization is key to achieving both ends, as homeowners are gravitating toward bolder choices in the bath that speak to their personal style while catering to their unique needs.
No longer are designers’ clients exclusively seeking resale value in the designs of their primary baths, half baths and powder rooms. Patterned wallpapers and unique vanity designs have all come out to play, and sinks must be able to keep up.
In addition to these aspects, busy homeowners crave simplicity when it comes to cleaning, as well as other practical considerations such as sustainability and hygiene. Simple silhouettes to facilitate cleaning and sustainably produced basins can all be found in today’s bathrooms.
Some additional trends:
- Nostalgic and “retro” features such as midcentury or Art Deco-inspired designs and colors are seeing a rise in interest.
- Vessel and wall-mounted sinks are joining undermount sinks in popularity.
- Composite materials and ceramics in vibrant colors are showing increased popularity among sink basins.
