(By Landmark Builders)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A vessel sink is generally a catch-all term for any sort of sink that rests on top of a counter or vanity, rather than being set into it. The initial inspiration behind them is a vintage throwback to the era before indoor plumbing, when all ablutions would be performed with a basin and a pitcher. So if you are trying to achieve a more traditional motif, a vessel sink would be a great choice.\u00a0Of course, today you would definitely want a faucet to go with it, which can be mounted on the wall, counter, or even on the sink itself, depending on the style. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14221\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14221\" style=\"width: 452px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vessel sinks come in all sorts of materials and styles.

In fact, this has become such a prevalent trend that even if you are going for a very specific theme (like in the photograph above) you can probably find a vessel sink to match it without much trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14222\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14222\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tempered Glass ZA-107-1, by Legion Furniture\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14222\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/\/2016\/11\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-02-at-3.27.38-PM.png\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-02-at-3.27.38-PM.png 500w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-02-at-3.27.38-PM-400x270.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14222\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tempered Glass ZA-107-1, by Legion Furniture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of great and diverse options for vessel sinks, <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/get_get_legion-furniture.html\" target=\"_blank\">Legion Furniture<\/a> has a particularly cool selection. Their sinks are especially designed to be paired with bathroom vanities, which don\u2019t always come with a sink or a space for a sink to be installed. Legion\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/buy_472_Legion-Furniture.html\" target=\"_blank\">selection<\/a> runs the gamut from the pattern above, to marble-tones, to faux-shattered glass, to watercolor paintings. I like Legion\u2019s choices for the reasonable prices, the diverse types of patterns, and for the very clean, simple shapes. Any of these could fit quite comfortably into a variety of different style bathrooms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14223\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14223\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vanities and counters are both excellent spots for a vessel sink.

There are some that resemble bird baths or troughs, or even cauldrons. I\u2019ve seen some that wouldn\u2019t look out of place in a witch\u2019s house. I especially like what the designer has done in the photo above, having the shape of the sink echoed in the oblong light fixtures and makeup plate. They went for a motif of warm rectangles, and the sink fits in nicely.\u00a0And honestly these sorts of sinks don&#8217;t need to be limited to a bathroom. They could look great in a kitchen or a bar, especially if you tend to do less cooking than the average person, and therefore find yourself washing fewer dishes.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you may have noticed, I think vessel sinks are really cool and trendy, and a great way to inject some personality into your bathroom. Over the course of writing this post, I may have even convinced a family member to have one installed. Hopefully I&#8217;ve helped to convince you as well!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently on the blog we\u2019ve been talking a lot about bathrooms, including how to give your space a more traditional or contemporary look, depending on which way you want to lean.
