Luxury Vessel Sinks Add Unique Elegance to Your Washington DC Home

Adding a vessel sink to your Chevy Chase, Bethesda, or Washington DC bathroom is the ideal way to grace any type of bathroom with a unique, functional focal point. Simply put, a vessel sink is a free-standing sink that sits directly on top of a countertop or piece of furniture. A contemporary, high-end bathroom design element, vessel sinks are actually based on a centuries-old washbasin design, used in the days before running water.

Today's vessel sink options are anything but outdated - and are a fantastic element for any high end bathroom renovation. Vessel sinks are available in various shapes, sizes, depths, and materials, including natural stone, stainless steel, marble, china, cast iron, copper, bronze, and glass. Vessel sinks come in such shapes as circular, square, rectangular, oval, and more. When incorporating a vessel sink in your renovated bathroom, steer clear of trying to match it to your bathtub or fixtures; instead, choose a vessel sink that coordinates with the rest of your bathroom.

Vessel sinks require certain functional design elements, including different counter heights than most traditional bathroom sinks. Vessel sinks must be paired with a faucet that has a long enough neck to each the center of the sink, prevent splashing, and allow adequate clearance in the basin.

Vessel sinks are a wonderful addition to any Washington DC area bathroom or powder room.
