Laundry rooms are considered more of a practical space, but they’re significant areas to get creative with design. Of course, since it’s used for chores, most aspects need to be helpful. So, it comes down to choosing the right accessories.

An excellent place to start is with the hardware and appliances. Under that umbrella comes the sink. Used to rinse rags and wash your hands, this often overlooked design opportunity has plenty of options for you to choose from–from classic farmhouse sinks to sleek integrated stone sinks and more. Not sure where to start? Check out these 13 laundry room sink ideas for inspiration.

Go Gold

An apron-style sink gets a fresh, moody treatment in this laundry room by Becca Interiors. A brassy gold faucet adds some shine and contrasts against the dark hues of green and black, while the basin is set in deep charcoal to complement. Note that it matches the black counters alongside.

Try a Pull-Down Faucet

A pull-down faucet is always handy in the laundry room to easily maneuver and remove any residue in the sink. This one by Tusk Home is set in silver to match the grey and white palette of the room. An under-mount basin keeps things clean and seamless, as you can easily wipe any mess directly into the sink.

Opt for Farmhouse Style

Farmhouse-style sinks always make a space look chic. Here, Milagro Collective opted for one in a clean white to juxtapose against the sage green cabinets. It creates an elevated and elegant feel alongside marble counters and backsplash. A brass bridge faucet matches the rest of the hardware on the drawers for a cohesive look.

Get Industrial

This sink features another mounted bridge kitchen faucet to keep with the industrial theme in this laundry room by Blackband Design. Set in silver with an under-mount basin, it allows for clean lines with a slight edge from the faucet’s sculptural silhouette. The chrome finish adds shine, matching the washing machine accents and cabinet hardware for a ubiquitous feel.

Keep It Classic

A classic farmhouse-style sink with a U-shaped pull-down faucet can work with any aesthetic–especially when set in white. This laundry room by Marea Clark Interiors proves that point, as the sink is paired with pretty pink cabinets, warm-toned tiled floors, and a statement pendant. With all that glamor, a simple sink like this is perfect for an elegant look without stealing the spotlight.

Mount the Faucet

You can always go for a wall-mounted faucet for a more sleek and modern look. This laundry room by NFG Designs features a chrome finish with a bridged dual handle. The knobs are coated in white to match the cabinets and cream backsplash. One advantage of this faucet style is that it allows for more space on the countertop to keep things like sponges, rags, and soap within reach.

Have Creative Knobs

This space by Six Walls Interior Design showcases another dual-handle wall-mounted faucet with a farmhouse-style basin. It’s set in a brassy finish to play up the warmth of the woods in the space and match the cabinets’ hardware. The knobs are placed in a cross-style with shiny white centers for a fun touch.

Make It Sleek

Craving a more straightforward look? A single-handle sleek faucet like in this laundry room by Cedar and Suede keeps things understated so the stained-glass windows behind can shine. An under-mount basin amplifies the minimalistic feel, keeping things clean and streamlined.

Experiment With Faucet Shapes

Rather than the typical U-shaped faucet, Kinsman Kitchens opted for a more geometric, rectangular tap to balance out the softer touches in this space. It has a single handle set at the center to keep things consolidated. Set in a nickel finish, the sink adds warmth and makes a statement in this otherwise pared-back laundry room.

Save Space

With another single-handle faucet, this sink minimizes cluttered counters with a handle that moves up and down rather than side to side. A long spout keeps things modern, with a silver finish matching the machine decals and grey baskets. An oversized under-mount basin allows plenty of space to hand-wash clothes, rinse items, and more.

Play With Color

Not keen on a metallic finish? You can always go to the dark side with a matte black faucet. A slim profile adds a contemporary touch to this laundry room, complementing its monochrome palette. The inky hue is also helpful to prevent stains and splatters from showing up.

Switch It Up

While laundry rooms typically lean toward drop-in styles, you can create more of a statement with a vessel sink. This sink style resembles a deep bowl mounted on a counter. In this space, one sits adjacent to the washing machines in a unique laundry-slash-powder room for a sophisticated and elegant look.

Get a Drainboard

Drainboard sinks are handy as they combine a small basin on one side with a counter-level drainboard on the other. The drainboard helps trap water and drain it back, making drying items quick and easy. A glossy white one is paired with an anchor-shaped faucet for an elegant farmhouse look.
