A vessel sink vanity can add a combination of history and modern elegance to a bathroom. Vessel sinks have become extremely popular today in higher end new home construction due to their sleek and stylish appearances. Vessel sink vanities are also commonly used in commercial applications such as restaurant bathrooms. A vessel sink vanity brings a touch of history to a bathroom due to the fact that that the sink bowl itself looks like an old fashion wash basin.
In many cases the vessel sink bowl sits on top of a bathroom vanity that resembles an antique piece of furniture. In other cases a vessel sink can be mounted directly onto a wall. |
