Gorgeous laundry rooms with sinks prove that you don’t have to compromise on aesthetics for practicality. In fact, the addition of a utility sink or a full built-in complete with a countertop, sink, and base cabinetry can actually elevate the look of the laundry room area.
There are many different ways that you can integrate a sink in the laundry room depending on how big your space is. Compact spaces usually end up choosing wall-mounted sinks or narrow freestanding sinks with a small storage space underneath. Larger spaces, on the other hand, can accommodate an entire counter cabinet system.
When it comes to the look of the sink, you can also take your pick from a variety of options. Deep tub and farmhouse sinks look great in traditional and transitional-style spaces while vintage utility sinks and black-bottomed ones are usually used to give the room an industrial appeal.
Knowing where to locate the sink in your laundry room is also an important consideration. Positioning them in front of a window assures you that you will have natural light streaming in during the daytime. Meanwhile, installing them against the wall will provide you with substantial space for overhead cabinets, shelves, or wall décor.
Here are 31 examples of laundry rooms with sinks if you’re looking to add one in your space.
