Anyone who has visited a home improvement store or home design show lately can tell you the hottest trend in bathroom design in the vessel sink vanity. Just as much a finely crafted sculpture as a working sink and vanity, these striking and unique pieces provide a beautiful focal point for any style bathroom. Vessel sink vanities are comprised of two main components, the vanity structure, and the vessel sink itself.
What Is A Vessel Sink?
Vessel sinks are an alternative to traditional bathroom sinks which were set into the counter top or vanity unit. Instead, a vessel sink is a bowl like structure that is raised up and set on top of the counter surface. The form of the bowl can be very deep or more shallow in form. From a distance, they appear to be a simple decorative piece placed for decorative purposes. Only on closer inspection does its true function as a sink become obvious. Other shapes can include flat square and rectangular designs containing channels set within the stone for the water to drain into. The most common materials for vessel sink construction are granite, marble, onyx, and travertine. These are all very heavy materials, ideal for this type of design, that are available in a wide array of solid colors as well as mixed color options.
What Are Vessel Sink Vanities?
Vessel sink vanities combine the newest design in sinks with a very elegant, podium-like, vanity structure. The vanities themselves are designed to be very sleek and streamlined in their construction and serve more as a presentation stand for the vessel sink. Unlike traditional vanity units, vessel sink vanities are sometimes designed more for form than function and may have less storage space than their classic counterparts. However, unlike a traditional vanity, vessel sink vanities can come in a wide variety of designs resembling Greek pillars, stylish tables, or even floating cabinets that don’t even touch the floor.
For anyone who believes a bathroom should be just as beautiful as it is functional, a vessel sink vanity may be the perfect centerpiece to give the bathroom the touch of elegance it needs.
