There is no real info here for me to help. What tiles are you going with? IMO already too many tile types for bathroom i think if you like those colored tiles then do everything elses on a plainn 12 x254 porcelain tile in a color from those tiles. I think if you want a vessel sink my first qestion is how old is your daughter? Also waht are the counters and the vanity style. All of these things need to work together and IMO a small space can only have one star and I honestly do not think that sink works with your choices. Post pics of the space please .If you love those blue tiles IMO a simple sink in a nice color of glass that goes with the tile .

Hard to keep clean for a daily use bath. Also you need to consider the height of the cabinet. I'd get a regular undermount sink that is easier to maintain for your daughter's use.

My daighters are 12 and 15,

the blue tile is going behind the vanity wall the white subway tilemis around the tub wall, the white octagon is the floor i thought they were prerty basic; not sure how much plainer i could go with those tiles. also not clear on how its too many tiles (?) , other than using a rectangle shape for the floor instead of an octagon. im open to hear about tile choices

the doible vanity will be a 30 or 33 in height countertop will be a white/ grey marble or quartz .

IMO the vanity needs to be chosen depending on wetehr you go vessel or undermont sink and I still need to know the counter choice. IMO a 12x24 porcelain tile on bathroom floors and shower walls keeps grout to a min. a darker color is best so no white grout and then if you love those blue tiles use them for an accent in the shower and for the backspalsh. I do not think girls that age will be into the work of all those grout lines and white grout also FYI I rarely like a kids bathroom also serving guests but sometimes that can't be helped. Right now with the counter top I would not use the blue tiles they tie into nothing so just some random tile on the wall makes no sense. Since thre is gray in the counter a nice light gray porcelain tile with gray grout and be done use the same quartz for the backsplash as the counter and then add your colr with accessories , towels and maybe a shower curtain.

I don't like vessel sinks at all.

sorry… realized the vessel sink didnt post . its called iice and descirbed as clear glass with a light blue tint; even though it look a bit if dark grey in web pic

the blue accent tile does have a light grey marbling in it if toy look closely its a glass mosaic tile with varying shades of light blue, light grey, and white. it looks very pretty with what will be the vanity top

thenfloor and wall tiles are white, so im not understandong how ” the blue tiles tie into nothing“ . how can a blue/ white/ and grey nosaoc tile not tie into and work with solid white tiles? i have found that trying to find a tile in one of the shades of the mosiac tile is maddening. they are always off iin color.

i personally hate the look of dark grout with white tiles. it looks grungy and dirty to me. would not consoder that. some peope may liikenit, but its not my style.

as for guest/ kids bath, there really isnt mich we can do about that, as this is how our home is set up. weve been here for 9 hears and neither us nor our guests have ever had an issie with it. ir works out fine.

Sometimes we get a crush on a decor idea that isn't going to work with our lifestyle or home.

I had a glass vessel sink in my powder room and hated it. I put up with it for a couple of years and then changed it to an under mount. Negatives: 1) water spots show all the time 2) soapy water drips onto counter and leaves a mess. You need an extra cloth around to clean up the mess after every use. It looks great in a showroom or magazine but not practical at all.

Thanks elaine

you just dont like the look the look of them or is it maintence ?

Just my 2 cents. It’s a gorgeous sink. However, I think they’re a pain to keep clean. My kids had them in apartments and the countertops were always wet. The outsides of the sink were messy with soap residue and spots. They hated them. I guess it could depend on how carefully you wash, the size and height of a faucet. But with 2 teens… I’m not sure how much they’ll cooperate. It’s a beautiful piece and I see why you like it. I just think it’s impractical.

Powder room yea, guest/kids bath nay. If someone drops a bottle on the edge, it can easily chip. I think such highly decorative items are best for powder rooms….or choose a more practical vessel, such as a rectangular porcelain sink by Kohler etc….easier for kids, too.

Thanks for the feedback oreet

very good points and appreicate ti coming from experience with having one.

thank you P banos. I’m not stuck on an idea at all. i thought the sink looked pretty, but as OREET pointed out, they may look nicer than they actually function.

that is why i posed the quesiron; to get feedback about if people like them or not and why.

if majority had good experience with them, did the vessel style sink that i i saw , work with the tiles i am considering.

so far, a couple people have not had positive things to say about having one, so that is helpful to know and appreicated.

Thank you corey. your comments are very helpful appreciate it!

Thank tou CT yankee. thanks for sharing your experience with them seems to be a trend foming where it mat look pretty, but high maintenance . points well taken 😊 appreocaite it

For two sinks, you should have a minimum 72" vanity. Putting two vessel sinks on a 60" vanity is one too many. It is going to look crowded, even more so because the sinks sit on the counter instead of below it.

The finished height of the cabinet has to sit lower (36:" minus the height of vessel) so you lose storage space inside the cabinet because the cabinet box has to be shorter.. The plumbing for two sinks kills 2x the storage space inside the cabinet.

With vessel sinks, you can't just sweep detritus into the sink and wash down the drain.

OK for a dedicated guest bathroom; not so OK for day to day life. Regressive; only 1/2 step up from the days of wash bowls & pitchers.

you just dont like the look the look of them or is it maintence ?

- Both. I don't care for the look of a vessel sink, AND I wouldn't want the additional maintenance that comes with the style.

- I like the blue tile and think it would look great behind the vanity. That tile on the wall and the white tile on the floor would look nice; however, I'm not sold on tile for bathroom floors. It's cold to the foot, glass items dropped will break or will break the tile (okay, that's more of a kitchen thing), and it's hard on the knees and back. I'd go with simple sheet linoleum or engineered wood ... warmer to the foot, a dropped item won't break, and it's kinder to the body. If damaged, either of those are inexpensive and easy to replace.

- If you go with the tile, I'd rather see white grout with white tile ... it's more of a solid look rather than a pattern. But it is harder to keep clean.

I have a vessel sink and love it. But is a Vigo white matte stone sink so is much easier to keep clean. On a 32" high vanity. (I'm short)

All excellent insight and comments . appreciate all the info

i think vessel sinks are out of consideration for a number of reasons ive heard so far. excellent point about the banity size; ci- lantro. i am using a 60 inch for sure. Wash bowl and pitcher 😂 funny…..

Mrs pete, thank you , i hear you and others regarding maintenance . seems to be a common issue many mentioend .

as for the tile, i am opposed to linoleum and engineered wood in the bathroom i will definatley do a tile of some type and shape , in white with white grout .

My cousin once had a glass sink "explode" and break into a million pieces and she was trapped barefoot in a room full of glass having just exited the shower. A undermount would be more reliable and easier to keep clean. A safer choice for a bathroom than glass.

Yikes!!! exploding sink?? thats very scary

nope- not a fan of glass vessel sinks.

Funny… i never rralized how loathed vessrl sinks were 😂 i never gave them much thought

truly apprrviste everyones input

Maybe Ms Colette should read this thread regarding glass vessel sinks, apparently my cousin was not the only one to have this happen to her. Yes, it was a scary situation, her husband had to carry her out of the bathroom after putting shoes on. Good luck with your remodel!

We have vessel sinks in our rental, and yes: hard to keep clean and splash all over the place. We are putting all regular sinks in our new house.

thank you!! i think the vessel sink is off the consideration list for good. lol

Hu8- holy smokes!! inread that article snd that is INSANE!! i have never heard if something like that - just horrific i am glad she wasnt injured severly.

thank you for sharing this info

very scary and bizarre thing to happen . who woukd ever think?!!

No unless it's just for looks

I jist read aboutnwhy thsinwiudl happen . apparently has someting to do with tiny cracks in the glass that are not visible. since the glass is tempered, it explodes as you described, as opposed to iust fully cracking and breaking off.

umbeleivable!! learn something everyday

Nay for the one you selected but there are other ones out there. I think ”impracticality” isn’t completely out the window in your case. I have a very wide sink in my kids’ bathroom that is integrated with the countertop and it still gets messy. I put two ceramic matte white vessel sinks in my master bathroom and the curved rectangular shapes bring me joy every time I see them. They are beautiful to look at, like a piece of art. Don’t let the naysayers discourage you.

Thank you. glad you have a good experience with it. it sounds bery oretty what you’re describing

i’m not hung up on having a vesel sink. i jiust saw that one, thought it was very pretty and unique, but im confident i will stick with an undermoint now based on majority of peope not having much luck with them .

That’s too bad, but I get it. A beauitful countertop material will dress up the boring practicality of an undermount sink. No offense but that’s what undermounts are. :)

Lol…. no offense taken i completely understand what you mean. i feel that way as well, whcih is why the vessel csught my eye. they are pretty and unique ; no argument there.

i will have what i think is a very pretty glass mosaic wall behind the vanity, so that will most likely be the statement in the room , and divertt attention away from the run of the mill undermount sink 😉

I love that blue "Swish" tile. Nobody will notice the sink with that.

I may be an adult but I'm too short for any vessel sink I've ever tried to wash my face in. :)

Not all vessel sinks are bowl sinks. There are a ton of lower profile ones. This is similar to my set up. ❤️

Thank you fori i really fell in love with the tile when i saw it. i hopenit will tun out nice. just trying to oick floor and tun wall tiles now.

launer , thats a vey pretty style. glad it working well for you; it must look really nice in the bathroom. unique shape

I love the blue tile selection! Its a big nay from me, the splashing and water all over (that we all know that the kids will ignore) is the reason. Keep your bathroom easier to clean for your own sanity. Good luck

Thanks M ritz yep.. your words seems to be the resounding opinion of many LOL

ill admire it from online pics and keep mine an undermount that easy to clean

I rather like vessel sinks although most of our clients prefer surface mount or undermount. That being said, I'm not so fond of the one you have posted. It looks a bit fragile even though it may not be. If you were to wind up choosing a vessel sink I would select one that has a more substantial feel to it.

Kohler Vox is a great option

Thanks for the input norwood and corey

ive crossed off a vessel sink. i know a few people me tioned they didnt like the one i was considering, but i really think its gorgeous looks like a piece of jewelry. it was very unique looking , which is what i liked about it Ive never really been drawn to the look of a standard vessel sink. I dont hate the look, but nothing special about it to me. If inwere to do a vesssel, id want one like the one i picked, but , for many reasons stated by others, ive discounted it

I have had to use hotel bathrooms with vessel sinks. Yes, they look lovely but are such a pain. If you are short, the sides bang into your arms when you’re rinsing your face. I am not familiar with the cleaning issues but I can assure you they’re impracticality makes them a bad choice. They hog too much useful countertop space, which in a bathroom for 2 children is essential. Agree that for a powder room, they’re a statement piece, but for every day life, they’re a big “no”.
