Vessel sinks go back to the time before indoor plumbing, when washing up meant going over to the vanity table in the corner of the room, pouring some water from a pitcher into a bowl, and washing up before sitting down to a meal or just freshening up after waking.
Fortunately, today there is indoor plumbing, and vessel sinks serve more than just a functional purpose. Most are now pieces of art that transform an ordinary bathroom or powder room into a showplace, with the sink being at the very center of the exhibit.
Zen-like Serenity
A Zen-like style of décor reflects harmony and simplicity. Just because something is white or black, that doesn't mean it has to be boring. Vessel sinks in the traditional round or even rectangular shape made from Travertine or other natural stones fit in nicely with Zen-themed bathrooms, and the very basic colors of black and white can transform an ordinary bathroom into a tranquil masterpiece.
Imagine a mahogany or cherry wood vanity with a black marble or onyx vessel sitting atop it, with fountain fixtures providing a water source. Water glides into the bowl with the sound of nature and brings a serene calm to your morning.
Conversely, a white limestone bowl on a black wood or lacquer pedestal stand with bamboo faucet fixtures, along with green accents in the form of bamboo plants situated about the room brings serenity to this most private space.
Achieving a quiet atmosphere by design can give a calming debut to any day, regardless of the time it begins.
Contemporary Art Scene
The guest bathroom is one of the first places friends and family will see in any new home. Making that small room a showplace is an easy feat when the designs utilize the colorful creations on the market today in the way of glass vessel sinks in nearly any color glass, from clear to the deepest of hues, in an array of styles, from round or oval to square and rectangular to fit your home's particular décor theme. Glass and metal pedestals with contemporary fixtures round out the exciting new look. Custom glass sinks can be created to accommodate nearly any color, size or style a decorator can fathom.
Nature's Elegant Balance
On the higher end of the scale, the homeowner may want to consider choosing a sink made from one of many semi-precious stones to bring the bathroom to a whole new level of elegance. Manufacturers allow their customers to choose from such gemstones as Amber, Turquoise, Amethyst, Lapis, Azurite, or Red Jasper, to name a few. These particular sinks come in the traditional round bowl design as well as non-traditional free-formed shapes for a more natural look to coordinate with the master or guest bathroom in any home.
Today there are as many different designs of vessel sinks as there are materials they are made out of, making it easier for any new homeowner, designer or remodeler to find the perfect fit.

Ideas for indoor zen garden?
I will be getting a small apartment and I want it to have a cute zen garden. I already have bamboo. What else can I do?
Put in a sand area with a rake and a few smooth pebbles. A water feature would also be nice.
