With corner showers taking a growing emphasis in center spotlight in bathroom design over the years, unique and innovative fixtures are becoming more and more abundant. Vessel sinks have been all the rage for some time now, presenting the modern artistic edge that many consumers are seeking. In an attempt to turn a rather common and essential room into more of a visually appealing area, the push continues to move towards modern design and cutting edge technology. Not all consumers, however, are looking towards the future. Corner sinks, long relied upon for their space saving capabilities and simple design, are making somewhat of a comeback. Instead of taking on a modern twist, however, they are catering to consumers who are seeking a more nostalgic feel. Corner pedestal sinks, to be more precise, are quickly becoming the main centerpiece in vintage inspired bathrooms everywhere.
What Are Corner Sinks?
Corner sinks became popular due to their ability to be tucked neatly away in the bathroom. Their corner placement not only increased the efficiency of the floor space in the bathroom, it also allowed bathroom to be created in even smaller spaces than before. Corner sinks became popular in guest bathrooms, in particular. Sometimes called half bathrooms or powder rooms, these guest bathrooms were designed to offer the basic toilet and sink fixtures in a bathroom while eliminating the bath and shower capabilities. This was ideal for use by visitors who didn’t need to necessarily see the sometimes non aesthetically pleasing appearance of a bathtub. Half bathrooms were also popular in multi-story rooms as a first floor bathroom that didn’t need the bath option present.
Why Are Corner Pedestal Sinks Popular?
While a large percentage of the retail market is currently being driven by fixtures with a very modern feel to them, the vintage inspired consumer is still rather plentiful. One of the easiest ways to give a bathroom that vintage appearance is with the installation of a corner pedestal sink. Since storage space in the bathroom has only been vital in more recent times, sinks were historically designed to function simply as sinks, not as vanities as is common in today’s time. While vanity sinks are convenient is extra space is needed for storage, the pedestal sink offers a more visually appealing design in exchange for the elimination of storage space. The tapered base of a pedestal sink can also create the further illusion of a larger bathroom area since the base of the sink does not have the blockiness that a vanity style presents.
