1. Quantity of sinks
If there is a 'morning rush hour' in your home, consider getting 2 or more sinks in the bathroom, so multiple people can use them at a time.
2. Walls type and style
First the structure of your bathroom walls. Then decide which sink or countertop you want, and see if this type comes in the shape, size, form, and material that you have in mind. Consider which type you are taking out, which type you are putting in, how the pipes run, how the set-up sits in relation to the room, etc.
3. Size of your bathroom

Finally, it's important to consider the theme and design of the bathroom. Choose an option that blends in with the room's aesthetics or alternatively opt for centerpieces which are designed to stand out from the rest of the room.
