What to do with hideous, dated sink?

I'm redocorating a small WC but am at a loss of what to do with this monstrosity of a sink. Replacing isn't really an option as we're renting. Any tips on hiding the exposed pipework / making it a little more presentable on the cheap?

Comments (26)The thing we probably like most about this house is the feeling of space. People may feel that the halls and landing are wasted space but it gives an openness which we'd lose if we tried to shoe horn in more rooms. There's also the issue of creating a middle room in the downstairs hall which is already a dark place, due in part to low ceiling, dark parquet flooring and dark stained woodwork - wood will be lightened. Already on with that arduous task. I think the builders got it right and what we've got is a great space that flows, just needing a tweak to bring it inline with the way we live today....See MoreSink & Tap Colour Concern
Comments (16)Burgess Kitchens you just made me laugh! :-) I'm definitely a black black girl normally but in this case i'm leaning towards the tin man look (brushed steel tap and satin finish sink), not generally a good fashion look but hopefully the kitchen can pull it off!! I know both will look good but as Colourhappy and Forzaitalia mention I think the brushed steel option will be timeless. I genuinely can't believe how many things i have had to consider when choosing this kitchen, its mind blowing but thanks everyone for your input!...See MoreWhat to do with the kitchen on a budget!!
Comments (17)Interesting to hear reactions on this as I’m pondering what to do with our own kitchen. We have very similar old fashioned cathedral cabinets which previous owners put in many years ago however it’s all in sound condition although very dated. Have lived with it for a few years tho now so time for a refresh. As we don’t plan on full new kitchen for a few more years yet I might paint everything (except the floor;)). Just be warned that painting any type of cabinetry is a real faff and time consuming. All in all I agree with other comments that a cheap vinyl flooring and a quick lick of wall paint will instantly give your kitchen a lift, but I’d live with the cabinets for while before deciding what to do with them. Let us know how you get on. X...See MoreWhat do you think of this?
Comments (25)Dear Devon kitchen co - you seem unsure yourselves of the design... My first thoughts are with the layout, the position of tall and upper units; it looks like you would walk into the room and feel that these are on top of you, especially the wall unit next to the chimney breast and then the tall units straight ahead of you; the balance just feels wrong. I would always try to place tall units in a way that makes them recede. Open shelving and glass cabinets always help. Difficult when you are working with a smaller space and the brief is demanding, you are also working with two corner solutions and had to create a U shaped kitchen to get everything in. If those tall units opposite the entrance are fridge and freezer, I would play with placing them down the far end of the kitchen and fill that in completely either side with other storage units maybe down onto the worktop, so that they create a wall of units, this would mean you would have a galley either side for surfaces, sink and hob etc,alternatively I would debate the use of under-counter appliances, fridge drawers maybe. Again difficult if your client needs greater capacity and has no-where else for secondary appliances such as a utility room. Very difficult to comment really unless you are in front of the plan and know the client brief. Hope it goes well - Laurane...See MoreWinn Family
