Vessel Sink Faucet Review

Vessel sinks are becoming increasingly popular, and are starting to make an appearance in many households due to their unique style and look. They are usually self contained, rather than being set into a cabinet or other type of unit. This tends to make a room look more spacious, and gives a grand and appealing effect to the room. Many vessel sinks are designed to look rustic, and are becoming more commonly found in complete bathrooms, otherwise known as bathrooms that are supplied by a company as a whole package. This means that all units in the bathroom will match and fir together fairly well. A big feature of a Vessel Sink is the faucet which it uses, as this can either make or break the overall design.

When it comes to looking at faucets, many people assume that they are unimportant. People tend to think that a faucet is simply a faucet, and simply distributes water and nothing else. While this is partly true, there are many benefits of having a good quality faucet when compared to having a poor one. More often than not, a vessel sink will come a faucet installed, but if yours does not, or you are not happy with the way it looks, than a replacement faucet could be a good idea to consider.

It can be difficult to price up how much you will need to pay for a faucet, but as a general idea, you should be able to get hold of on for around $200. The amount you spend largely depends on the quality of model, as well as the company who manufacture it and the shop you buy it from.

Eden Bath are a reputable and reliable source of Vessel Sink faucets, and have plenty of different designs to choose from. Whether you are looking for metal faucets, or faucets designed to look like wood, Eden Bath have got all types of models designed to suit your every need. Their models start at around $150, and range up to around $250.

Kraus are another company which are well known for their good quality faucets. They have designed faucets in a variety of models, including vintage, metal along with bamboo. Faucets from Kraus are to be found at around $200-$400, depending on the model you go for, and where you purchase from.

Whether you want a cheap, budget faucet for your vessel sink, or an expensive and lavish one, the internet is one of your best methods of research, as there is a seemingly endless supply of designs and types. Prices can appear to be high, but remember you really do get what you pay for, and buy saving yourself money in the short run, you may very well end up costing yourself more money in the future, in terms of maintenance bills if the faucet messes up. Don’t rush into buying anything, and always check the measurements of the faucet you need before you actually buy it.

Two Pedestal Sinks I Like

I like lots of pedestal sinks but the following three are really cool. Some are pretty expensive like the St. Thomas Creations Liberty Pedestal Lavatory Sink and others like the Colony Pedestal Sink by American Standard are not that high priced. I’ll be discussing what is cool about these pedestal sinks and what their features and dimensions are. Keep reading to get all the details.

I’ll start off with the St. Thomas Creations Liberty Pedestal Lavatory Sink that you can pick up for around $450. I would consider its look very simple yet the simplicity is what makes it look so clean and so nice. It is made from vitreious china and has a rear overflow. It has 12 inch center faucet drilling’s and is 25.5 inches wide by 21.75 inches by 34.12 inches high. There are no markings like ridges or patterns on the pedestal leg or on the top bowl part. It is fairly large for a pedestal sink which is why I think I like it so much. There looks to be room for a soap dispenser.

Now I’ll move onto the $200 Colony Pedestal Sink by American Standard. It is also made from vitreous china but its overflow is in the front of the bowl. I’m a fan of this pedestal sink since there is a nice ledge for accessories or a soap dish. You can get the Colony with 4 inch or 8 inch faucet drilling’s. I would prefer the 8 inch drilling’s. The size of its bowl is 17.5 inches by 11.5 by 5.5 inches. The overall size of the sink is 21.75 inches by 18.5 by 34 inches. There is a nice simple design on the pedestal leg and there is a lower ledge where the faucet goes. Both of these features help to sell me on this pedestal sink.

Fancy Pedestal Sinks or Plain Ones

When looking to buy a pedestal sink there are so many choices out there its like getting an information overload. There are really tons and tons of options to check out. To simplify things I think you should start off knowing if you want a fancy pedestal sink or just a simple one. Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with either pick. They both look great; the only reason you start out this way is so you can narrow your choices and make it easier when finding a pedestal sink for your bathroom.

I’ll start out discussing a the characteristics of a simple or plain pedestal sink. Usually they will lack a lot of designs and special features. They are just your standard sink. Think no fancy curves but rather a plain pedestal leg and on top is just a simple sink bowl. Although having something so simple in your bathroom can really improve its look. Its funny but lots of bathrooms look better with a simple plain pedestal sink than a fancy one. These types can work in either a bathroom with a lot going on or just a little bit of background colors. Think about it, if you have a nice little, simple bathroom a perfect sink for it would be just a normal pedestal sink with out all the frills. It will fit right in. On the other hand a simple pedestal sink will look nice in a bathroom with lots going on since it will stand out from the surrounding busyness and draw your eye to it.

While a simple pedestal sink can pretty much go with any type of bathroom I think that a fancy pedestal sink should only be used when the bathroom is also very fancy and has a lot of extras to it. The reason is that in a fancy pedestal sink would stick out to much and make your little, simple powder room look weird. I know some people do not agree with this but its just my humble opinion on how it would look. So once you decide on either simple or fancy you can start a more in depth search on exactly which model you will get. Thats enough info for this posts, I’ll discuss picking the right pedestal model for you in the next post.
