Material selection and durability
The material of the washbasin directly affects its durability and user experience:

- Applicable scenarios: Modern or Nordic style.
Solid wood

Stone countertops

The following suggestions will help you ensure that the sink is seamlessly integrated into your home design:
- Measure the space accurately: Measure the width, depth and location of the bathroom pipes, and leave at least 60 cm of operating space. Wall-mounted sinks need to confirm the wall load-bearing capacity.
- Assess storage needs: Count daily necessities (such as towels and toiletries) and choose the right storage type. Freestanding is suitable for closed storage, and open is suitable for displaying decorations.
- Test style matching: Refer to other areas of the home (such as living room furniture and kitchen countertops) and choose consistent materials or tones. For example, a Nordic-style bathroom can be matched with the light wood finish of a wall-mounted sink.
- Prioritize durable materials: Choose quartz or marble countertops with waterproof coatings and anti-corrosion accessories to extend service life. Refer to the 2025 trends: Small space optimization (single basin, wall-mounted), shared design (double basin), open design (open) to help modernize the bathroom.
Avoid common selection errors
The following errors may affect your selection:
- Ignoring space limitations: double-basin sinks occupy small bathrooms, causing a crowded feeling.
- Inconsistent styles: industrial-style sinks are paired with country-style bathrooms, destroying the overall aesthetic.
- Insufficient storage: open sinks have limited storage and may cause clutter.
- Ignoring installation requirements: wall-mounted sinks do not check the wall load-bearing capacity, resulting in installation failure.
- Ignoring durability: low-quality materials are easily affected by moisture and deform, increasing maintenance costs.
- Solution: Measure the space in advance, clarify the needs, and consult professional brands such as CS Home to ensure a worry-free choice.
