Wooden sinks: Sustainable design for your dream bathroom
The walls are freshly painted, beautiful accessories stand at the ready, and the wellness shower is already waiting: Wouldn’t it be nice if a special sink could round out the overall effect of your beautiful bathroom? Then maybe it should be something other than the classic ceramic model. Get to know the wooden variant as a stylish alternative here.
Eye-catching grains draw the eye and form a natural contrast to the cooler wall design.
Make your sink an eye-catcher
When designing the bathroom, the washing area is an extremely important aspect. This is where we start the day in the morning and take a last look at ourselves in the mirror in the evening. We spend a lot of time in this place, which is why we should also design it attractively.
The center is the bathroom sink, which is mostly made of ceramics. On the other hand, if you want to have a unique piece with a strong character, you should use a wooden sink. Each type of wood has its own special charisma and different pattern: While light varieties look very friendly, open, and natural, dark varieties emphasize the elegant, luxurious touch of the room.
Moreover, wood is a malleable raw material: You can help determine the shape of the sink and whether it should be integrated directly into the sink vanity.
The raw material is associated with nature, vitality, and tranquility. You can take this into account in your bathroom design.
Last but not least, choosing this kind of sink is an ecological decision for several reasons:
Renewable raw material: Trees grow back, which is why it is a sustainable material.
Recyclable: If you no longer need your sink, and it has been sealed in an environmentally friendly way, it can be used in your fireplace or your back yard.
Low-emission: Use wood from regional cultivation and have your design object produced locally.
Distinctive: Bathroom elements made of this natural material are rare and, by using individual woods, always unique.
Wooden sinks are the perfect fit for oases of wellbeing, as the material radiates calm and warmth. However, it can also be used in a minimalist bathroom as a stylish eye-catcher.
Two steps towards your new favorite sink
If you’ve decided on this kind of unique design, you should follow the steps below when making your purchase:
Decide on a type: Should the washing area be the eye-catcher in your designer bathroom? Or is it another element in your oasis of calm? Choose the type of wood that will stylishly emphasize the character of the room.
Decide on a shape: Round and soft, rectangular and cool – or will it be a double sink for the whole family? Choose the design that suits your needs.
Single piece or ready-made model: You can choose between a variety of models or you can have your favorite piece custom-made. When choosing, look for the regional origin and the FSC or PEFC seal, which confirm the sustainable management of forests.
Have your wooden vanity professionally installed: Only the optimal sealing of the surface and the correct installation will guarantee that you can enjoy your new sink for a long time to come.
In order for the natural material to maintain its durability for a long time, the surface must be professionally sealed. This can be done with environmentally friendly waxes or oils, although this means the sealing will have to be repeated regularly. One alternative is epoxy resin or waterproof glue.
Wood is the allrounder
Each grade is unique and individually malleable. This makes the raw material an optimal material for special and unique room designs. You can also use it in the bathroom to create an interesting eye-catcher with a sustainable character.
