Make a Splash With These Sink Types!

You don’t want to be the person who chooses a mishmash of features that don’t work well together. Learn how to “want” with purpose by understanding the different types of sinks and what each one brings to the loo:

Under-Mount Sinks

The type of sink you commonly find in the average home is the under-mount variety. If you picked up anything from the name, an undermount sink is one that secures the bowl to the counter from underneath. This is a go-to choice for those who simply want a sink that blends with the counter. Nothing wrong with a classic!

Pedestal Sinks

A little more niche, a pedestal sink is one where the basin is built on top of a pillar. This standalone fixture in the right style can be most alluring in cozy-looking bathrooms, but they can also help up space in tighter areas.

Console Sinks

Similar to a pedestal sink, a console sink is held up by two to four legs but is connected to a wall rather than standing alone. This uncommon style may speak to the homeowner looking for something unconventional.

Vessel Sinks

The vessel sink is undoubtedly one of our most popular requests. A bowl is rested on top of the counter space for a simple look that encourages outward thinking as anything you imagine can become the vessel in your domain.

Drop-In Sink

In the same vein as a vessel sink, a drop-in sink takes a bowl as the “vessel” but instead lowers it into the counter as opposed to having it rest on top. This gives you the satisfaction of choosing a beautiful bowl that’s visible below the counter but is flush on top like an under-mount sink.

Corner Sinks

Do you have an empty corner that you wish to utilize without tacking a suction-cupped caddy onto the wall? Why not put your sink there? A corner sink is exactly what it sounds like, and it does a fine job of saving you space with an area that would normally be collecting spider webs.

Wall-Mounted Sinks

A sink that is mounted to the wall is what you would typically find in a public space like at a casual restaurant or a shopping mall. However, experts in home design have stylized this option to be more appealing in private homes.

Trough Sinks

If you share a bathroom with another, a trough sink is a stylish alternative to the classic two-sink counter combo. It’s essentially an elongated basin that can support two or more faucets at once.
