Why Laundry Sinks Are Often Overlooked?

We are all familiar with a variety of basin sinks that are a must-have in every bathroom, powder room, or ensuite. The laundry sink on the other hand doesn’t get much attention because the laundry room is considered a utility room and something not many people will see except the family who is living there.

But every laundry needs a sink and it’s good to know there are some playful options out there.

When we think about a laundry sink, we immediately think about boring chores, washing kids’ sports clothes, soaking dirty training shoes, or getting some stubborn stains out of a white tablecloth. So, it is only natural that we don’t think much about the basin design or material.

Some laundry sinks are undermount and set in stone bench top, others are offset, like butler sinks. Depending on the look, you can choose between stainless steel sinks, ceramic sinks, fireclay sinks, or acrylic sinks. They all have different price ranges and characteristics.

Yes, laundry sinks might not be something your guests will see when visiting you for dinner, but at the end of the day, the laundry room is part of your home. Every room in a house or apartment should have some hero pieces that elevate the design and start the conversation.

Texture or colour is a great way to enhance the sink’s visibility. Choose the ribbed or textured finish for some tactile feel and maybe a black colour to make the sink really pop.
