A stylish choice for contemporary bathrooms, a vessel sink is a basin that sits on top of the counter. A blue glass vessel sink with a nickel faucet is the focal point of this tranquil master bathroom. Design by Jill E. Hertz.

A pedestal sink is a basin that is supported by a freestanding pedestal leg. Pedestal sinks take up very little floor space and are easy to clean around, making them a great option for both large and small bathrooms. The pedestal sink is perfect for this bathroom since there isn’t much square footage. Image courtesy of Kohler
