16" x 11" seems a microscopic sink to me.

If I am understanding you correctly, you are installling two sinks - each meauring 16x11- onto a countertop measuring 72x22. That means that you have 10’’ on either side of the sinks. The width seems small though (22-11= 5 inches on the front and back. Is your faucet a deck or a wall mount? Most sinks end within 2-3’’ of the front of the counter. It just doesn’t seem proportionate to me. You can mock it up by cutting cardboard to your sink size and see what you think.

I've already posted a picture of what it will look with mine. my countertop is 24" with an overhang. my sink is 2" deeper. But their vanity is only 22", so the diff will even out in looks.

the finished look will be similar to this one. these sinks are about 11" deep and 16 across. give or take

Too small Don't select anything smaller than the 19 1/4"

I intend to use rectangular sinks. The dimensions are the finished dimensions, not the under counter dimensions, if that helps.

This original sink is 18 1/4 across. The actual sink is less than the 16" width, that I'm considering. The faucets will be on the countertop. And the new countertop will likely be 1 1/2 deeper, to 24".

Get an Americvan Standard Ovalyn....

1. Bowl size:
   483mm (19") wide
   391mm (15-3/8") front to back 140mm (5-1/2") deep
2. It's no more complicated than that. The vanity would have been better replaced : ) It's probably too low, considering the style and the photo.

Agreed! It's too low. We're going to raise it up. 👍 I appreciate your comment, but the existing sink basin isn't nearly that large, and I don't see the point.

Measure the thickness of the backsplash you will be adding, then the depth of the counter from back to front. Verify the size of your undermount sink with your sink dealer. Your counter fabricator (granite, quartz, whatever you choose), will come custom measure your counter, cut it and attach your chosen sink, then install the counter and a matching back-splash. I like a porcelain floor tile, selected to agree with or complement the counter material. You probably want a polished counter for ease of wiping drips into the sink. I have rectangular undermount sinks in one bathroom, and oval undermount sinks in the master bath, and a different granite for each bathroom.

@Angela, I realize this post is a couple of years old, but I’d love to know how you raised your cabinet up. I, too, have one that’s too low, but the original custom cabinet that is in there is waaaay better quality than what’s available prefab. (Can’t afford custom currently.) We’ll replace the doors and drawer fronts as well as sink & counter, but keeping all the cabinets. Would love an update on what you did to raise yours and an “after” pic. Thanks!

We only finished the project in March! We had the same concerns as you described. We compromised on the higher standard height, and added only 2" to the height. In hindsight, it was an excellent decision! My husband built two frames, 2" high. The vanity is three cabinets (2 cupboards,  and a middle section. We also have a heat vent under the middle section (drawers). His frames were built to set the cabinets - 1 cupboards and the side walls of the drawers on each square, leaving a gap under the drawer section for the vent cover.. (If that's confusing let me know.)

We realized, as we were doing the final touches, that we should have replaced the open end cap on the left side.  The end cap was trimmed with a stained baseboard. It isn't perfect, but it works for us, and we're very happy with the project. 

As the outlet on the vanity wall was being raised to accommodate the higher cabinet, with countertop and backsplash, we discovered a vent pipe running horizontally, behind the sheetrock, on that wall! We ended up having just enough room to rotate the outlet sideways, with outlet cover between the backslash and vent!
