A small bathroom creates a number of challenges. Whether this is just the powder room with a sink and toilet or a full bath with a tub, sink and toilet, the space problems exist. Corners are an underutilized area unless the bathtub or toilet fill the space. By creatively placing this sink in a corner area, the floor space is unencumbered and appears larger than it really is.

This sink can be in a vanity, freestanding or mounted on the wall. Each has its own benefits; the use of the room and the style preferred by the owner will determine which one works best. The size of the vanity will fit the space available; these come in a compact size or slightly larger depending upon the needs. A vanity provides out-of-sight storage and creates nice clean, clear lines. The vanity can be a pine finish, mahogany veneer or done in beautiful antique white. A freestanding sink can be supported on elegant shiny chrome legs or a pedestal design mimicking those popular 1940s and 50s models with graceful sweeping white ceramic lines. A sink hanging on the wall can be just the sink space, have a wide lip for convenience or several strategically placed shelves holding necessary or ornate items. Both of these styles provide a clear view of the floor creating an illusion of space and openness.
Bathrooms with unusual configuration or size can benefit from placing a sink in one bathroom corner. These bathrooms offer a wider variety of options; the vanity or countertop can be a larger unit creating extraordinary storage areas and display shelves and present the opportunity for unique, innovative decorating or the use of multiple mirrors to make reviewing a hairstyle or wardrobe an easy 360° option. Placing a sink in a corner creates an unexpected visual effect and immediately astonishes anyone entering this room with the creativity and style this unique arrangement offers.
To create the illusion of space or disguise an unusual shaped room, a corner bathroom sink is the creative answer to many problems.
