THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CONSIDERING A WALL-MOUNT SINK

If you are remodeling a small bathroom or powder room, selecting a wall-mount sink is a way to make a small space feel larger.

Wall-mount sinks can be a clean and contemporary option for a bathroom remodel -

Wall-mount sinks are not the best choice for every space, however.  If you don’t have cabinets anywhere else in the bathroom and you need storage, a vanity with storage wins out every time.

If you do decide on a wall-mount sink, being cognizant that faucet piping, p-traps and possibly faucet supply lines, will be exposed underneath the sink may influence your decision. Spending time to make appropriate selections will ultimately give you the look you desire.  

The good news is there are p-traps and faucet supply lines designed specifically for when they will be exposed. Indeed, if you embrace them, they can contribute to the look you want to achieve. The p-trap below, manufactured by Brooklyn based Watermark Designs, is a clean, contemporary version.

As are the faucet supply lines or faucet supply kit in the same line,

Faucet supply kits can be specified with handles that match the handles of the faucet, for a unified design.  The supply kit above and the faucet below are fitted with the same lever handles.

A faucet selection that will enhance the look further is a wall-mount faucet.  If the site conditions allow, a faucet mounted to the wall will have an in-wall valve, eliminating the exposed supply kit portion below the sink. In that case only the p-trap will be exposed. A wall-mount faucet has the additional quality of being a space saver, so if it’s a small bathroom with a narrow sink, it may be the perfect choice.

As with other elements in your bathroom design, there are a wide selection of options that can be considered before making the best choices for your project. Keeping exposed piping in mind and spending time to make these selections as well as a wall-mount sink selection will help you achieve the overall look you desire for your bathroom remodel!
