Once you have decided that a glass sink is right for your bathroom, you have to decide just which kind of glass bathroom sink you want. There are four basic style of glass bathroom sinks. These include the glass vessel sink, glass pedestal sink, glass drop in sink, and glass wall mount sink.
Vessel sinks tend to be the most stylish and “statement making” of the four types of glass sinks available for your bathroom. A glass vessel bathroom sink with intricate designs can be a true piece of art in your bathroom. The good news it is also functional so you get two things in one. A vessel sink mounts to the top of a counter top, or some are mounted partially recessed into the counter top. This type of mounting means that most of the sink, both inside and outside, are able to be seen. The result can be spectacularly beautiful.
Pedestal glass sinks for the bathroom look much like a standard porcelain pedestal sink as far as their shape goes. You can have a glass sink atop a fairly standard pedestal, or you can really go for a bigger look of glass and have the pedestal itself made from glass, with the glass sink mounted at the top. There are some options in this design that are all one piece and these make for a very classy bathroom sink.
If you want the look of a glass bathroom sink, but don’t want to go too crazy with cost or get too outside the box in terms of style, then perhaps a glass drop in sink is the choice for you. These sinks have the same shape as a standard bathroom sink, they difference being they are made out of glass. You still get the stunning look of glass, it is just not on as big a level as the glass vessel sink or the glass pedestal sink.
The fourth style of glass bathroom sinks is the wall mount sink. These sinks are very classy in design, with a minimalist feel to them. The sink is hung from the wall, and there is no cabinet beneath the sink. This means the drain and water lines will be in view. You can have the water lines run out of the wall above the sink, but the drain is still in view. One very stylish think to consider with a wall mount glass bathroom sink is to have the water lines and drain made or encased in something stylish. The result is a very simple yet stylish and upscale look.
Whichever style of glass bathroom sink you choose, take your time and do the research. The bathroom is a small room, many times it is the smallest room in the house. In a room of that size you are limited in the ways in which you can add style in the decor. The sink is one area where you can have both function and whatever style you want to impose on the room, so be sure you see all the options before making your decision.
