Washbasins and sinks can come in all sorts of colors, sizes and finishes. In the old days, they used to be a standard ceramic bowl, round and typically white. Modern designers have thrown tradition out the window and created extraordinary bathroom and kitchen water systems that will leave your mouth gaping open. These smart and sometimes futuristic ideas are minimalist, ecologically friendly, and just fun to look at.
These unique washbasins are designed to look like organic forms: a drop of water and a calla lily.
Minimalism with a splash. This special design ensures that no overflowing water gathers.
This water stone faucet design mimics stacked pebbles, giving your bathroom a Zen feel.
This beautiful and intricate design is called Marrakesh, as an ode to its Moroccan inspiration.
This innovative kitchen sink integrates a chopping board into the basin, for seamless cooking prep.
This river-like design flows into the whole counter and is accentuated with embedded pieces of turquoise glass.
These modern bathrooms use taps with streams reminiscent of flowing rivers, to evoke a tranquil nature theme.
This modern design teaches you the value of conserving water (or else the fish has it).
These washbasins use wood for a more rustic looking design.
This modern design is all about continuous lines, connecting glass and ceramic, to create an all-in-one bathroom.
This curvaceous design is reminiscent of the oceans waves. The ocean-like shape also makes the water fall like a crashing wave.
This streamlined slide-like washbasin is a fun addition to any bathroom.
This low level sink has multiple uses: A sink for the shorter family members or a foot spa for the taller folk.
This concept might take some getting used to, but it's very smart: By linking the sink drainage to the toilet flush, both water and space can be conserved.
This futuristic design is still being developed: A basin where you can draw on the walls to give it instructions.
Another innovative and curvaceous design, integrating modernity with tradition.
Forget ceramics: Glass is an effective and stunning way to create a sensational look in your bathroom.
This dark themed bathroom integrates LED lights into the sinks for a nightclub-like feel.
