You might think of ceramic as being a generic, even boring choice for a bathroom – just plain white and not particularly spectacular.

Unless you have a particularly stunning freestanding bathtub or an elaborately tiled custom shower stall, there’s a good chance that your vanity is the most unique fixture in your bathroom.
