Save space while adding style to any bathroom with a pedestal sink. Perfect for half-baths or any bathroom with space constraints, many pedestal sink basins measure 20” or less to fit in even the smallest lavatories. These compact sinks are available in a range of styles and price ranges to fit any lifestyle and budget.
Pedestal sinks are comprised of two pieces: the basin and stand (pedestal). The pedestal is mounted to the floor and hides the plumbing supply lines. The stand is often tapered to open up floor space for trash cans and other bathroom essentials. Corner pedestal sinks utilize every square inch available by tucking into the far corner of the bathroom. To further maximize your space, look for pedestal sinks with integrated towel bars and ledges designed to hold toiletries.
With traditional pedestal sinks, the basin and stand are both made of vitreous china or porcelain. These nonporous, stain-resistant, durable surfaces are ideal for everyday bathroom use. Although white is the most common color, you can find sinks in other colors, including black and biscuit.
Pedestal sinks are now available in new materials, such as copper, resin, and even glass. A copper pedestal sink creates a hygienic environment with its natural antibacterial properties. Resin sinks offer a variety of modern shapes and require only a rinse and wipe with a soft cloth after use to keep clean. Glass pedestal sinks offer a stunning modern look. Stone sinks create a rustic feel when paired with a matching stone pedestal, or an Old-World, artistic feel when sitting atop a wrought-iron stand.
Pedestal sinks typically feature an integral basin. These no-rim bowls allow for easy cleanup and prevent dirt and debris from getting trapped. Vessel basins that rest on top of the stands are popular choices for homes with contemporary décor.
Faucets complete the pedestal sink. Available faucet drillings include widespread, single-hole, and even wall-mount options. Faucets can be found in a variety of finishes to complement both the pedestal sink and room décor.
