When most people think about kitchen sinks, they think about a basin positioned in the middle of a counter, often below a window for natural light. However, corner sinks, which are becomingly increasingly popular, are another option for many homeowners.

Use these tips to determine if a corner sink is right for your kitchen:

  • You have corner windows. Some kitchens have angled windows to increase counter space. If that describes your kitchen, a corner sink is an ideal option so you’ll have natural light during the day.
  • You have small counters. Cutting a counter up diminishes your work area. However, a smaller corner sink uses all the available space and makes a small kitchen feel a bit more functional, especially for dedicated home chefs.
  • Your home has a very large kitchen or a long galley-style kitchen. In a large kitchen, long countertops can make the space feel boring and very sterile. Building or remodeling it to have a curve and a corner sink can help visually break up the space and make it more exciting to the eye.

Many homeowners don’t think about the lighting in their bathroom, electing to use simple fixtures that were already in their home when they moved in. However, bathroom lighting is more important than you think since you likely get ready for big days and nights there.

Use these tips to perfect your bathroom lighting:

  • Incorporate task lighting into the bathroom. Task lighting includes lamps that can sit on a vanity surface or even sconces that hang on the wall. This type of focused light is ideal for things like putting on makeup or perfecting that tie knot.
  • Make sure you’ve got proper vanity lighting. Proper vanity lighting should be about 75 to 80 inches off the floor and should use 150 watt bulbs. Some older homes may have vanity lights that don’t match those specifications, and your bathroom could feel dark and dim because of it.
  • Put ambient lighting in your space to fill the whole bathroom with a well-lit atmosphere. Ambient lighting can mean an overhead fixture like a chandelier, or it can mean pendants or recessed lights. Use a type of lighting that fits your style, but don’t skip ambient lights.

Contact European Sink for more information on appropriate lighting for your bathroom.

 ]]> Beautiful Bathtub Ideas That Inspire

Source: Houzz

New, exciting bathtubs seem to pop up every few years, in all sorts of shapes and with unique features. Though bathtubs are changing, other bathtub designs seem to be sticking to the classic appeal of a traditional tub. When choosing a bathtub, it can be hard to know which one is right for you.

Use this quick guide to find bathtub ideas that are both inspiring and perfect for your home.

  • Rectangular tubs are perhaps the hottest new trend in bathtub design mostly because they provide a modern, sleek appeal to many bathrooms and homes. However, rectangular tubs are made of all sorts of materials, and they don’t have to look ultra-modern. They can also serve to make small bathrooms look and feel a little bit larger than they really are.
  • Clear tubs are perhaps the most contemporary of the bunch, and they can fit in a variety of spaces, even unique ones like art-deco homes. Take note that they may not pair well with antiques in a traditional home.
  • If you have a traditional home, you can’t go wrong with an updated claw-foot tub. These never go out of style.

Contact European Sink for more information on different bathtub designs you can use in your home.
