One of today’s latest trends for beautiful baths are vessel sinks. If you are not yet familiar with them, vessel sinks sit on top of the vanity or counter, much like a bowl or washbasin does. While maintaining the functionality of typical bathroom sinks, these styles offer bath visitors a surprising view as the plumbing seems to disappear and a “freestanding” sink appears.
The materials and finishes of vessel sinks are also significant in completing this striking and trendy look. Copper is perhaps one of the most stunning materials in home furnishings today. Though it has been finely crafted for centuries and considered a classic for accessories inside and out, the copper sink is still an unexpected, but attractive option for style-minded homeowners.
Copper vessel sinks are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs. For a more rustic look, hammered copper provides the hand-hewn feel of a log cabin or lodge in the distant woods; doubled wall models reflect a sense of weight and sturdiness of the same bucolic comfort.

For the French or wine country lover, a copper sink adorned with bunches of dewy grapes or winding vines is an artistic touch for baths where you can relax and bathe while dreaming of countryside vineyards. For today’s contemporary lofts and city condos, a modern, square sink will carry the smooth surfaces and simple lines of your other furnishings. If you are truly a bold and daring decorator, copper vessel sinks are even available with mosaic glass exteriors that glimmer like a piece of commissioned artwork.
So keep your sink in mind as you design or remodel your next bathroom. It can easily be a bath as stylish as those featured in design home magazines. Copper sinks are trendy, yet sophisticated, and still impress users as they have been doing since skilled craftsmen hammered them out one by one in centuries past.
