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!

The purpose of having two sinks – whether with separate or connected cabinetry – is exactly so that you don’t have to wait for the other person to finish. Without simultaneous use, you don’t really need this “two-lane” setup(? ? ?)That’s exactly my point. It doesn’t make sense for us. We only need one sink.
It will probably be a Villeroy & Boch Venticello – so not a countertop basin. We just visited Reuter.

We only need one washbasin.Oh, in that case, I would reduce the size of the bathroom rather than the bedroom to make room for the dressing area.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

We are planning a bathtub with a whirlpool function, requiring the necessary width for the equipment, where the double washbasin is marked on the floor plan. Sort of like a "prime spot for a cool tub."
The washbasin will then be roughly centered on the partition wall to the walk-in closet.
...jo, 11ant. I agree. One person shaves before the party and the stubble floats in the shared sink while the other wants to wash their face again, etc.
Or in the morning, one brushes their teeth and the other wants to use the sink as well, which I don’t find ideal...
You have to put up with this kind of thing for the next 25? years, which might still be an acceptable compromise now. Usage habits can also change over such a long period.
But if joint use is ruled out, you can of course do that. Or if the space no longer allows it, then there is no other choice.
But a new bathroom is always exciting and fun, just like a new kitchen )
