Self-rimming basins are available in a complete range of sizes and decorative shapes, and with a choice of faucet drillings.
Pedestal sinks are available in styles ranging from contemporary to Victorian. They work very well when used in small areas. Pedestals have a generous bowl, but don't offer much sink decking or storage. If you choose a pedestal with a stylized leg, you may want to consider a matching toilet.
Freestanding basins or vessels always make a bold design statement. However, the faucet you choose must have a spout that is long and high enough to reach the bowl, or you may consider a wall-mounted faucet. Freestanding basins are also usually made without an overflow, so they must be fitted with a grid drain.
Wall-mount and semi-recessed basins (basins that are partially exposed and mounted onto a cabinet) keep the floor area open when space is at a premium.
