The bathroom is the most commonly overlooked area in the home when it comes to making fashionable changes. We all know that painting, adding accent decorations, and changing the various fixtures in the room will revamp its look. The one option that is overlooked and by the way probably the most stylish and noticeable is replacing your old boring sink with a vessel sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vessel sinks aren\u2019t right for every bathroom or every person\u2019s more traditional sense of style. When they do work, they can really make a splash and give a focal point to the bathroom.  If you\u2019re not sure exactly what a vessel sink is or how one would fit into your bathroom\u2019s decoration, read on. I will cover the basics of these sinks, how they differ from more traditional sinks, and how to tell if one is right for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ins and Outs of Vessel Sinks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The layout of the sinks in most bathrooms are pretty.\u00a0 You have a basin is inserted into a countertop (and in many cases is an actual part of the countertop material), giving you a recessed area to wash your hands and do everything else that you need a sink for. They\u2019re functional and more aesthetically pleasing than the metal sinks that are often seen in kitchens and utility areas. In other words the bathroom sink doesn\u2019t do much to stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vessel sinks serve all the same purposes as a traditional basin sink, however have much more stylish flair to them. Instead of being a recessed sink built into the countertop, vessel sinks are a standing vessel or sculpted bowl that typically sits on top of the counter or only partially recessed into it. This creates a unique look for the sink that calls to mind a sense of nostalgia for more Victorian-era hardware. The faucet typically stands separate from the vessel and is either mounted to the counter or to the wall, adding to the overall look and highlighting the difference between vessel sinks and traditional basins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vessel Sink Installation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to some other plumbing jobs, vessel sink installation can be a bit easier, however may also be easy to mess up if you aren\u2019t careful. Provided that you aren\u2019t installing a semi-recessed vessel sink, the main concerns for installing the sink are the installation of the faucet hardware and making sure that the drain hole in the countertop is the right size to line up with the vessel drain. Theoretically, one of these sinks can be installed by a single person who has a good idea of what they are doing.\u00a0 In my opinion it would be worth your while to have a licensed plumber, that has installed vessel sinks to install yours.

With that said, there are still a few things that need to be kept in mind during installation. The counter will need to be sufficiently large to accommodate the vessel and faucet, and made of a material that\u2019s sufficiently protected against water, as vessel sinks are more prone to splashing than more traditional sinks. You will also need enough vertical height to accommodate the sink; even a modest vessel sink can add 6 inches or more to the height of the sink area, so you\u2019ll need the necessary clearance for both that and the faucet hardware. Mounting and sealing the sink are also more important than with traditional sinks, as the last thing you want is for your vessel to leak around its drain and potentially weaken the countertop below it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you purchased a home with lower counter heights, this can be a great way to raise the sink to a more suitable height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Vessel Sinks Right for You?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vessel sinks can be very striking, giving a unique look to your bathroom that really catches the eye. They come in a range of different shapes and materials, letting you customize your sink to meet your personal design preferences. They also don\u2019t necessarily require as large of a counter or support structure as more traditional sinks, so they can work well in some smaller bathrooms provided they\u2019re properly mounted. Vertical space and splash considerations may create issues, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
