10 of the Best Sinks for Small Bathrooms
When it comes to finding the best sinks for small bathrooms, it can feel like an impossible task. Scroll through Pinterest or your favourite interiors magazine and you could be forgiven for thinking that everyone has a huge bathroom with ample space for a free standing tub, a walk in shower and twin basins. The reality, at least here in the UK where home sizes have been shrinking for the last couple of decades, is a little different for most of us.
A lot of bathroom suites seem to have been designed for generously sized rooms where space isn’t a problem, but what if you need to find a small sink for a tight space – an ensuite perhaps, a downstairs cloakroom or maybe you just have a really tiny bathroom to work with.
I’ve tracked down ten of the best sinks for small bathrooms to help you make the most of your space, without sacrificing on style or function.

What Type of Bathroom Sink is Best for Small Bathrooms?
For small bathrooms, wall-mounted or pedestal sinks are often the best choice. These space-saving options free up valuable floor area, creating a more open feel. Wall-mounted sinks, in particular, offer a sleek, modern look while maximising space efficiency. If storage is a concern, consider a compact vanity with a small basin. Corner sinks can also be an excellent solution for tight spaces, utilising often overlooked areas. Ultimately, the best sink depends on your specific bathroom layout and storage needs, but these options generally work well in smaller spaces.
