Rustic Basin Sinks

April 13, 2012 by Jane F 10 Comments

basin sinks - dark square basin sink used on a bead board bathroom vanity - brian vanden brink via AtticmagSpecial rustic basin sinks and trough sinks add character and a sense of luxury to a bathroom.

Bathroom sinks are defying conventional style and breaking out into a wide range of shapes, colors and sizes. Some rustic basin sinks, are installed like vessels, mounted on top of a cabinet while others are worked into vanities in unusual ways. The beauty of this approach is its uniqueness and personalization – something to be valued at a time when, due to cost pressures, big-box-stores are the sources for so many bathroom fixtures.

A dark industrial-style basin sink mixes [top] surprisingly well with country bead board. The vintage look,with its scratches and dings, implies a sense of history and mystery. Tailoring the sink base to the size of the sink, and holding it in place visually with the slim stone ledge, gives it an imposing presence. A closer look reveals that this is a tight space solution so, logically, the faucet is mounted on the wall.

basin sinks - double trough sink with integral back splash used in a rustic wood vanity - Locati Architects via AtticmagVisual context can be transformational as evidenced by this double utility sink with integral backsplash installed in a super rustic, western style bathroom. A very similar sink (or possibly even the same one) looks completely different set in a minimalist vanity in my Mosaic to the Max post.  Kohler’s Brockway wash sink has the same look which is compatible with the “medical lab” style Kohler Cannock faucets and integral soap dish.

But the point of old salvaged pieces with patina and imperfections is to up the character quotient, certainly the case  in this cottage bath.

    The weathered vanity and beadboard wainscoting are a great fit with the industrial sink in the first picture!

    Hi Alicia,

    My best guess is that sink’s either a medical style or vintage. I’ve never seen another one but if I do I will let you know.

    Meanwhile, there are two 30-inch sinks which are similar in style but single, not double. They could be installed as a pair.

    One is made by American Standard

    The other is Kohler’s Guilford

    Hope that gives you a start and I’ll keep an eye out for something larger.

    Thanks for visiting. Jane

      Hi Maria Luis,

      I believe the faucet is made by Chicago Faucets. Here is a link to the style.

    Hi Jane,

    Do you know where I can find the dark industrial sink in the first pic?

    Thanks…

    Hi Neysa,

    That photo was from a photgrapher’s portfolio so there’s no way to get any info.

    It’s a very unique sink and my guess is that it’s a vintage sink. Depending whether the industrial aspect appeals most to you, or it’s the color, or it’s the configuration would suggest different ways to find something that comes close.

    If I was going to try to duplicate it I would try to find a soapstone or granite sink with similar dimensions. Or, at least, I would start there. To start, I’d do a google search for “black stone vessel sink” and click on images on top. That should give you good leads. I expect there might be a Chinese manufacturer who could replicate the sink from the photo. What that would cost is another matter, of course.

    Good luck with you search and I hope you’ll come back and tell us about the outcome.

    Best, Jane
