If you live in old style home, where more than two family members share the bathroom, bathroom with two sinks is a functional and convenient design. Since the extended countertop space necessary to accommodate two sinks, there are a few limitations when it comes to the overall bathroom layout. Nevertheless, you can make the most of your double sinks by using the space beneath them for storage. In this tern is the linen cabinets, where you can store fluffy linen towels. Here are the design ideas you can apply.
Double Sinks with Same Countertop
The first design idea is ideal for modern, spa like appeal, if you set the sink bowls recessed in either the countertop or rest on top of the countertop. Make sure there is enough space between the sinks so sink users do not bump elbows. Opt for a straight countertop against the longest wall or an L-shaped countertop if you prefer a sink area in the corner of the bathroom. Place the toilet and shower head on the same wall as the sinks for easy plumbing installation.
Separate Vanities
It is possible to separate vanities if you use an architectural feature or self-installed furnishing to separate the sink areas, even though the sinks share the same countertop and plumbing. For example, use a bathroom beam or pillar to divide the two areas so each person has her own private space and separate mirror. Alternatively, install a medicine cabinet or linen shelf on the wall between the two sinks to create some separation. Separate sink areas with a unified countertop are functional because they do not require additional plumbing, yet they provide a distinct space for each user. This design is beneficial if you have two children who prefer to have their own space. Accommodate the privacy with decorating the sinks in different themes, a half in boy-theme, while the other one with feminine-theme.
Vanity outside the Bathroom
This is the safe design idea to choose. Some bathrooms have a vanity with a double sink outside the main bathroom space — very separate from the shower, bathtub and toilet. This design allows more privacy for individuals who need to use the toilet or shower and enables complete access to the sinks at the same time. This layout is also beneficial because sink users do not have to deal with humidity or odours from the inner bathroom.
The three design options may be edible, if you can think of the rest of your home decors and include the design of your bathroom from the beginning of the process of your home design. Most homeowners hold back the idea of decorating bathroom, they design of their bathroom or will not invest their money and time for designing it. While others have different perception
