Sharing a collection of tiny bathroom sinks and vanities that work well when space is tight!
When we were building our pool house, I shared a collection of small bathroom vanities, with widths only ranging from 24-30″. As we’ve worked on our new build, we’ve had to search for an even smaller option to accommodate our powder bath. Today I’m sharing tiny bathroom sinks and vanities that are not only narrow, but also not deep since we have a very limited space to work with!

The Powder Bath Dilemma in Our New Build
Originally when we started building our new house, I was under the impression there would be a pedestal sink in our powder bathroom. Not ideal for storage, but from a style perspective, it was something I could work with. It’s one of the things you expect when you’re essentially building a spec home, versus a true custom home.
The powder bathroom is a tiny space carved out underneath the stairs, and as we’ve seen a similar home progress, it’s even smaller than we realized. So much so, the builder has now decided all that fits is a wall-mounted sink. The bathroom below is still in the construction phase obviously, but I knew that sink wasn’t going to work for us. After multiple conversations with them, they agreed the exposed PVC pipe isn’t ideal and they’d switched to one that matched the faucet. I still wasn’t convinced I’d love that option for us.
If nothing else, I’d at least love a little storage space for extra toilet paper, etc. So, I measured the sink that was in this other house, and it came in at 23.25″ wide, but only 13.5″ deep. Super shallow. But I was still determined to find an alternative that would work. Worst case scenario, I could always find a way to add a skirt to the sink.
I talked to the builders again, and they said if I found something the same measurement (or smaller), I could buy it, have it shipped here, and then they’d install it once they were ready for it. The biggest challenge was finding something that shallow (if it’s any deeper, the door won’t open properly). But I know others may have struggles finding sinks or vanities that aren’t quite as wide. So, today I thought I’d share stylish tiny bathroom sinks and vanities that work well for a variety of styles and budgets!
Tiny Bathroom Sinks & Vanities
In this powder bathroom, I envision a fun wallpaper covering the walls and the sloped ceiling (it’s hard to see in the photo above but the ceiling slopes with the stairs above it). So, while the vanity or sink certainly doesn’t have to be the star (and hopefully I can distract people with a pretty print on the walls), I still want it to be chic!
A few sinks and vanities I found that are worth noting:
- If storage weren’t a concern, I would absolutely go with something like this darling wall-mounted sink in turquoise!
- This vanity was the first one I found that fit the parameters we were looking for and gave me hope! It still might be a contender, but we don’t actually need a faucet to be included so many look for another option. I also don’t love that the door swings the opposite way of what we’d need.
- Since we’ll have white oak floors, I think something like this navy blue vanity could be fun (if I can convince the builders it would fit).
- If you’re really tight on space, something like this side-oriented sink may be your best bet!
Following are even more tiny bathroom sinks and vanities if you also are working with a bathroom that is short on space! Tap any of the images below to be taken directly to the small sink or vanity shown.
Since most of the ones at the 13″-ish depth are much less wide that we can accommodate, I may go re-measure this weekend to see if a 15″ depth would work if we gain some inches on the width. Stay tuned!
Do you know of any other great tiny bathroom sink or vanity options? I would love to hear!

try Ikea they have small vanity sinks
I have confidence in you! You’ll find the perfect one! Also I agree you can make that little room come alive with some cool wall paper.
I like your idea of wallpaper with matching fabric sink skirt. Keep the builder sink and add a medicine cabinet with room to store toilet paper and guest supplies. Rendering with artistic liberties taken to give you an example. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/352547477095678734/
Could you possibly add a cabinet or shelves over the toilet? Just my opinion, but I don’t think powder rooms require storage for much other than TP.
Sarah, you are so good at finding inspiration!
I will be updating our hall bath this year. My struggle finding inspiration is real! The house was built in 1985 and I want to do an elavated “80’s look. 5 x5 tile in the shower with wide grout, solid surface counter but for flooring I am stumped! 12×24 is contemporary and small tiles feel to “now.”
If you see anything, or can post inspiration for regular size hall baths, please do!!
I think the tiny sink you referred to as the darling wall mount is the winner from a style perspective. It is adorable and would add so much personality. I also have a tiny 3’x4′ powder bath and settled on a pedestal but I spent a lot of time searching for one that was small but had enough surface to hold a soap dispenser so that also may be a concern. And I do miss the storage for a few towels but I layer a printed towel over a solid towel on my wall towel ring and find it is sufficient. I use the PB toilet paper basket to dispense and hold paper and it works quite nicely to hold backup paper. A small cabinet or some styled wood shelves above the toilet could serve storage needs as well but know from my own small space that breathing room is critical. I found foot space to maneuver is also important so a full length cabinet would concern me, it looks tight. I also think the builder suggested sink would look higher end with the addition of a horizontal wood skirt or cabinet mounted underneath. It would disguise plumbing and could be made with a door to hold a few goodies. Happy hunting.
