Trend Alert: Integrated Bathroom Sink

Not quite ready for an entire home remodel?  A bathroom renovation is a great first step to designing your dream home. Whether you’re imagining a new master bath or a beautiful powder room, we have a few tips to make the “mini” residential remodel go the extra mile. Skip the decorative vessel sink, forgo the floating sink, and opt for the integrated sink. The what? An integrated sink is a countertop with a built-in sink, both made from the same material. It’s a perfect solution for contemporary and modern bathrooms, and also works well for transitional styles. 

We love this residential design look because using one material creates a smooth, seamless appearance. As modernists say, form follows function. From a functional standpoint, the integrated bathroom sink is easy-to-clean. The seams are hardly visible, alleviating the potential for soap scum and water to build up on the surface. Aesthetically, the overall look of the integrated sink and vanity feels more pleasing. There are endless design possibilities. Available in a variety of material (porcelain, marble, stainless steel, concrete, solid surface) and an array of bowl styles, sizes and shapes, the integrated sink presents the perfect opportunity to show off your personal style. Plus, going with an integrated sink can streamline the remodeling process (two for one material), create a unified backdrop for plumbing fixtures and faucets, and make a statement. Be it bold, understated or simply sleek, the integrated sink offers lasting benefits for years to come.
