How to choose the right bathroom sink

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

What style of sinks are there?

* Pedestal sinks are used to conceal the pipes and drains for a neat finish. They are available in traditonal styles to angular, contemporary designs.

* Wall-hung sink are ideal for compact bathrooms as they create a sense of space by allowing more floor space to be seen. Consider using storage baskets below the sink for an attractive display idea.

* Bowl basins are a stylish choice and will bring a modern look to the bathroom, but make sure they are at least 45cm deep so they don't splash water over the floor.

* Countertops with an undermounted sink create a sleek and streamlined look, and also create plenty of worktop surface around the sink for toiletries.

* Basins with vanity units are a great storage solution as the cupboards below can store away all sorts of clutter, including unsightly cleaning products.

* Console sinks with legs are either fixed to the wall or sit on top of a counter and bring a contemporary look to the space.
