When planning your new bathroom, or upgrading parts of your bathroom, one of the things you will undoubtedly see or hear about is bathroom pedestal sinks. If you want a sleek, classy look to your bathroom, or your bathroom sink area to be specific, you should consider this as a legitimate sink option. But, before deciding to go the way of a pedestal sink you have to be sure you have fully addressed your bathroom storage needs.
Most bathrooms are small, we all know that. A big issue when planning out a bathroom rehab is to provide enough storage space for the needs of the people who use the bathroom. Since pedestals do not offer storage like other vanities, you have to do some planning to see if one would make 
sense in your situation. First you have to think about the users of the bathroom and know what they need in the way of storage. Once you have that in mind, consider the other storage cabinets you will have in the room. Once you have done that you can decide if a pedestal sink is feasible.
If you have decided you want to go with a pedestal sink, you probably are looking for that upscale, clean look we mentioned earlier. The pedestal and sink are one unit rather than having a sink that mounts down into a vanity. This is where the clean look comes in, as there is nothing boxy beneath the sink.
Porcelain is perhaps the most popular material for these pedestals. That is probably because porcelain is the most popular choice for bathroom sinks. But don’t let yourself be limited to looking at porcelain pedestals. Glass is another option, and glass pedestal sinks are stunning in their beauty. Other material choices include stone, metal, or even cast iron.
Bathroom pedestal sinks are very easy to install. The body of the pedestal attaches to the wall, while the sink portion attaches to the base pedestal. Water lines and drain are normally hidden within part of the base unit. These units while simple in design, usually have a very elegant appearance. Pedestal sinks have been around for many years due to their simple, but versatile designs. While this choice in bathroom sink does not provide much in the way of storage, there usually are little things like soap dishes and small places on top like toothbrushes.
If you are looking for a sink choice that will not overpower your bathroom, but rather add a touch of class while not crowding the room, consider a bathroom pedestal sink.
