We've received a lot of feedback about moving our bathroom sink outside the toilet area. Our friends and families commented on how the water splashing makes the bedroom feel less private with a wet area nearby, and how exposed it feels when one of us is still sleeping. We ran an IG poll and a clear majority of 40% responded that sinks should be in the bathroom. We wholeheartedly agree, but unfortunately, we were working with a terribly small toilet. If our sink had remained in the bathroom, we might even graze our legs on the toilet bowl as we used the sink. We saw this as a blessing in disguise because we found some unexpected advantages amidst the initial drawbacks. Here are our 4 reasons why you should consider bringing your sink out of the bathroom (if you have a small bathroom): (1) It's giving ✨staycation✨ Every time we enter our bedroom, it feels like we're in a hotel with an open-concept bathroom. Having a brick wall dividing the washbasin and the sleeping area demarcates each space nicely. 
(2) We now have a vanity area 💄 We initially didn't want a vanity area because of the small space we were working with but bringing out the sink gave us a reason to have one! With our skincare, makeup, and hairdryer right beside the sink, getting ready for the day or night is a breeze. (3) We don't need a His and Hers to prep together 👩❤️👨 While one of us is doing our business or showering, the other can prepare for the day at this area. We've found this to be a huge time-saver. 
(4) We have a new area to decorate! 🖼️ We were most excited about our light situation. We love pendant lights but can't find enough spaces in our house to hang them up. Having created this nook gave us a reason to hang this beautiful light from Kave Home.
