Consumers and interior designers are almost always looking for a way to make the greatest visual impact at the lowest possible cost. One of the hardest rooms to do this in is typically the bathroom. With the rise in popularity of copper sinks however, that low-cost eye catching accessory may be the must-have fixture for every home. Copper bathroom sinks not only make a very bold statement, they are also functional, affordable, and available in a wide range of design and finish options.
Functional Benefits of Copper Bathroom Sinks
Since the bathroom is usually the least favorite room in the house to clean, often requiring several varieties of strong chemical sprays and scrubs, a copper bathroom sink is a welcome addition since it only requires a simple soap and water mixture to be cleaned with. Having a copper bathroom sink means no more harsh fumes from environmentally unfriendly cleaning agents, just a simple cleaning method that is effective and effortless. The need for disinfectants is also eliminated since copper has a natural anti-bacterial nature and is, essentially, self-disinfecting.
Pitch The Porcelain
There are only so many ways you can improve the look of a porcelain sink. Copper bathroom sinks, on the other hand, can range from old world hand hammered designs to ultra modern vessel sinks that appear more as a piece or at than a bathroom fixture. Copper bathroom sinks can be extremely ornate, containing intricate laser etchings on the surface or mosaic inlays. They can be extremely vintage in appearance, with detailed scroll work hammered into the metal itself, finished with an antiqued satin finish. On the other end if the spectrum, they can also be very minimalistic with smooth lines, clean angles, and modern polished finishes. Unlike many metals, copper can also range in color from a bright orange toned metal to a deep greenish patina. The metal itself will change color over time, but the process can be slowed, accelerated, or even stopped, as needed, to allow the consumer to achieve the perfect tone they desire.
These are just a few examples of how versatile a copper bathroom kitchen sink can be, and how it is extremely simple to find a design and finish combination to suit your needs exactly.
