Poll - pedestal sink in primary bath

[Anonymous]

We have a smallish primary bath, and I would like to add a pedestal sink - nice one with wide counters (Kohler, maybe with chrome legs if budget permits). Storage would be in the medicine cabinet.

Currently there is a very dated peach granite countertop with a dark wood vanity - no storage.

Views? Thanks!

I would go with more storage.

I personally love them. Put one in a small bath and a storage cabinet next to it. It works really well for that space.

They're classic.

Absolute no for me.

They have been out of style for a while

Plus the no storage is a big deal.

I hate them. Such a waste of space, especially in a small bathroom. Maybe one of those (ugly) belly bowls if you are really desperate for space.

No, would not like. You need storage in the primary bath.

I would never want a pedestal sink with no storage in a main bath.

Get something with storage!

That sounds pretty but the lack of storage sucks. I hate ours and will switch it out eventually.

If you can add storage built-in between the studs, then this is a good idea. Otherwise, no, because storage is a must.

I vehemently hate pedestal sinks. They are impractical and ugly.

Another no vote on pedestal sink. No storage and you can actually see the connectors. They look much cleaner in a showroom or online than they do in person.

But the biggest is the no storage. I can't imagine not having as much storage as possible in a primary bathroom. I had one in a rental and had to put all our stuff in the linen closet outside of the bathroom.

We put pedestal sinks in two of our three 1960s era bathrooms and it was a bad idea. Not only is the lack of storage a problem, but the countertop space is disappointing. We've already replaced one in a refresh and will get rid of the other when we redo that bathroom.

I have one in our powder room, but I like the storage provided under vanities in my main bathroom. Do you have a cabinet or linen closet in the bathroom where you can keep things like your hair dryer, brushes, makeup, extra TP, tampons/pads/liners, extra hair products, etc.?

Noooo don’t do it, medicine cabinets are not enough storage for a primary bath.

I love a pedestal sink and wouldn't hesitate. I'd just be clear beforehand on where you'll store larger things that don't fit in the medicine cabinet. I have a linen closet right outside my bathroom that works fine for storing cleaning stuff, TP, and towels.
