Stylish Pedestal Sink

It’s time to think about opening up some room in that bathroom by doing some small bathroom remodeling.  But will a pedestal sink really meet your needs?  Pedestal sinks are very stylish and can be an integral part of small bathroom remodeling, by making the room appear larger.  The downside of a pedestal sink is that you will need to figure out where you are going to put items that are currently stored in your vanity.

Some pedestal sinks only have a sink top, while others do have a small shelf of space for a bar of soap or possibly a toothbrush canister.  What they don’t provide is a cabinet in your bathroom to store toilet paper, towels, wash cloths, brushes, combs, etc.  So, if you are considering installing a pedestal sink, you need to add storage as part of your small bathroom remodeling project.  Look around your bathroom or the adjacent hallway to find storage options.  You may be able to create storage in your bathroom with baskets or overhead cabinets, depending on the layout of your small bathroom.  Remodeling these spaces is always a challenge for the imagination.

The other things to think about when making a decision to install a pedestal sink, are what the wall finish behind your current vanity looks like and will you be able to blend it into the rest of the wall.  Also, you may need a plumber in order to move the drain and supply lines to fit within the pedestal part of your new sink.
