Would it be crazy to put a kitchen sink in a bathroom. Was thinking if I put the kitchen sink in the bathroom then it would make my plumbing much easier.

Not a crazy idea at all...I was going to do it myself but got a great deal on larger than normal bathroom sink....kitchen drain is normally 1 1/2" and a bathroom is 1 1/4 ...you can always coupling up or down as needed

Why not put in an extra deep kitchen sink so it can double as a laundry or soaking sink?

I am thinking a double sink that is deep. I will call it a farm type sink. Plenty of space to store dirty dishes and soak. Figure I would use less water soaking then letting water run. Thanks for advice! Being not the best plumber and being off grid without friends handy want to make it as easy as possible. Just not sure how sanitary dishes in bathroom is?

The Japanese would be horrified if you had anything at all related to food in the bathroom. But, that's them. Could be an eventual sanitation risk. The dishes are drying to the side, someone uses the toilet then washes their hands, splashes dirty water on the dishes, the dishes get used for dinner, someone gets sick. I wouldn't do it.

I tried a kitchen sink in my 6x8 bathroom. Took up too much space, looked out of place too. So I put it on the other side of the wall, outside.

I put a utility sink in my bathroom to save space. There is not area in there for dishes to dry, so was them, dry them then put them away. Sanitation risk eliminated and space saved. Or just use paper and plastic then dispose of them.

Huh, actually that is not a bad idea at all... Moreover, I'm thinking of buying some kind of baker rack to put it in my bathroom so it would save space in there!

We have no 'kitchen sink'.
We have two rectangular plastic wash basins to set side by side on the countertop, one with hot/soapy the other hot/clear rinse. Wash, dip to rinse and set into the drying rack sitting in another basin just behind.
Toss the dirty soapy, save the rinse for a reheat and soap next time around. Let dishes dry, put away, nest the basins and put under the counter, done.

I used my 13.5" deep utility sink for 9 years while my kitchen was torn apart in what is in the running for the longest reno ever. Wherever you put your sink do yourself, or the one who will mainly do the dishes, a favor and check what the best height and depth of a sink would factoring for ergonomics. With my counter set at the standard 36" height, my palms are able to be held at a 45 degree angle (to center of the sink) and I'm still about 6.5" from the bottom of my new sink (9" deep plus counter thickness), I'm on the short end at 5' 4". My new sink is far better than the 13" deep tub, but I do still get strain if I'm doing a lot by hand. I really should have gone for a shallower basin, but mainly what I do by hand are larger pots and pans since I have a dishwasher again.
