Guide to Pedestal Bathroom Sinks

Pedestal bathroom sinks are very decorative and popular in bathroom remodeling. They take up very little space and yet can add a hint of elegance to any bathroom, whether the room is grand or small. There are many styles of pedestal sinks with different shapes and sizes to fit almost any space or corner. There are also various colors and faucet styles to get just the right look and feel for your bathroom decor.

Types of Pedestal Sinks

Materials for bathroom sinks include ceramic (china), glass, stone, or a blend of other materials such as stone and wrought iron or wood and chrome. There are various shapes for the basin such as round or rectangular with lovely backsplashes. You can select from different styles for the pedestal base, which include columnar, straight, or other unique designs such as the tempered glass vessel with a wood base and metal foot.

Pedestal bathroom sinks might be plain and simplistic in design or very fancy with decorative borders in creative patterns. For a very elegant bathroom decor, a wrought iron base to hold the sink basin can do wonders. Granite stone in various colors and patterns can add solidity to a large bathroom or be used to decorate a public access restroom.

Also, depending on its use, you might opt for a pedestal bathroom sink with or without an overflow hole, or with added space around the faucet deck for small bath items such as toothbrushes, hairbrushes, etc. Popular colors for pedestal sinks include white, bone, balsa, and black. Tempered glass sinks come in a variety of colors, and granite stone often comes in dark colors, either a solid color or with decorative patterns.

Things to Consider when Buying a Pedestal Sink

Before buying a pedestal sink, consider the layout and size of your bathroom. Where will the sink be located? How much space is available? Will it interfere with walking space? Match the sink's design with the rest of your bath decor. If your bathroom has a simple look and feel with a touch of modernism, opt for a classic design. If you have a very luxurious bathroom decor, choose a pedestal sink with a more elegant look.

Faucet sets usually don't come with the sink, so be sure to choose the sink before buying a faucet kit. Sinks are made differently to accommodate various styles of faucets so you'll want to match these before making a decision. Buy a sink that includes a mounting kit and easy installation instructions, especially if you plan to install it on your own. Consider the sink's height as well. Is it high enough for comfort? Can a mirror easily be installed above if you want to use it as a vanity sink?

If you're building a new bathroom or doing a complete bath remodeling job, you might consider a “corner” pedestal bathroom sink to save space. These are designed to fit perfectly in a corner of the room and allow for extra floor space. They are particularly convenient with smaller bathrooms. Consider where other items will be placed such as the toilet, tub, bathroom shelves or cabinets, etc. before deciding on a sink.

With pedestal bathroom sinks, there are so many styles and shapes to choose from that you can easily find one to enhance your bathroom décor at an affordable price.
