For me, integrated sinks are the best solution. I had countertop sinks about 20 years ago. Isn't something like that outdated?



There are versions with a large basin or with 2 separate basins.

The integrated ones are of course great to keep clean. We used washbasins. Simply because I am extremely into the look.

That was exactly the reason for the modernization.

In my opinion, it also looks better. ;)

But you also once wrote that you have it cleaned. :) We still do some cleaning ourselves. I found the dust, washing foam, and water spray accumulations between and around the basins super annoying. With regular beard care, foam also tends to drip past the basin on the left and right, plus the child, who tends to smear everything quite broadly, no, that was really nothing. The worst was the 10 cm strip between the wall and the basins. The child liked to throw their toothbrush in there and water and soap foam dripped from the wall-mounted fittings onto the marble slab. In our opinion, during the two weeks of vacation, we definitely wasted too much time cleaning the washbasin. A sink that you can’t wipe in one smooth motion is not for our style of household management.

We had the washbasin for 2 years in the first house and I agree with you, they are more demanding to maintain. We actually always had a small cloth and always wiped off splashes immediately, since the surface underneath was also solid wood. That is of course not the easiest life and requires a certain discipline, especially with kids. We also thought about it for a long time beforehand, but then, inspired by Marie Kondo, said: "it sparks joy" - things that bring me joy in everyday life, I gladly take care of. And so I decided for the new house that I would rather have my joy basin again, even if I have to keep it clean with more effort. =)

In the house as a whole, however, we tried to find a healthy mix of joy-bringing and low-maintenance materials. If I had made such decisions throughout the whole house, it would become too much effort for me in everyday life.

The integrated ones have the disadvantage that in this case you also have to take the base cabinet from the HA... And unfortunately, they are only available up to a maximum width of 140 cm - whether as one large single basin or two single ones.
