Vessel Sinks For Every Style

Vessel sinks so often fall into the modern category when it comes to style, but they’re really compatible with traditional and transitional styles, too. The more angular vessel sink that usually comes to mind fits the modern style, but if you go with a vessel sink that has a textured floral pattern with a nice round bowl, it very much emphasizes the traditional style. Transitional vessel sinks are beautiful in a metal or glass, and tend to have softer angles than a modern vessel sink, but typically not the intricate details you’ll find in a traditional one.

Vessel sinks make beautiful accent pieces to vanities. They add a unique design statement that you’re not going to see in every bathroom. However, there are a few things to consider, such as selecting a faucet that allots enough clearance over the sink and the fact that the vanity will have to be lower to account for the height of the sink. Both are elements that don’t really come into play with undermount sinks.

In terms of popularity, many people still opt for the understated look of an undermount sink, so choosing a vessel sink is an easy way to stand out and make a style statement in your bathroom or powder room.

Choosing the right sink for your bathroom or powder room is just one of many elements you need to pull together for a stunning design.

Pros and Cons of Marble Countertops

Marble countertops are an absolutely stunning natural stone, but do the cons outweigh the pros for choosing it as countertops in your bathroom?  Let’s start with the cons:  marble is one of the softest natural stones, meaning it can stain and etch easily.   Like most natural stones, marble needs to be sealed once or twice a year.

“Marble bathroom countertops come in a variety of colors, which can make them beautiful accent pieces.” says Normandy Designer Jennifer Runner, “While there’s definitely maintenance involved, there’s nothing that compares to natural stone.”

This white bathroom is a great example of how to incorporate accent colors, such as the warm marble countertops and tile accents on the floor and shower.  Jennifer and the homeowners were thrilled when the bathroom was awarded Remodeling Excellence by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.  “It’s the most rewarding feeling to not only have your homeowners’ wishlist fulfilled and achieve their ideal space,” commented Jennifer, “but to be recognized by the industry is a great reminder that staying on top of the latest remodeling trends, products and techniques is completely worth it.”
