If you’re tired of formal bathrooms or those that are so modern and hotel looking that you forget you are at home and can relax, then maybe you want to give your bathroom a more rustic feel. After all, rustic doesn’t have to be unrefined, it’s simply comfortable, homey, and more relaxing than say contemporary styles. One of the first steps to getting a more rustic bath will be to install copper bathroom sinks. Copper is naturally warm in color, and it’s finishes and patinas are so versatile, it really fits very well in almost any decor, especially rustic.
It doesn’t matter where you live, a relaxed interior can be created in a downtown high-rise, a countryside cabin, or somewhere in the middle. By adding any variety of copper bathroom sinks to your bath, you’ll begin to create the look you’re going for. These styles include:

Hammered copper sinks with their beautiful texture and flexibility of designs look good as round bowls and flat bottom styles, square sinks with double walls, trendy vessel sinks, even small farmhouse sinks that would really stand out in a bath as they’re unexpected away from the kitchen. Like the rustic homes and cabins of years past, hammered copper sinks resemble the washbasins our grandparents probably used.

Smooth and shiny finish copper bathroom sinks include the same shapes and sizes as above, but provide a whole different feel than hammered finishes. Shiny copper is striking and unmistakable; and copper that’s been plated with polished nickel creates yet another entirely different look that’s still rustic depending on the shape and finish you choose.

If you have a specific image or pattern you’d like on your sink, there are skilled manufacturers that will make a custom copper bathroom sink for you. They’re not plentiful, but with an online search you’ll find contacts and examples of their work.

Custom sinks are available in the same basic designs, but you can add personality based on your own interest. Do you fish? Consider adding trout swimming around the walls of your sink. Are you a prized gardener? Add a pattern of your prize-winning fruits and vegetables to reflect your interests as you wash away the garden dirt from your hands each day. From simple patterns to intricate details, custom sinks let you get a look nobody else will have.

Let’s face it, there’s nothing rustic about stainless steel or porcelain; copper is lasting, looks better with age, and is still a surprising material to see in today’s homes. So, consider copper bathroom sinks to give your home a rustic and unique feel.
