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!

Those things can be quite stylish (also with two taps, for example). Two taps really make sense only for a two-user width. Basically, it can also be done above a single-compartment basin. However, a single basin compartment means the water is shared. So if one user closes the drain and causes the water to back up (as wet-shaving basin users often do), it affects both users. Hence my opinion that this is more of a novelty item or design flaw.

Then you obviously haven’t been to a sanitaryware store or the bathroom section of an average furniture store in a few years. Let’s just say: I always look for the things I need. Whether the market offers products for people with different preferences doesn’t concern me. And I deliberately avoid typical furniture stores.
