Vessel sink vanities are a popular and trendy look for bathrooms in a modernist style. They have a unique look which is more likely to be found in a high end hotel or restaurant than the typical home. The style is originally derived from an older style wash basin but is now the height of modern bathroom style. In some cases, it looks like you could just pick up the vessel but almost always they are a permanent part of the vanity and are of course connected to the waste water plumbing system. The typical form is a vanity with a bowl structure on top. Beyond this general form, anything is possible and consequently designers have gone wild with different possibilities. The vanity can be made of wood, metal or even class. The vessel itself can take many forms from a bowl to a tub of virtually any size and shape. This look is not for someone who wants a conservative and ordinary bathroom. Instead, vessel sink vanities are for people at the bleeding edge of aggressive design and style who want to have a unique bathroom that no one else has.
In some cases, a vessel sink vanity is designed and sold as one piece. In other cases, you can mix and match your own choice of vanity and vessel sinks. You can also choose a faucet to match and accent your sink and vanity. If you can’t find the appropriate vessel sink, almost any container can be converted and used for your sink. Here are a few examples of popular vessel bathroom sinks and vanities available today:
Kohler DemiLav Wading Pool Vessel Sink: This is a stylized white rectangular sink. It has four corners that rise to gentle peaks and has a relatively narrow basin for a unique look. It echoes a normal rectangular sink at first glance but carries loads of additional style and elegance.
Zen Bathroom Vessel Sink by Porcher: This is also a rectangular vessel sink, but with an asymmetrical shape that makes room for the faucet on either the left or right side, depending how you choose to install it.
White Travertine Vessel Sink: This sink is made of travertine stone and echoes the shape of shallow wash basin. Other vessel sinks are available in virtually any kind of stone, glass or ceramic material.
