Advantages:

Style: Nothing makes a statement in the bathroom quite like the luxury and gravitas of a vessel sink. Featuring a distinct profile that’s sophisticated, symmetrical, and seamless.

Installation: Installation is easy when you opt for a vessel sink. Since they sit on top of the vanity, you only need to cut one hole for the drain, making it much easier to stay within your budget.

Flexibility: Since vessel sinks sit on top of the vanity instead of being cut into the countertop, it’s much easier to upgrade for future renovations. The versatility of vessel sinks makes them a clear choice for anyone looking to keep costs down and style high.

Space: Vessel sinks allow for a slight increase in space for countertops. Although the sink sticks out, the added space around the vessel creates unique opportunities for pairing décor.

Disadvantages:

Durability: The exposure of vessel sinks leave them much more susceptible to chipping, cracking and damage, particularly around the edge of the basin.

Cleaning: Vessel sinks look great but unfortunately are much more difficult to clean, especially along the bottom rim of the basin where the sink attaches to the countertop. Additionally, because the vessel is exposed, stains and blemishes look much more noticeable than traditional styles of sinks. To make your life a lot easier, give yourself a generous amount of space between the back wall and your vessel to allow for easier, more convenient cleaning.

Stability: A vessel sink isn’t going to be as stable as a traditional inset because it’s fastened in place by a single hole. To add additional stability, you can consider opting for a recesses vessel sink, but we’ll talk more about that later.

Splashing: One of the most common quarrels that people have with vessel sinks is the splashing caused by their wide basin and close proximity to the faucet head. This is another problem that we’ll address later in this article, so stick around. 

Overflow: Most vessel sinks do not offer the amenity of an overflow drain and, as a result, water will drain a little slower and is more likely to overflow. Additionally, the open basin makes vessel sinks much more prone to splashing.

Vessel sinks certainly have their own pros and cons. If you’re considering installing one in your own home but you’re worried about some of the shortcomings, then maybe the best place for your vessel sink would be in a low-traffic bathroom or a powder room where it’s less likely to take damage or overflow.
