Bathroom sinks come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, like this stylishly designed basin from Kohler's Yin Yang collection.

When remodeling an entire bathroom remodel, it’s a good idea to plan around the bathroom sink. It sets the tone for the entire room and can effectively reflect your design desires. Different bathroom sink installation types include:

• Pedestal
• Self-rimming
• Under-mount
• Vessel
• Wall-mount
• Vanity

For smaller bathrooms with limited space and ample storage, a pedestal sink is an ideal choice. Sleek, sophisticated lines create a striking design statement. These gorgeous fixtures can truly rejuvenate an outdated bathroom.

A self-rimming sink is designed to fit into a variety of countertops and is typically the easiest type to install—you essentially drop it into an opening. Self-rimming sinks are the style most commonly found in high-traffic homes, including those with kiddos.

The beauty of the under-mount sink is in its clean, modern and distinctive appearance. They’re the easiest type of sink to maintain and clean, and they also free up counter space, which is valuable real estate, especially if children share the sink.

If your countertop has room and you’re ready to make a clear design statement, a vessel sink might be for you. It sits atop your bathroom counter—which will take up a little extra room—and is designed to be your bathroom’s focal point. These artistic basins can be paired with an accompanying faucet to augment its distinct looks.

Wall-mount sinks are growing in popularity, and it’s easy to see why. These eye-catching space savers are super easy to clean. Installing a wall-mount bathroom sink requires a sturdy anchor inside the wall, but its effects are beautiful.

Vanity sinks are unique since they can come separate or together as part of a complete vanity set. The vanity as a complete piece also fills a need for bathroom furniture. Once a vanity is installed, you have your sink, countertop and storage all squared away in a neat, little package. This can be used as an accent piece or as a focal point of your entire bathroom.

The bathroom begins with the sink. That’s where you’ll spend most of your time and do most of your bathroom tasks. So why not give extra love and help get it stand out and gets it noticed?

Until next time, Happy Home Improving!
