Pedestal sinks are coming back in ashion and can be a gorgeous addition to any bathroom. While many people worry about the lack of storage space that comes from using a pedestal sink, with some careful thought, you can make a pedestal sink work for you. A pedestal bathroom sink takes up less room than a tradition sink and vanity, so you can take the room that you save and invest in some attractive wicker baskets, a wall hung cabinet, or a small hutch. Pedestal sinks make a particularly good choice in half baths. Since these are often the restrooms used by guests, there is not as much need for storage. As long as you have a spot for clean hand towels and an extra roll of toilet tissue, you can enjoy the beauty of a pedestal sink in your half bath.
Antique pedestal sinks (or reproductions) are an especially decorative choice for small bathrooms. Unlike traditional sink and vanity combinations, a pedestal sink can be considered an ornament by itself. When you use a quality antique, reproduction, or glass pedestal sink, you really do not need many other decorative elements.
A pedestal bathroom sink makes sense if you have limited space and want a simple way to add an eye-catching element to your restroom. They may not be practical in the restroom where you apply makeup and bathe kids, where storage needs probably outweigh your desire for attractive decor.
