Vessel sinks are an exquisite, eye catching addition to your bathroom décor. The vessel sink vanity increases the value of your home. For a simple piece, this says a lot. What is a vessel sink? It’s a unique sink installed above the countertop (or without a countertop at all) that has a bowl like shape. That shape can vary in size, roundness, and depth, but invariably looks like what its called, a vessel sink. Many are hand crafted, so that no two will look exactly alike, either. You wouldn’t think that hand or face washing would be an experience. But with bathroom vessel sinks, it really feels like luxury.

The glass vessel sink is an elegant style that can be the centerpiece to nearly any bathroom décor. Frosted and transparent glass is especially versatile, and they are available in textured versions as well, for an added touch of character…water spot camouflage. Opaque glass makes more of a statement. Square, round, deep, or shallow, they’re all beautiful. Glass vessel sinks range from about $200 to $400.

Stone vessel sinks include everything from granite to concrete to gemstone designs. They are bulkier and have a heavier look than glass. Even light colored onyx has a serious tone. Depending on the stone material you choose, prices vary greatly. Be ready to spend anywhere from $400 to $600 to even $1000 dollars on a these sinks.

The copper vessel sink has a lot of character. Most of them are “hand hammered,” meaning an artisan hammered them out of a single sheet of copper. You can taste this work in the style. Copper also naturally evolves with it environment, which adds to depth and character. They are less expensive, however; you may spend as little as $100 on copper vessel sinks, or up to $300 or $400.

The ceramic vessel sink, rather china or porcelain sinks, are the most common bathroom sink. They allow for a variety of shapes and designs, low maintenance, and low cost. Usually white, sometimes black, ceramic vessel sinks cost from $100 to $300.

Vessel sink faucets are the next consideration to make. A simpler decision than the sink itself, but just as important; your faucet completes the design and function. Wall mounted or not, you’ll find faucets with swooping shapes or straight lines, in chrome, nickel, brass, bronze, or copper.

Now you go put that puzzle together.
