Unusual washbasins

Washbasin bowl … What items should be in the general associative row? It is obvious that everyone who is at least in some way connected with water.

For example, a bowl-shaped washbasin on the table. Against the background of ordinary shells, it looks original.

Although this is just a return to the “roots” – after all, the basin for washing had the same shape and was also placed on the table.

There are positive decisions. For example, such a “leaky” shell will simply make someone smile, while someone will find a resemblance to a slice of “radamer” or Swiss Emmental cheese.

And where without the “blot”. She is liked not only by children, but also by adults. In its “flat” form, it is often used as a sticker on the fender of a car and on the wall of a child’s room. And in this case, the blot already has a volumetric relief.

An unusual shape can be “inspired” not only by space, but also by paleontology. This sink is very similar to the imprint of a giant snail shell. Even the term “sink” in the subject…

The sink bowl in the shape of a funnel with a drop at the end looks original and very elegant. But this depends on how you look at it – the upper part may remind someone of a martini glass..

Inhabitants of houses in the coastal area, in the vicinity of a pine forest or in an area with sandy soil will surely enjoy the “cascade” of two bowls. The traditional top is used as a washstand, and the bottom is for the feet. No need to shower after every walk to wash off the sand from your feet.

And in this case, the washbasin does not have a traditional bowl at all. It is designed in the form of a winding gutter through which waste water flows into the shower drain.

Baths

The most unusual bathtub that can be found on the Internet was invented by two Americans. It is not known whether they are familiar with the Russian fairy tale about Emelya and the pike, but to some extent they are imitators – Emelya went to the stove, and they were in the bath. Although there are differences – not magic power is used for movement, but an old open Cadillac, which has a fiberglass bowl instead of a cabin. And to drive such a car-bathroom, I had to bring the gas and brake pedals to the “torpedo” panel.

A bathroom in a bathroom or even in a bedroom does not surprise anyone. Another thing is the jacuzzi in the living room. Well, why not put next to the sofa such a “rest corner” for three?

Another original format – a bath for a young woman in the “image” of high-heeled shoes.

This association is especially relevant if aromatic substances are added to the water – the same smells as drinks from flower or fruit tea mixtures.
