Pedestal Sink
The pedestal sink is a classic. This floor mounted sink is commonly found in apartments, older homes and newer homes. Like the wall hung sink, it is often used when space is tight but is elegant enough to be used as a focal point in the bathroom design when space is not an issue.

As the name suggests, these sinks mount atop a pedestal which supports it off the floor and is fastened to the wall for stability. Plumbing waste and supply lines are concealed in the pedestal.
