Where to buy a corner bathroom sink

The bathroom has come a long way. It used to be a small building located outside the main residence - a step up from a hole in the ground. It was not until the 19th century that the outhouse "came indoors" so to speak. At first, due to the etiquette of the time, the décor was very plain - and mostly white. The sinks developed along with the bathroom, and were first simple in their design, becoming more elaborate as the centuries progressed. A corner bathroom sink is a boon in a small bathroom.

Building supply store

Building supply stores will carry corner bathroom sinks in the bath aisle. These sinks can be sink units with a vanity, wall-mounted or basin sinks that sit on top of a frame or vanity. The sinks may be made of porcelain, glass, metal or ceramic. Generally, these sinks will be small, taking up little floor space, which will be helpful in a small bathroom where space is limited. Pedestal corner sinks will also be available.

Plumbing supply store

For a wider range of corner bathroom sinks, you should probably go to a plumbing supply store. These stores will be able to offer a wider range of corner sinks in many styles, sizes, materials and more. The sinks can be inset, wall-mounted, basin sinks, designer sinks and more. The colours will vary from white to whatever, allowing you to match the sink to the décor of your bathroom. If you are redoing your bathroom, you will find toilets for sale that can match or compliment the style of the corner sink that you choose.

Architectural surplus store and antique stores

For corner bathroom sinks from other eras, going to an architectural surplus store or an antique store would be the best bet for you. There, you will find corner sinks in styles not found in the other above location. These may come with vanities or with pedestals or stands. Some may even have the original fittings which can give your bathroom a stylised and authentic look. The conditions of these sinks will vary and may feature some flaw. Depending on the condition, you may be able to restore the sink yourself, or have a professional do the restoration for you.
