Wall-Mount vs. Pedestal Sinks
Your first home remodeling project of 2021 is buying a new bathroom sink. Perhaps it leaks too often, so while getting new pipework, you decided an updated sink was in order too. Maybe the sink has become discolored from years or use, it’s way out-of-date, or it hogs up precious room in your bathroom.
No matter what’s motivating you to change out your sink this year, you have a decision to make. What type of sink is best for your bathroom? You might like wall-mounted sinks or maybe you’re more of a pedestal sink person, but you can only have one.
How do you choose? In today’s post, that’s exactly what we’ll help you do.
Wall-Mount Sink Pros
Your first of the two options is a wall-mounted sink. As you might have inferred, these sinks are installed against a wall without touching the floor. This creates the illusion that your sink is floating. A wall-mounted sink also opens up valuable floor space in your bathroom, something which is integral if this room is smaller.

Wall-Mount Sink Cons
One major downside of wall-mount sinks is that they’re sparse on storage space. You get what you can fit on the sink and that’s it.
Pedestal Sink Pros
Pedestal sinks are named such because it looks like the sink’s basin is attached to a pedestal. Typically one long, singular piece, pedestal sinks can add sophistication to any bathroom.

Pedestal Sink Cons
Pedestal sinks, as beautiful as they are, do have some downsides. You’re often limited on storage space since a pedestal sink contains no medicine cabinet. The biggest problem with a pedestal sink though is how much room this fixture takes up. If you have a small bathroom, cramming a pedestal sink in there can make the room feel cramped.
