Getting a new bathroom sink can help update the look of your bathroom, and give the room a whole new feel. If you are on a tight budget for your bathroom renovation, changing the bathroom sink can be a good way to get the change you are looking for without spending too much. Bathroom sinks come in a wide variety of styles and designs to suit every taste.

White porcelain bathroom sinks are traditional and one of the least expensive options. White porcelain bathroom sinks can come in many different shapes, such as round, oval or square. These sinks can be used in a countertop or on a pedestal.

Solid surface bathroom sinks are molded into the countertop. This is a good solution if you want a solid color finish on your countertop and bathroom sink. Solid surface bathroom sinks are pre-molded in standard sizes and are available at home improvement stores for reasonable prices. Custom-molded solid surface bathroom sinks are installed professionally and are generally more expensive.

Glass sink bowls are a newer trend in bathroom sink design. With glass, designers have been able to incorporate rich colors, interesting textures and creative patterns in bathroom sinks. Glass bowls are normally set with iron bases, or chrome stands. They can also be used on traditional countertops.

Metal bathroom sinks are also a popular trend. Homeowners are choosing designs in brass, stainless steel, chrome and copper to give their bathroom sink a modern and contemporary feel. These metals can also be used in combination with glass or porcelain elements for endless design combinations.

Bathroom sink bowls can be installed on any solid base, giving you endless options for your bathroom design. You can use any piece of furniture to support your bathroom sink, including low bureaus, small tables and cabinets. Plumbing is concealed in the top portion of the furniture piece, leaving the rest of the unit usable for storage.
