Vessel Sinks: Form or Function in the Bathroom?

Are vessel sinks for form or function? Well, to be totally honest, Julia tells us they are more for a particular look. You want to keep in mind the amount of use a vessel sink will get.   There will be splashing so you want to be prepared to be wiping down the counter tops. If there isn’t much use say in a powder bath, there is definitely function there. End of the day, it is your call on looks and functionality.


My name is Julia Ritzenthaler, Founder and President of Unique Vanities, started in 2005. I started this business as an extension of our residential remodeling business, which focused on the design and build of custom cabinetry and architectural trim. I also worked as a financial advisor for 10 years at Ameriprise Financial, helping clients make sound money decisions, including budgeting for home improvement expenses. This expertise led me to start Unique Vanities, which offers a handpicked selection of high quality bathroom vanities, sinks, mirrors and more. You can find me most days sitting in Starbucks, my second office, or in my car driving my daughter across Dallas to gymnastics training.
