Vessel Sink vs. Undermount: Which is Best for Your Bathroom Remodel?

Introduction
Choosing a bathroom sink is one of the most impactful design decisions in any home renovation. As the focal point of your vanity, the sink sets the tone for the entire room’s aesthetic. But should you go with a trendy, eye-catching Vessel Sink or a classic, seamless Undermount Basin? At Saxum Furniture, with over 10 years of experience in home design, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners find their perfect match. Let’s break down the pros and cons.

The Case for Vessel Sinks: The Statement Piece
Vessel sinks sit proudly atop the counter, resembling a piece of functional art.

• Aesthetic Appeal: They provide a high-end, designer look that works perfectly with Modern Farmhouse, Industrial, or Japandi styles.

• Ease of Installation: Unlike undermounts, vessel sinks only require a small hole for the drain, meaning you don't need to perform complex, expensive countertop cutouts.

• Ergonomic Height: Because they sit higher on the vanity, they are often more comfortable for taller individuals, reducing the need to lean over excessively.

The Case for Undermount Sinks: The Practical Classic
Undermounts are installed beneath the counter, creating a continuous transition from the vanity top to the basin.

• Easy Cleaning: You can wipe water and debris directly into the sink without catching on a rim. It’s the gold standard for low-maintenance living.

• Maximizing Counter Space: By hiding the rim, these sinks provide a clean, uncluttered look that never goes out of fashion.

The Saxum Quality Difference: Premium Triple-Glazed Ceramic
Regardless of the style you choose, the material is what determines longevity. Saxum sinks are crafted from high-density, triple-glazed ceramic.
