Natural Stone sinks add a dramatic look to any bathroom

Designers are loving the effects stone sinks have in the bathrooms. Handmade stone vessels are now comming down in price, to the point where many poeple are putting them in their own homes. I remember the first time I saw one was in an upscale bar, and the sink was mounted on top of the bathroom vanity, and the taps came right out of the tile wall. This style was a fantastic addition that really made you feel like the owners had taken care of every detail. My husband and I both commented on how nice they were, so when it came time for a bathroom renovation, we already knew what we wanted.

Natural stone sinks are made from a variety of stones, giving you a huge selection of color. Granite sinks are easy to match up with granite countertops, and are often easy to coordinate with tile. Marble sinks are often more attention grabbing, as the swirls in the stone are so unique, making each sink very different.

A popular design in bathroom vessels is to have the outer surface rough, while the inner bowl is polished and ready for use. Striking a balance between nature and beauty. In this case you would want to mount your sink on top of the counter to show the exterior off. You can also get vessels that drop into your counter like most sinks do. This style often works well for granite sinks, as the sink and counter become one continous piece of luxury.
