Choosing a Bathroom Vessel Faucet from Water Flow. One of the most popular choices in bathroom vessel faucets is the waterfall vessel faucet. Single-handle and double-handle models are both options, but you’ll also need to choose between high- and low-profile designs.

Choosing a Bathroom Vessel Faucet
There are plenty of bathroom vessel faucets available in nearly all of the designs that ordinary bathroom faucets are available in. Single-handle and double-handle models are both options, but you’ll also need to choose between high- and low-profile designs (a decision that is normally dictated by your choice of vessel sink, so again, it’s important that you know the type of sink you want before you buy the faucet):
High-profile vessel faucets. High-profile vessel faucets are affixed to the sink on longer stands so that they extend overtop of sinks that are a true bowl shape. They may also have noticeably arced stems, which bring the water flow inside the bowl to avoid splashing.
Low-profile vessel faucets. Low-profile vessel faucets are great choices for vessel sinks that aren’t very deep. They are slightly raised so they can still reach over the lip of the vessel sink, but are not nearly as tall as high-profile facets. Their stems are typically straighter, rather than arced, as well, to avoid raising their height too far beyond the height of the sink.

Vessel Faucet Flow
The elegant design of both the vessel sink and faucet is often enhanced when you see water flow from one to the other. Many vessel faucets are designed to flow water into the sink as if you were pouring it from a larger dish. Others offer a streamlined flow like that from a garden hose, which has a more subtle impact.
One of the most popular choices in vessel faucets is the waterfall vessel faucet. These faucets spread water out across a larger distance than ordinary faucets, and release it in a steady stream, giving it the appearance of a waterfall. This look works well for both high and low-profile faucets.

You’ve no doubt seen the latest trend in elegant and modern bathroom décor – the vessel faucet and vessel sink. Together, these two plumbing accessories produce a striking look that will make your bathroom the envy of your guests.
A vessel sink is essentially a bowl that sits on top of a counter or vanity, where traditional sinks are typically recessed. These sinks are available in numerous designs and materials, from granite and marble to glass and metal. It’s common to choose the sink you like first and then find vessel faucets that match, as vessel sinks are available in different sizes.
