Adding a new bathroom vanity or bathroom cabinet to your home can transfer the look and feel of the master bath or powder room. The fall and winter seasons can be a very advantageous time of year to accomplish this too with seasonal sales on bathroom furniture and cabinets, as well as the fact that contractors tend to be slower so your potential to land a good deal in a remodeling contract is pretty high. There is one more accessory that can help transform your bathroom in the remodeling process which is adding vessel sinks.
Bathroom vanities typically come with the cabinet assembled, but there are other options to customize your furniture piece. These include changing out the countertop material such as marble, granite, travertine, or even tempered surgical glass for more modern pieces. You always have the option for a single post or 3 piece faucet set of your choosing to properly match the bath faucets and towel bars. Lastly there is the option for more modern or contemporary vanities to add a vessel sink or two if it’s a double vanity.
The option to add vessel sinks to your bathroom vanity is present for those units that do not have under mount porcelain sinks already installed in the countertop and when there is a single hole in the center of the counter as a connection point. Typically the above mount vessel sinks are for modern or contemporary vanities, and also come in a variety of materials, sizes, styles, shapes, and designs.
You can find porcelain sinks that are rounded or square, tempered glass sinks, and stone sinks made of marble, granite, or travertine. Oftentimes there are designs etched in the sinks or colors within the glass to give a truly ornate and unique design perspective. You can also find options where the sink bowls are made of clay and are painted with southwestern designs for those in desert areas.
When purchasing and installing vessel sinks for your vanity, be sure that the faucets you choose are either high post, high arch, or stem from the wall so you can ensure the faucet is high enough to bring water overtop the rim of the above mount sink. Make sure there is plenty of clearance here and that you can get your hands comfortably under the faucet and in the sink. Adding vessel sinks can liven up your bathroom and help transform into a modern or contemporary paradise.
