Buy A Glass Vessel Sink For Your Powder Room

There are a couple of things to consider when buying your new powder room glass vessel sink. First of all you will usually have to install a new vessel sink faucet. We particularly like the vessel sink trough faucets, which look like mini old- fashioned pump handles, but in lovely finishes like brass or bronze or even gold tone. These distinctive glass vessel sinks are made of a variety of materials to match your personal preference. Glass is a popular material and comes in many colors, shapes and textures. Some are embossed with designs. You will also find above counter sinks in metal, marble, and a variety of other materials.

Glass vessel sinks took the kitchen and bath and design world by storm when they came onto the design scene in the past decade. But glass vessel sinks are made of tempered glass. This means that the glass has been through a process where it has been heated to a very high temperature and then cooled very quickly which strengthens the glass.

Today, glass vessels are not only adding a splash of whimsy in bathrooms and powder rooms, but they are branching into styles all their own. In particular, the trend for the upcoming year is a glass vessel powder room and bathroom sinks to create a focal point.

Consider When buying a Glass Vessel Sink for your powder room

• Glass vessel sinks sit on top the counter, and may not be appropriate in a bath used by small children, as reach may be a problem. If this is your situation, and you have your heart set on a glass vessel sink, a powder room is a good option.

• Consider the bowl width and depth.

• Mirrors or medicine cabinets that are mounted above a glass vessel sink may need more clearance for the faucet depending on your selection. Also consider the splash effect.

Functional Art
 

Interior design has always been about combining function and style, and vessels have taken this to a new level. Art glass bathroom sinks in particular are in vogue for the upcoming year, especially for powder rooms and guest baths.

With the glass vessel up and off the bathroom countertop, a more sleek, streamlined style is opening up counter space.

Shaping Style

Glass bathroom sinks are going to be looking to new shapes and sizes in the upcoming designs. Look for large, square and unusually shaped vessel sinks to add a whole new dimension to this design phenomenon.

Fascinating Focal Points

With the Vessel sink area, the focal point of a powder room and bathroom, glass vessel sinks step up to the plate in adding a whole new dimension to this area. In the past, we've seen fancy powder room functioning as the focal point, but the trend is pointing towards a more understated elegance in vanities and a shower sinks taking front and center stage. Expect to see more neutral and deeper tones in bathrooms with the glass vessel sinks adding color and contrast.

A glass vessel sink in any material, shape, or color is a great way to express your own distinctive style and really set your powder room and bathroom apart.
