Pedestal Sinks Capture a Bygone Era

More from the Bathroom Remodeling Gallery

If you’re renovating the bathroom and space is an issue, you can’t beat the timeless beauty of a pedestal sink. What’s old is new again. Pedestal sinks have been around for over a hundred years. They add some old-time sophistication to the bathroom, reckoning back to when it was referred to as the “powder room.” 

The basic idea with a pedestal sink is rather simplistic. It consists of a ceramic bowl placed on top of a ceramic pedestal. Mix in some modern plumbing and you’re set.

People are drawn to this simple, yet stylish bathroom sink because it is so different. With essentially one leg to stand on it reminds us of an era long gone, a time warp if you will. Pedestals are a very practical alternative to larger space eating vanities. They fit into cramped spaces, which helps you save room.

Choosing a modern pedestal may require a great deal of research. The pedestal styles have changed from their more traditional look. Plus, you don’t want to go through the hassle of exchanging it. So make sure to investigate all of your pedestal options before buying. When you’re ready to install, have a professional do it.
