Pedestal Sinks.

Pedestal sinks are gaining in popularity with the resurgence of period style details.  Used in the following bathrooms, they add elegance and style. 

In this bathroom, designed by Michael Smith, pedestal sinks sit on either side of a charming elliptical window.  The armoire, round wood table and rug bring warmth and make the space seem less utilitarian and more like a sitting room or foyer than a bathroom.  Light floods in through french doors.  The lantern adds rustic charm. 

In this stylish eye-catching bathroom, not only do the pedestal sinks have large aprons to compensate for the lack of counter space, but have a lower shelf and towel bar as well.  A sparkling crystal chandelier and fabric covered sconces heighten the charming chic atmosphere.  I love it when additional seating is included in a bathroom design.  

I love the abundant use of marble tile which covers the entire wall and surrounds the space in glistening shades of white and gray.  It creates a very posh vibe.   

Using a pedestal sink in this small bathroom opens up the space and creates a more spacious feel.  I love the wainscoting which consists of crisp white subway tiles.  A period style door and lighting infuse the room with character.

Glass legs make these pedestal sinks appear to float as they extend from the wall.  Placed on opposite sides of the room, with an alabaster light fixture dangling above, the pedestal sinks allow the stunning bathtub to be the focal point.  The all-white scheme creates an etheral atmosphere that feels fresh and current.

This white pedestal sink is beautifully juxtaposed with a natural wood oval mirror and vintage sconces.  The wood floor and table add rustic charm.

A separate vanity makes up for the loss of counter and storage space that results when choosing a pedestal sink.  The white pedestal sink blends into the white waiscoting that wraps around the room.  Kelly Wearstler's Imperial Trellis wallpaper adds a punch of color and pattern and enlivens the space.
