All of the sinks in my house have this too

Mildly interesting... Mine too...

That is old plumbing. It's how things used to be, when you were expected to fill the basin to wash, rather than use the water straight from the taps.

Single basin taps are not that rare.

So does my bathroom. Didn’t realize that was at all interesting, even if only mildly.

Lots of that clown plumbing in the UK.

Who knew that this was so common in other parts of the world? I certainly didn’t.

This is quite common

yeeees they are common in the uk but for must people in developed countries they seem weird

My house is 9 years old and all the bathroom sinks are still like this

OP has no idea how old this made me feel.

Um...Quite common in the U.S.

Very common here is aus

Yes.

Bathrooms in my house are recently updated, most have dual faucets. (USA) edit to add- called wideset vs centerset which are cheaper.

Lmao

Separate hot and cold in a house in the US? I'm surprised. I haven't seen that in a house newer than about 50 years old. My grandmother's house had these types of faucets, but it's almost 100 years old.

And in the UK as well

Born and raised in the US. Lived in/visited multiple states. Apartments, condos, hotels, homes. All had dual faucets in the bathroom.

Does it get below freezing at those places? I have lived in very nice and very poor places in the south, but I have never seen dual faucets anywhere except for a maintenance closet with a sink or something like that. Definitely not in anything residential though. Makes me wonder if it has to do with pipes freezing or something.

Nope. They are on display in Lowes and Home Depot. I think it is a personal preference. It may be based on builders and them buying things in lots. Their designers may make the decision to buy one over the other.
