BELFAST SINKS- Not Just For Washing Babies

The only thing my boyfriend said to me when I first showed him a Belfast sink in B&Q was "you could wash a baby in that"! And it got me thinking about just how brilliantly versatile they truly are. But whatever way you decide to show yours off, I just don't recommend you put your babies in it...


I love this Belfast sink from Stokesay Ware. It's presented a little differently here with bisible plumbing and period metal brackets, and a single brass tap! Cute in a utility room for the rustic look.

Or maybe you don't like the idea of (or are too clumsy around) ceramic, and feel more comfortable with a more standard stainless steel like this one from Irish superstore Taps 4 Less.

Whatever your taste, what I can't help but love about the Belfast sink is its' versatility! You can even try it in the bathroom if you fancy something different



But if your sticking to the kitchen there's still a whole load of stlye options to choose from, like a more sleek fitted look from Kitchen Index...



Or this more retro/ shabby chic option from Garrison Hullinger Interior Design

Note how the London Underground tiles and victorian brass mixer tap make this look

Whatever you do, make sure you don't take your Belfast sink too seriously as it's a feature people mostly choose purely for aesthetic value. 
Personally, I'm just looking for an excuse and a place to fit this seriously retro, almost clinical style Armitage Shanks from Washware Essentials

Just please not with those taps :(
