How to stop sims from using the bathroom counters, or any other room counters to cook, when there are plenty of empty ones in the kitchen?
Sometimes they prefer to go up two flights of stairs to the furthest room in the house, even though they could finish making that salad right there. It's annoying. Any solutions that don't involve getting rid of furniture?

You could place decorations on the counters.
Sims have an odd desire to use the more expensive "better quality" counters when cooking. Try using cheap counters in your bathroom and having the more expensive better quality counters in your kitchen. Also, use clutter objects on counter you do not want to be used for cooking.

Sometimes, the issue is that when you have multiple Sims, there has been a previous queued action where the action from another Sim was given by you or the computer (depending if you have free will on or not), before the Sim was given the order to wash the dish in the kitchen sink. If there was only one Sim, well... I cannot say exactly why. It's just like that.
Just as with the counter, Sims gravitate to use the more expensive and better sink too. That is most likely the issue if just playing a single sim.
