Hello everyone, we are currently planning and considering options for our bathroom. We have space from wall to wall for a vanity unit that is 2.20 meters wide (7 feet 3 inches). Illuminated niches are planned in the side walls on the right and left.
We have been thinking about a white vanity cabinet with a total of six drawers (80-40-80). On top, a wooden countertop made by a carpenter with two vessel sinks, positioned so that there is still plenty of space in the middle of the countertop. We prefer vessel sinks from Alape. Instead of wall-mounted faucets, we want relatively tall faucets with levers on top, placed behind the sinks. A large mirror will cover the entire width, with recessed ceiling spotlights.
However, we have heard from many people that vessel sinks are quite impractical, everything gets wet all the time, and they are not that great overall. What are your experiences? What would you do with this 2.20-meter (7 feet 3 inches) space?
Thanks for your comments!

In our current rental apartment, we have a very new bathroom and were also given one of those flat, elongated bowl-shaped sinks on a wooden countertop.
It looks nice and is functional, but it’s a nightmare. Everything is constantly wet, cleaning is very annoying, and the sink is so shallow that it overflows if the faucet is turned on full blast.
On top of that, the thing was insanely expensive.
Once is enough, never again. Luckily, it doesn’t belong to me.

...we had/both and my wife complained equally.
What matters is a “soft” water flow, as well as a basin edge that’s high enough. Good planning is everything.
A few water drops might be visible on the mirror after morning shaving and teeth brushing, but nothing serious. Water on the countertop is usually just a few drops.
This applies to both basin versions, by the way...
The base cabinets are each 1m (3.3 feet) wide.
Good luck with your decision 🙂

Can you tell me which basins are installed in the lower picture? The furniture looks nice as well.
We were at our consultation marathon yesterday but postponed the decision on the washbasins. They had recommended a vessel sink to us. My wife really likes it. Personally, I'm not so keen on it but I can live with it...
We definitely want something deep, not a shallow one where the water runs out.

Hello Hotzenplotz,
the washbasins are extremely heavy and sturdy. I even dropped a full aftershave bottle into one, and nothing happened. They are really durable. Dyeing hair in them is no problem either.
However, they are hard to find.
It is the MANIA series by Eumar. Just google it. You can probably also order directly from the manufacturer.
No matter what you choose, definitely don’t go for a shared washbasin...
From our experience, whether it is a countertop or inset washbasin doesn’t really matter.
When the sample offer arrives, make sure to sit down before reading it ))

Whatever you do: just don’t choose a shared washbasin…You mean two separate sinks instead? Why? We don’t use the bathroom together and don’t want that.

We don’t use the bathroom at the same time The whole point of having two sinks—whether in separate or connected units—is exactly so you don’t have to wait for the other person to finish. If you’re not using it simultaneously, then you don’t really need this “dual setup,” right?
