off set sink help
Hi all. I’m stumped at what to do with this space. The cabinets are in great shape and would rather not replace, but I’m open to change everything else.
Any suggestions on making this space look better? Thank you!

HELP!!! My sink is falling down off the granite
Comments (4)We had the same problem on Thanksgiving of all days. We got a scrap 2 X 4 and didn't use the sink. Turns out the granite guys left out part of the epoxy on several sinks in our house. They came out removed the sink then correctly glued the sink. When you find someone to repair it you may want to look into clips as well. I'm pretty sure there is an old thread on this subject as well....See MoreHELP!! Patina off copper sink!
Comments (41)I was beyond distraught when I walked into my bathroom to see that the cap of a bathroom cleaner had been left on the front edge of my copper sink. There was a bright, shiny, copper 1 1/2" circle on my beautiful sink I immediately jumped on the internet to find a solution (it was 2am). Thank goodness for the person who suggested using 1/4 cup of ammonia and one teaspoon of salt mixed together. I applied the mixture with a Q-tip just around the circle. I did this every few hours for 12 hours and you can hardly see the ring!! I'll continue to do it and then put a protected coating on it. Thanks to the person who suggested using home products I had in my house in the middle of the night!!!...See MoreEntry Lanterns...off-centered or centered w/ off-set front door?
Comments (7)I think that you should only consider sight lines. In your case everyone will be coming in the door and presumably looking dead ahead. you'll get the most bang (since I assume you'll have some fabulous fixture in your entry) if you centre the lights on the door. Also a centred light viewed through the transom windows above a front door is a great warm greeting from the street (if your door is surrounded by glass). I went through the build process recently myself (moved in two months ago) trust me, you can't over think this stuff. There are tiny details all over the place now that I wish I had given more consideration. They don't spoil the experience of my new house, it's not that bad, but they do draw my eye in over and over and over. One of those niggling issues is my dining room light fixture which is centred on the dimensions of the room per plan, but does not account for the fact that the dining room opens to both a hall and my foyer so visual appears much bigger....See Moreoff-set sink in island...would this bug you?
Comments (12)Will there only be 18" b/w the sink and the edge of the island? That seems pretty small...if it were me, I'd probably knock things off the island while working at the sink. Do you have sufficient room behind the sink as well for things placed there or, if you have seating, for those sitting there to not be splashed? Is there any way to gain an additional 6" for total island width? I know you didn't ask about workspace, but I think that's the more important consideration (at least it would be to me!) If you're only concerned about form (how it looks), then ask yourself...how do you feel about things that aren't symmetrical? E.g., if you see a window that's not centered on a wall or if you see cabinets that are different overall width on either side of say, a cooktop/range? If these things bother you, then I suspect a sink that's off center may also bother you. However, if they don't bother you (or you don't even notice them), then you'll probably be OK with an off-center sink....See More
PRO3 months agolast modified: 3 months agodepends what you want.
do you want two sinks?
the vanity is fine. you could modify the other side if you want another sink,
Otherwise just get a new countertop, diff sink, new lighting and some type of style/decor.
what do you like?what about that floor tile? is that staying?
you can do anything you want. if you see something w/a center sink, just copy it but keep your sink on the left.
I like something like this. tile that entire wall, new counterotp, and do two mirrors w/sconces, if you like.
or, do a mirror like this, the lighting, (ignore the right sink) and just have this design. put a tray on the right side w/toiletries, a tall vase
prob do a full mirror with light above. that's one option
do a full mirror like this, either sconces on either side, or a nice overhead light, wallmount faucet (yours would be off to the left) and a nice tray on the right side.
or, how about this design? on the other side you can do some shelves, or art,
maybe inset shelving?tile the full wall, single mirror, some sconces
maybe some tile on the wall behind, new countertop, wall mount faucet
or you could do something like this w/two mirrors. have the right side for make up or hair
you could do tile/wallpaper, but you'd have a full mirror, or an offset mirror
or, how about some kind of tower on the one end? I like this set up for you
