From sleek and modern to over-the-top ornate, there's a surprisingly wide range of options to choose from when it comes to bathroom sinks. Not sure where to start? The six suggestions below make this forgettable bathroom element feel museum-worthy.
1. Eco-Cool
Gore's clever Erosion Sink is a spot-on match for the person who loves eco-inspired design with a slight sense of humor. No need to check your glasses -- this ultra-cool piece is an optical illusion. From the side it looks flat but from above you can catch a bird's eye view of its subtle tiers.

2. All That Glitters
A bathroom doesn't have to feel cold and sterile. In fact, it's possible to create a space that has a hint of glamour. Kohler's
Caravan Collection Persia on Conical Bell Vessels Lavatory may have a simple build, but the delicate pink and gold Persian design on the inside gives your powder room a major dose of pretty.

3. Other-Worldly
Create an element of mystery while giving your loo a pop of color. This tempered glass sink by Red Fire Galaxy Design boasts a unique faucet that when turned off gives this piece its alien-like quality. Flip the center switch and get rewarded with a healthy wall of water, rather than the usual slim stream.

4. Whimsy
Yes, a bathroom can be whimsical. That doesn't mean tricking it out in cutesy details or ruffled decor. Instead, opt for this awe-inspiring Abisko wash basin from
Eumar. Designed to look like a water slide, this pipe-free structure lets the water flow down into a floor drain. It's a neat addition to a kid's bathroom and thanks to its bi-level design; even the littlest tyke can reach the sink.

5. Defying Gravity
Glass gives any bathroom an automatic edge. That said, this gravity-defying creation makes most modern glass sinks look positively plain Jane. Its waterfall shape literally cascades from your wall creating a wow-worthy optical illusion that will have your guests talking for weeks.

6. Zen-like
Stone doesn't have to feel clunky and overwrought. This sleek pedestal sink by Bati is just the opposite. Created from all natural materials, this modern piece adds the right amount of serenity to make your bathroom feel downright spa-like.
