An above counter sink can be the focal point of a bath vanity due to it's distinctive look with many choices in style color and material. And add to all this diversity, the application of the fixture itself. the very boldness it displays on your countertop is a very dramatic effect.

Installing an above counter sink instead of the standard bath basin can definitely update the look of your bathroom.

Vessel sink materials

You will find these sinks in porcelain, marble, glass, granite, hammered copper, stainless steel, and wood. I'm sure you agree that this varied selection provides endless possibilities. Every material has it's own character, and determines how it may best be implemented. Combining two materials in one fixture is not uncommon, giving it a striklngly different look.

Not only are above counter sinks made from a diverse selection of materials, but they are also in any color you might imagine. Sometimes more than one metal product is combined offering a fixture a different appearance. Glass sinks can be found in all colors, and in various intensities to blend with a variety of tastes and decor. Each natural material has it's own color variances provided by nature.

Vessel sink shapes are diverse

The diversity of these unique sinks doesn’t stop with color or material, but is further extended when you think about the many shapes.

We expect to see square, round or oval bath sinks. in addition to squares,rectangles, and round shapes, above counter sinks take many shapes both from artists which are beyond description, but they are also in shapes that are copied from nature. They are often embossed with raised designs, or may have specially shaped edges.

Selecting a faucet to complement your sink

There are many faucet styles created to complement these sinks which usually require a taller spout.  These special faucets are often called vessel fillers. Of the many style choices, widespread and single assembly have proven the most popular. Faucets are usually either counter mounted or wall mounted

These vessel fillers are available in all the most popular finishes such as brushed nickel, pewter, burnished bronze, and copper, just as an example. And styles of faucets from contemporary to Vintage widen the many selection choices.

Its easy to see, that when you have narrowed your selection of shape, material, color and you have added your choice of a vessel fill and installed these on your countertop it is highly unlikely that your vanity areas will be like any other you will see.
