Washtub Sink Laundry Room

June 1, 2012 by Jane F 11 Comments

custom laundry room - washtub basin sink with a marble counter and backsplash - salisbury artisans via atticmagElegance married to utility is an ideal union in this handsome washtub sink laundry room.

If fixtures could talk, this galvanized steel washtub might have a story to tell. It’s the leitmotif for a beguiling washtub sink laundry room that mixes new construction with vintage style. Near perfect patina made the tub ideal to showcase in the laundry room of a Connecticut farm house. Using a bathroom concept, the washtub is placed on a marble counter, like a vessel sink. Because the tub is deep, the sink cabinet was lowered to create the right working height.

Rather than trying to build out the wall below the window – which would be too low —  designer Amanda Jones used the window like a wall and floated a shield-shaped honed marble backsplash in front of it. Breaking the usual rule about function, the ‘splash interferes with the window’s operation but, unlike a kitchen, that may not matter. The backsplash arc gracefully frames a retro style bridge-mixer faucet with porcelain handles and integral soap dish. Below the sink, chicken-wire center panels visually lighten the cabinet doors. It’s interesting to note that the wall to the left of the sink is rustic horizontal wood planks while the cabinetry wall, on the right, is more elegant and elaborately detailed.

Diamonds are always a luxury, right?  The pair-over-pair is a more formal treatment than chicken wire below the sink and should be a little out of step with a plain brick paver floor — but it isn’t. This most successful high-low blend has wonderful style and charm that makes it memorable, original and a custom laundry room look that begs you to  steal!

    Love it. The washer and dryer are almost comical hiding behind there… Completely out of place in this ‘laundry.’ 🙂

    Beautiful! But how did you connect the wash tub to the drain? I am going to do this in my laundry room and would like some advice. Thank you.

    I didn’t do this installation but I can tell you how it would be done.

    If you look at any sink you will see a 3-inch hole where the drain connects. An opening was cut into the bottom of the galvanized steel wash basin and it was placed on the top of the cabinet and connected like any other sink.

    A plumber will be able to do this but the wash basin should be provided to him.

    Best of luck with your laundry room and thanks for stopping by.

      Hi,

      It’s actually a washtub used as a sink, not a sink per se. So it can be purchased from a hardware store.

    Hi,

    I’m glad everyone likes the laundry. I built the cabinetry. David Bowen, Cabinetmaker.
