The great variety of bathtubs and sinks available today are more than just functional components of the household bathroom. Instead, they are statement pieces that provide homeowners with the opportunity to express their style and tastes in bold, eye-catching ways. Choosing the perfect bathtub or sink is an important part of transforming even the most practical areas of your house into a space you can be proud of. Before you rush to pick out your new bathroom fixtures, take note of these can't miss shopping tips:

• When selecting a bathtub or sink, make sure each reflect the overall tone and style that resonates throughout your home. For example, if you are a minimalist or prefer contemporary decor, try selecting bright ones with clean lines and brightly polished accents. On the other hand, if you prefer for your bathroom to be a relaxing retreat, custom sinks and bathtubs with whirlpool bathtubs and spacious showers may be the way to go.

• Make sure the sink or bathtub you choose fits the design and structure of your bathroom. For example, pedestal sinks may be a good choice for a half bathroom, but is not functional for a master bathroom or other full bathroom that calls for a full vanity. Similarly, if choose a separate bathtub and sink, be sure your bathroom has the space to accommodate both.

• If you have a custom vanity countertop that you want to draw attention, make sure the sink you choose compliments, rather than detracts from it. In this case, you could choose an under-mounted sink that allows the beauty of your vanity to draw the eye's attention. On the other hand, if you have a basic counter top and want to make a statement with your sink, pick a countertop sink that is boldly raised a few inches above the vanity.

• Do not sacrifice functionality for esthetics, or vice versa. Although your bathroom should be efficient and practical for your every day needs, it should also be pleasing to the eye. Often, pre-manufactured sinks, bathtubs and other bathroom fixtures provide only functionality and fail to deliver esthetically pleasing components. Custom sinks and bathtubs, on the other hand, deliver both style and practicality when they are designed and constructed by a professional.

Ultimately, the bathtubs and sinks in your home are a reflection of your own personal style and should be carefully selected. Take the time to draw inspiration from other bathrooms that you like. Make a list of the details that are important to you, and be diligent about getting what you want.
