Question of the Week: Are Above-Counter Sinks Over?

Posted by Vanessa Monday, September 20, 2010 10:22 AM

My parents are in the process of renovating their bathroom and so I have been privy to many discussions on counter tops, faucets and sinks. Ultimately they chose to go with a built-in, recessed sink. I think they made the right decision. Plumbing-wise, it's a lot more reliable and less likely to leak. Style-wise, I think it's the more sophisticated way to go and of course, it's pretty much impossible for it to fall out of fashion.

What do you think? Do you have above-counter sinks? What are their downfalls or why are the better?

In the right house, with the right sink and the right decor, they are still great. But putting them in for the sake of them being "different" in a house or a room that doesn't suit it is pointless.

I have one. Our place is new, so I hope not, but I am kind of ambivalent anyways... the washroom is not what I would have chosen if I got to design it from scratch, but i don't completely hate it either.

I feel many are quite sytlish however I do feel they may have seen their day namely for the reasons you given plus I question their practicality in a household that has children.  If anything, I think the new trend in the future will be sinks with shallower basins.
