There’s a common assumption that primary bathrooms must have a double vanity. While it’s true that most homeowners do choose to include two sinks or a double vanity in their bathroom remodel, there are times when one sink is actually preferred and has a few great benefits as well.
Here are four of the top benefits of having a single sink master bathroom
- Privacy. Some folks prefer to use bathroom alone. One of the things a double vanity allows you to do is use the bathroom at the same time with your partner, but when you have only one sink, there’s more of a reason to wait your turn.
- More counter space. When you only need to fit one sink into your vanity you will gain more counter space! This is a luxury some folks will not get with a double vanity, depending on its size.
- Makes room for other features. In smaller master bathrooms you can elect to forego a second sink in order to make room for another feature such as a large walk-in shower, soaking tub, or perhaps make room for both!
- More storage space. Sinks require space for plumbing inside the vanity and if you only have one, you will have more cabinet or drawer space.
Here’s a look at two single sink master bathrooms that Thompson Remodeling renovated.
#1
We reused the existing cabinetry and painted it white and added new hardware, which was a big budget saver. The major stunner of the project is the gorgeous Cambria countertop accented with a new sink and faucet. A spacious new shower will accommodate taller users and has glass shower doors and a recessed light fixture.
#2
This primary bath features a no-threshold shower and floating vanity. Windows are strategically placed throughout to allow views to the outdoor swimming pool.
