Vanity vessel sink

8 years ago

I am doing now a small bathroom (see image) and I'm doing a custom vanity (see image, colours aren't accurate) and I like a vessel sink, my question is since the depth of the counter is only 17 inches will it make sense to have a vessel sink? I'm afraid it will be something to bulky on a small counter, what do you think and any suggestion.

if you will have an upper cabinet as shown, i think the sink shouldnt be a vessel. it will look too crowded.

Love the finished parts of your bath -- off to a great start!

I don't think that your proposed design would work with a true vessel sink -- the additional height needs to be offset with a lower counter all the way across (i.e., remove one drawer of depth). That doesn't seem like a good trade-off in a tight space (unless it's a powder room).

What is going on with the cabinet, or is there a cabinet? Does it have doors that create a center line? Does it have an opening for a basin or is it a vessel sink basin (a bowl that sits on top of the cabinet). A picture would help us help you in the best possible way, but not having seen it- 99.9% of basins must be centered under the faucet. For splashing and for aesthetics. Exceptions are rare. Good luck! I hope to see a pic and get more specific!

Cabinets by Design LLC if there is no room there, where would you consider placing the refrigerator? I would need some dry area (counter top) as well to keep my mixer/blender etc. also some space in the bottom for cabinets to keep all those big vessels for cooking. How to make use of the corner portion well? side - d? I have to think about the possibility Sativa Jaeger Designs LLC mentuioned , about moving the kitchen opening up further north. I also don't want want the kitchen door to be just opposite to toilet door . the kitchen door should start at the point where toilet door ends. I know this is a huge challenge, as it is really small and thats the only drawback of this house which we had to compromise considering all other aspects.

Hi! Yeah it will. You will have to get your plumbing lines capped and replaced. It's not advisable to have a joint in the plumbing line. So the one that you are wanting to pull to the new sink will need a fresh line put in from the last bend it has. I hope that makes sense! Best! Miloni

Try to keep a band ( designed metal or board ) around the sink on three sides , which can makes the water spill less on that three sides ....or try to keep a rectangular hole on corners around sink for slab which doenst look like hole and get a decorative cover for that, and connect that to the outlet at down...so that its easy to push water around the sink so that it drains... Or get an extra slab just to place around sink where water spills and place it on top of existing slab if you don't want to remove the existing sink and place...

Both of the comments above are correct. A vessel will create a top heavy look. The vanity should be standard height to make the vessel the correct height.

And the plumbing may be an issue considering the depth of the cabinet. Wall fed plumbing would require drywall/tile modifications.

Your best look is as it is now. Hope this helps.

@Atlantis, we just removed a standard height vanity with a vessel sink. We're both over 5'6", and had to use a step stool to use it! My petite SIL couldn't use it at all. The former owners put it in, I'm guessing they never used it, because they are shorter than we are. Our contractor says he sees a lot of this. There are cabinets especially sized for vessel sinks. OP doesn't look like your cabinet is the right height anyway.
