When it comes to adding a sink to your bathroom, you may want to consider the use of a bathroom pedestal sink. A bathroom pedestal sink is the perfect addition to any bathroom that is limited on space or in the need of a more classic look. Supported by a thin pedestal and a large basin, a bathroom pedestal sink does not have very much counter space, but they are perfect for a hall or guest bathroom that is rarely used.
When purchasing a bathroom pedestal sink you will notice that there are several different varieties of sinks. Though they have a “classic” look, a bathroom pedestal sink can still be modern. The sink basin itself can be round, oval, square, rectangular or even specialty shapes such as shells. The sink basin can be shallow, deep or average, which is why you will want to consider your overall use for those basins. If you are going to use that sink often, then you may want an average to deep basin depth. Bathroom pedestal sinks can also come in a variety of colors. The more common colors found are white, ecru, off white or deep tans. Always consider the color of other hardware and fixtures within your bathroom prior to purchasing your pedestal sink.
Bathroom pedestal sinks can be found anywhere from $100 to over $800. Depending on the type of material that they are made from, the size and the overall basin type, your pedestal sink can cost more or less. Brands such as Kohler, Porcher or Toto will cost more than brands such as St. Thomas, American Standard, or Sterling.
When purchasing a bathroom pedestal sink you can find them both online and in-store. Though there are a large amount of pedestal sinks online, factors such as shipping and not knowing what your sink looks like in person should be considered. Often a picture of a sink can be deceiving in comparison to what your sink will actually look like. When shopping online visit retailers such as eFaucets, Sterling Plumbing, Pedestal Sink Store, Amazon, Overstock, EBay, or Faucet Direct. If you are going to do your shopping locally, you will want to visit retailers such as Sears, JC Penny, Macys, Walmart, Target, ACE Hardware, Lowes and The Home Depot for a large variety of pedestal sinks and even information on installing them yourself.
A bathroom pedestal sink can be a great addition for a bathroom that is smaller in size than most. They are stylish and functional and typically easy to install. When purchasing your pedestal sink you will want to consider what the installation process will entail and whether or not you will need to hire a professional service to do the job for you or not.
