Bamboo Bathroom Sinks

Bamboo bathroom sinks are a great way to bring an oriental theme into a bathroom. These vanities, in which a porcelain sink may be set, are usually made of other woods. Bamboo is added for accents along the bottoms and middles of the doors.

Vanities in bamboo for bathroom sinks can help set a peaceful tone in your bathroom. Whether you choose light or dark wood, the lines of the bamboo are often associated with images gently bending in a soft breeze. These sinks are excellent in spas.

Eco-friendly

Bamboo bathroom sinks are gaining in popularity, partly because bamboo is an eco-friendly wood source. Unlike other trees that take years to mature, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. During the spring shooting season, its growth has actually been measured at nearly four feet in one 24-hour period. Bamboo is a reed, not a tree. When people buy bamboo bathroom sink vanities, they do not have to think about destroying a forest.

Bamboo Bathroom Sink Styles

You have choices of various styles when looking for bamboo bathroom sink vanities.

1. You might choose an entire, floor-to-ceiling bathroom sink unit in classic, blonde Asian bamboo finish. Plumbing runs through the unit’s bottom, while the top houses a mirror flanked with shallow cabinets. The bathroom sink itself is an oval glass bowl that sits on top of the bamboo vanity. It drains through a wooden chest that “floats” above the floor. Bamboo bathroom sinks like these are manufactured by Porcher.

2. If you prefer dark wood, the bathroom sink for you might be a floor-set, solid mahogany wood vanity with dark finish and dark bamboo accents. The sink, in a color of your choice, is set down into the vanity, with doors beneath it. Kohler makes these.

3. For an even simpler style in bamboo bathroom sinks, you can buy free-standing, light-colored vanities. These hand-crafted bamboo vanities sit on legs, 6″ or more above the floor. With glass doors set in light bamboo, these bathroom sinks give an open, light feeling to a bathroom. We were unable to find the manufacturer, but your home improvement store will have catalogs.

Faucets

Bamboo bathroom sink faucets will carry your theme further. These clever faucets look like upright sections of bamboo intersected by second, angled sections through which water flows into the sink or tub. On some, the top of the bamboo is removed at the end of the faucet, allowing water to bubble out as it does in oriental bamboo fountains. Bamboo faucets for sink, tub, and shower are available in burnished nickel or bamboo wood color.

Fixtures

Other fixtures that harmonize with bamboo bathroom sinks include toilet tissue holders, toilet tank handles, towel racks, and shelves. All of these are available in hues of silver, gold, copper, and dark bamboo.
