Vessel Sinks

If you haven't heard of them by now then you are missing out on the latest bathroom rage. Yes they are both functional and beautiful at the same time. The item that we are speaking of is the vessel sink. 

Vessel sinks are actually part throwback and part modern. They remind many people of the old wash basins that were used in bathrooms for centuries prior to the wide spread use of modern plumbing. These old sinks would hold water that would be used to wash hands in and even wash other body parts such as faces. Nowadays however, the vessel sink combines both the charm of these old time wash basins but also a modern touch as well. These sinks can be made of glass, they can be made of stone, copper, and many other materials. They can even be custom built in unique shapes sizes and colors. The possibilities are literally limitless.

These sinks usually come with a special vessel sink faucet. These special faucets can either be connected to the wall or to the countertop itself. The thing that makes them distinctive is the fact that they are not connected in any way to the sink itself. Unlike traditional sink faucet combinations the vessel faucet is designed to complement the sink but be its own piece of independent artwork at the same time. These sinks are really gorgeous and if you can afford one I would highly recommend springing for one. It will surely be a big hit!
