How to choose the right bathroom sink

With so many styles available, here's what you need to know.

Think about the space

* Consider the size of your bathroom and where the sink will go. If you're starting from scratch and designing a new layout, then allow as much space as possible around the sink for movement and toiletries. If you space, twin basins are ideal for large families.

*Most basins protrude 50cm from the wall, but there are designs with a projection of 40cm. Make sure the sink won't interfere with the rest of the room.

* If you're replacing an existing sink, make sure the new plumbing fittings will fit, as you don't want unsightly water pipes sticking out.
