Bathroom Sinks & Basins

Real estate agents advise their clients that one of the most valuable upgrades they can make to a home is adding an updated bathroom. Homeowners don't need to put a house on the market to enjoy a newly remodeled bathroom, though. Even without a full remodeling, replacing a worn or outdated bathroom sink basin with a durable modern design gives the whole room a lift. From traditional materials and styles to the latest in contemporary designs in both pedestal and vanity mounts, Sears has a beautiful new look for any bathroom sink.

Once a kitchen staple, stainless steel sinks have made their way into the bathroom as well. The durability of metal gets a softer look with brushed or stippled finishes; other designs feature stainless steel at its polished, brilliant best for a modern edge. Sears has stainless steel sinks in pedestal, vanity-mounting and vessel styles.

Traditional porcelain gets a decidedly contemporary makeover in raised vessel shapes and slim scooped crescent designs. Porcelain offers versatility; its range of colors and shapes allows the material to look as appropriate in an airy country home as in a Manhattan loft. Sears' collection of porcelain sinks are also economical choices for those who are remodeling on a budget.

The ultimate in durability, stone carries an echo of the natural beauty of the rock from which it was quarried. Marble, onyx and granite meld sophisticated styling with the primal beauty of natural stone. Using stone for vessel sinks makes the heavy material more practical in the home as well as highlighting its textures and variations. Sears vessel sinks call to mind the ornately carved marble statues of ancient Rome or the simplicity of smooth river rock.

Another ancient material that looks entirely new is glass. Glass surpasses even porcelain in its versatility; opaque, translucent or crystal clear, glass can take on virtually any form. Transparent and translucent glass sink designs look best as vessel styles that showcase the material's optical properties. Crackle finishes and rippled designs make a glass basin even more intriguing. Sears' selection of glass sinks are tempered to stand up to everyday use, so homeowners can feel confident about using this beautiful material for such a practical purpose.

New finishing techniques make metal sinks in copper and bronze a possibility. While the green verdigris that appears on copper roofs and the dark patina that covers bronze statues may look appealing in those contexts, no one wants a sink to change its hue; modern coatings let these beautiful metals keep their luster even as a bathroom sink basin that sees everyday use.
