10 Ways to Think Outside the Bathroom Sink Box

smilligan on number six... yes, I've always wanted a urinal in my home.

Becky Harris smilligan, that was EXACTLY what I was trying to say without saying it - too funny!

nmcgehee Can anyone tell me more about the backsplash material on #7? Beautiful!

leo52 My experience with a bowl sink is, it's easy to splash on the counter. So, if you put it on another durable material then granite etc... make sure it is sealed to the max!

Mary i immediately saw the urinal resemblance! oh, how that would just encourage those rascally boys............

Rania El neklawy I love your ideabooks, and I would definitely not use this sink to wash my hands

kandy smith #6 Ewwwwwwww

Sherri Mathers Yes #6 looks like you know what...but..it looks like to the left is the unmentionable. This sink looks like it would be great for washing hair...only if there were no males living in the house...I don't think I could trust them. http://twotulipstalking.blogspot.com/

optimum1 Sherbear I agree it would be too tempting, even if I could stop myself from using it, it'd be impossible for me to keep my friends from using it as a urinal when they use the washroom!

colourfulsmile Number 2! Peerfect, magic, it looks organic sneak much different then the rest.

Alanna Kunz #6- A bidet of sorts? There is what looks like a drain that is too high. Perhaps it is a spout to spurt water.

awindram Did anyone else notice the awesome wall light in #6? (Yes, It's hard to see anything else in that photo beyond the uri-sink.)

rt01268 "If you like it then put a sink on it"... :D! I would definately put a sink on this idea book as i like it so much, the only trouble is that you seem to have included everything! You've given me lots of inspiration, thanks!

patscats2 The only one I cared for was the metal leaf sculpture. I hate those that look like watering troughs or public restrooms. I'm a more traditional gal. When I see all these ultra modern, style specific rooms I wonder how these houses would be received when put on the market for sale.

lianab Re no 6 the latest wash basins coming out of Aia are freestanding like that. But the dip at the front...some of the girls aren't as tall to reach in??

Alison I think that sink should be on the FAIL website, not here!

ajeskin I usually wash my hair in the sink, but if my husband used #6 for something else, I'd just shave my head. WHAT WAS THE DESIGNER THINKING?

Becky Harris I have to admit, I only put that one in here to stir up some conversation. guess it worked :)

loveitdecorated Re #6, I believe that's 2 in 1. It is a sink plus urinal too. Highly unusual yet working for this family.

Sarah Morale Since the title of this ideabook is "...outside the bathroom sink..." I will ask my question here. We are planning to add a powder room in a short wide hall off the family room and directly across from door to backyard. It crossed my mind that having a sink in that hallway would be convenient for many reasons, and it would look very nice if placed in/on a nice long furniture piece. Would it be odd, or even non-hygienic, to have the toilet in a small room alone, and have the sink outside in the hallway serving as a mud-room of sorts.

Becky Harris semorale, this ideabook is kind of old and no longer seen very widely - you'll get a better response if you post your question to the Questions Board (just hit QUESTIONS) at the top of the home page. A lot more people will see it over there!

Sarah Morale thank you, Becky. I have just discovered houzz and am learning how thing work here. I appreciate your help!

lorreann It looks like a "Man-Bath" that combines a urinal and sink in one. A guys way to kill two birds with one stone.

alicecpoo Where did you get the jack and Jill sink? Love!!
