Before you remodel your bathroom you'll want to first decide what kind of features you want. You may already have a color scheme picked out for your walls and floors but have you thought about what kind of toilet, faucet, and sink you're looking for? There are many options available when it comes to sinks, semi recessed, free standing, and recessed.

A sink is one of the most important pieces when it comes to bathrooms. A recessed sink is one that sits or recesses completely into your counter. These are perfect for those looking for a clean, simple, streamlined look. They're also great for kid's bathrooms, as a recessed sink is easiest for them to maneuver. There are plenty of recessed options for your home.

If you're looking for a more modern look try stainless steel, marble, or wood. Marble sink basins can be found in a multitude of colors, such as dark with light marbling or light colors with dark marbling. Marble adds a sleek styling to any bathroom. Marble can also turn the simplest design into a luxurious one. Stainless steel is perfect for a streamlined look and are also relatively inexpensive.

Don't forget the eco friendly options as well. Recycled plastics and metals are being fashioned into home improvement items, including everything from piping to bathroom sinks. Bamboo is a decorative, green option that is also extremely inexpensive. There are also clay options that, after fired and treated, can be used in place of the more common porcelain sinks.

For a more traditional look you can use a classic porcelain sink. Most common in white you can get them in colors painted to match your color scheme. A porcelain sink holds up great throughout the years and are easy to clean and inexpensive. Porcelain sinks tend to be heavier and more difficult to install than others.

You can also find sinks that are built into the counter tops. These models help streamline the process and are easier to install. These are perfect for those on a budget or crunched for time. They come in a variety of colors and styles, and can easily be found at your local home improvement store.
