I love a good design challenge & you CAN make this sink work for you! I don't know what your design aesthetic is, but I see this working in a contemporary or transitional style bathroom. For the sink, choose an under-mounted model & place it beneath a 1-1/4" thick, solid surface countertop made of engineered quartz such as Silestone or Zodiaq. Mount your faucet to the wall & you've made a design statement! Cabinets doors can be slab for contemporary, shaker for transitional. Just be sure that your vanity is deep enough to accommodate this sink. You can always order a kitchen sink base & modify it for the bathroom. Standard rule of thumb: - kitchen cabinets are typically 24" deep & 36" high - bathroom cabinets are 21" deep & 34" high Good luck! ~LMM

thanks legendary flame - im going to show my husband the two options this friday :)

I think it depends on the type of marble you are using. If you are using a real marble (not a granite or reconstituted stone) I would be very worried about chipping and staining with an undermount sink. Real marble is quite a porous, soft stone, and I would never use it in a heavy duty area such as a benchtop around a sink. This is why the fake marbles are so popular as these engineered stones are more suited to heavy-duty kitchen service than the real marble. When looking at undermount sinks be aware that they are more expensive to install as the inside edge of the stone cutout needs to be hand polished. Lots of these undermount sinks also build up a dark line of mouldy slime between the junction of the top of the sink and the underside of the slab. However they do look great when they are new!

Black sinks make a great statement in a kitchen with white features, so your real estate agent has given you good advice there! Do you have any pictures to determine weather a black sink will be too dark for your kitchen? We have a line of black granite kitchen sinks that our customers love and you'll find the granite material a great selling point as these sinks are durable as well as attractive! They're also very affordable and can be installed top mount or undermount so perhaps your budget will allow it to be installed undermount with one of our sinks! https://fontaineind.com.au/kitchen/sinks/ontario We hope you find what you need, good luck!
