The importance of the sink and the toilet in the bathroom is phenomenal. These are the appliances most used in the household bathroom, which is why you want to choose ones that are going to be the most functional in your bathroom so that you and your family are as comfortable as possible while using them.

There are several aspects to the toilet and sink that you need to think about when choosing which ones are right for your particular bathroom. Here are some questions for you to think about when deciding which sink and toilet is right for your situation:

How many people are going to be sharing this bathroom? For example, if you have more than just a couple people sharing one bathroom, you may need to choose a toilet that does not run for long periods of time. This allows for the toilet to be flushed multiple times in a shorter span of time.

Who is going to be using the bathroom? If you have younger children in the house, you may want to choose a sink that puts a limit on the water pressure and temperature the faucet is able to produce.

How easy will it be to clean these appliances and will they stain easily? If you have a lot of people in the house, and especially a household with kids, it may not always be convenient to clean on a constant basis and your appliances may become stained faster than if there is just one or two people in the household. For this reason, you may not want to choose a toilet or sink that's sparkly white. Instead, try getting something more neutral colored or even in a darker tone.

After functionality, comes design. If you are going to the trouble to put these appliances in your house, you might as well make them look good at the same time. For this, there is a whole other list of things to take into consideration. What style are you looking for? There are antique, retro, contemporary, luxury and many other styles and looks to choose from. What color scheme do you want? How big do you want your sink to be?

With all these things in mind, it should be a little bit easier to make some decisions about the type of toilet and sink you want to put in your bathroom. If you need more ideas, try consulting your neighborhood hardware store.
