If you are updating your bathroom and the sink is included in your list then check out the following out of this world designs:
Aquarium sinks are novelty sinks that seem to be from the Animal Planet show “Tanked.” This outrageous sink is simply a rectangular sink made of fiber glass. Live fish, as well as corals, plants, and other water creatures, swim about as you wash your hands in the basin. There are actually different versions of the aquarium sink such as a toilet tank aquarium, an aquarium tub, and an aquarium shower stall.
Weird sinks have attracted men in China. Will you dare wash your hands in a sink with a butt? This outrageous sink is found in a public restroom and the sink looks like a regular oval basin except there is a lower half of a woman in front of the sink with the protruding behind!

A bathroom sink that looks like a flowing waterfall is a huge hit in homeowners that would like to have a modern yet whimsical bathroom décor. This is a sink could be made of hard plastic or glazed ceramic that looks like a small slide.

Sinks made of natural items are a very popular. It could be made of a large slab of natural stone, protected hardwood, glass and even cement.
