Contemporary Vessel Sinks and Faucets
Vessel sinks and faucets have become a popular focal point of modern bathroom decor. These beautifully crafted products can be interestingly shaped from just about any raw material, ranging from plain glass to marble, granite, and different types of metals. While positioned above-counter, contemporary vessel sinks offer unique beauty and design, as well as increased functionality. They can be fashioned to fit any style, whether it is modern, rustic or conservative. Even more traditional spaces are enhanced by vessel sinks and matching faucets.
Handmade glass vessel sinks are a popular design. They come mounted, slumped, fused, mosaic or hand-blown. Some are situated with lighting that reflects above or beneath to accentuate the details of the design. Glass vessel sinks have even influenced and inspired faucet manufacturers to create designs that compliment these works of art. Prices vary, depending on whether you choose a glass vessel sink, round or rectangular vessel sinks, painted glass vessel sinks, or other styles. Given the availability, there is a design to match any style and budget.
Stone, granite or marble vessel sinks can be the focal point of your bathroom decor. However, special care should be taken in maintaining the integrity of these porous stones. Certain substances can stain these surfaces to a degree that is permanent if neglected. Should a spill occur, wipe it up immediately and avoid allowing salt, calcium, lime or detergents to build up on your stone surfaces.
Copper, stainless-steel and metal vessel sinks are gaining recent acceptance for both the kitchen and bathroom. Copper sinks have been around for quite some time now, but have been gaining popularity more recently. Over the years, the copper will change to warmer tones that will give your sink a unique, almost rustic character. Copper vessel sinks can be obtained at prices ranging from about $420-$700.
Inspired by contemporary art, today's modern faucets have clean designs that are transformed into high end bathroom fixtures. With finishes of brushed stainless-steel, chrome, oil rubbed bronze and brushed nickel, faucets can greatly enhance the overall look of a sink.
Wall mount faucets have a minimalist tone with elongated lines, and take on a style inspired by more dynamic and visually catching geometry. They are made of materials that resist corrosion and tarnishing. Durable performance and longevity are the main reasons that homeowners desire these sleek, modern fixtures. Prices for wall mount faucets start as low as $200, and peak at about $1,600.
