Would this sink work in an early 1950’s home?

Lucy

I know this style of sink wouldn’t be authentic to the time period, (it’s more 1920’s) however I’m wondering if this style would still feel “at home” in our early 1950’s bathroom? There are four people that would sharing this sink at a given time, so something this size would be appreciate. Our tile is a grey and maroon pinwheel design, with square grey and maroon tiled walls (Original to the house).



Thank you!

    It’s a faux nostalgia fad look that isn’t even suitable for a 20’s home. That’s not what bathrooms looked like, ever. Not only will it not look right in your house, it has questionable functionality and requires a large financial commitment for something so temporary in pop culture popularity.

    What would look great would be a great 50’s colored tile bathroom. It will always be appropriate to a home of that era.

      IMO no why not go with a trough sink and really 4 people will be using this at one time I don’t think so. I think a bit more modern works better in a 50’s house than that sink does.

      Sure, why not? I think that sink would be fun—especially if you painted the bottom!

      I think it depends on the overall feel of your house -- I have seen houses circa 1950s that are still reminiscent of the 30s and 40s, while others are very much MCM.

      I rarely say this, but if you like it, and it will be graceful in the bath (ie, won't seem very out of place or not congruent with the rest of the house) go for it. It looks like a practical sink - I wish I had an integrated backsplash like that!

      No, wrong period. Try some of the squarish styles instead.

      Duravit does a double washbasin in a number of styles. This one is modern while still having some curves. Duravit Durastyle washbasin with two sinks. It also comes with three holes per sink.

      The Happy D.2 Furniture Washbasin is a trough sink with curves. It does not seem to come with the option of two three-hole faucets, just the one-hole type.

      Here is the link to all of their sinks. They do have variants on the ones I posted - different sizes and number of faucets. One of their lines, the 1930, seems to me to go well in a 1950s bath, but does not come in a double sink.

      Thank you for everyones help. I wasn’t really committed to the idea, but it was nice to get others opinions; other than just bugging my husband while he was at work ...hehe


      What about a similar style in a laundry room add-on?

      This one I thought was cute:


      Or is it still too modern?

      thank you

      A cheap $300 enamel over pot metal sink that chips the first time a zipper touches it is not a wise investment. It will be rusty and nasty in no time.

      Because not every single house was 100percent up to the moment updated. I’m sure I’ve seen sinks like that from the 40s. Sinks like that are very practical. And homes are not museums.

      I think if you look up utility sinks you will find a ton of vintage options/examples.

      I know I have seen octagonal sinks like the 1930 Duravit line in 1940 and 1950 house pictures. They just would have been colored something other than white, I think. I am not so sure that designs changes as quickly for we working class folks as they do now. We are much more influenced by high-class design these days, too.

      I think it would make more sense to go with a cute, old-fashioned pedestal sink. If you're considering the trough style, you're already OK with no countertop space and a pedestal will have at least a little. It'll still give you a vintage look (and you could even look for a fun green or pink one!).

      I think the original sink the OP posted is cute, esp if they're going for more of an "older" 50s look, not Mid Mod. I could picture this with square wall tiles in a fun color. I like mixing eras. not everything has to be so matchy matchy.

      however, I feel like logistically, having no counter space would be way more difficult than a family fighting over sinks.

      also, a note on trough sinks: avoid ones with flat bottoms. My sister has one and it's always full of toothpaste and gross residue. you have to fill a pitcher and pour it around the whole perimeter to rinse everything down, something the rest of her family just can't be trained to do.
