Bathroom sinks are essential appliances in any bathroom, of course. They serve a number of useful purposes: they help you brush your teeth, wash your face, shave your stubble, and more. But standard bathroom sinks simply lack originality. There's nothing particularly special looking about them. That is exactly why vessel sinks have become so popular in recent years. These sinks are just as useful as standard sinks, but they are also visually striking to keep your bathroom looking fresh and impressive.

The modern trend among designers is to add a vessel sink to your bathroom. These widely popular sinks are desirable for their modern combination of aesthetic appeal and tastefully contemporary style. If you bathroom sink seeming boring and bland, why not try to spice it up with a new sink that reflect your tastes and personal style?

Perhaps you're wondering, "What is a vessel sink?"

A vessel sink is a large bowl that rests on your countertop, though some vessel sinks are partially recessed into the countertop itself. It is a large, often ornate basin that provides a unique character for the bathroom. But such a definition is really too limited: these sinks come in a multitude of unique shapes, sizes, and styles. Vessel sinks come in all shapes and sizes (elliptical, square, vase, hat style, triangle, but most are circular or elliptical format, some defy categorization. Many sink retailers offer full customization services. The materials a vessel sink is made from also vary, from stone materials (like granite, onyx, travertine) to porcelain, marble, metals, and glass. There is a perfect sink for your bathroom: you just have to get out there and find it!

Bathroom vessel sink care is a little more work than you standard bathroom sink, but it not a difficult process. Every few weeks use a standard house cleaner to clean you sink. Use a gentle household cleaner that is maked for galls or porcelain. We recommend using a non-abrasive scrubbing cloth or something similar, make sure you are not using anything that might damage or harm the exterior surface of you vessel sink. By not taking care of your bathroom sink and removing hard water stains it makes the sink look ugly and can compromise the life of the basin. It is a good idea to use vinegar and cloth to remove hard water stains, especially on glass surfaces. Be sure to clean the outside of the bowl as well as the inside!

With proper care, vessel sinks will last a long time, and will bring years of functional beauty to your bathroom.
