Normally, when you think of a master bath, you think of a dual sink bathroom. One thing to consider is if it would be beneficial to having only one sink in the master bath. Some of this will come down to who uses the bathroom at what time. If there are two people using the bathroom, are they both in there at the same time? If the bathroom is only used by one, then are two sinks necessary? Here are some benefits to having a single sink master bath.
Counter Space
Having only one sink in the master bath means that there will be more counter space. This extra space can be used for storage, décor items, or whatever you wish. The regularly used items that normally needed to be put in storage can now sit on the counter and be easier to reach. Also, you can add more shelving underneath or add shelving on the wall above.
Privacy
Having only one sink in the master bath can promote privacy in the bathroom. Additionally, if there is more than one bathroom in the house, and both need the bathroom at the same time, then the other person could just use the other bathroom. The biggest idea here is whether both people are in the bathroom at the same time more often than not. This can be the deciding factor for how many sinks you need in the master bath.
Bathroom Feature
If you only have one sink and have the opportunity to make the counter area smaller, you could consider adding something else to your bathroom. You might have room to add a walk-in shower, a spa tub, or have the ability to add more storage to your area. It depends on how much space is made available by having only one sink. With only one sink, you will have less plumbing to be concerned with as well. This allows for more room from floor to ceiling.
In the end, a full review of your bathroom habits will allow you to design the bathroom of your dreams. After reviewing how your daily routine runs, from morning to night and how it changes on the weekends, you can decide if having a single sink is the best for you. Additionally, how many people are in the bathroom, and how often there is more than one person in the bathroom in a given week, will help you decide as well.
