Bring Organic Designs to the Bathroom with Swanstone Vanity Tops and Bowls

ST. LOUIS - No matter how much home design changes through the decades, there will always be one spot still designated for privacy: the bathroom. But today, bathrooms have moved beyond just functional privacy and are becoming luxurious escapes from the chaos of everyday life. Homeowners are willing to pay a little (or a lot) extra to assure that they can find tranquility, comfort or just a little peace and quiet in their bathrooms.

Swanstone's Contra Vanity Top

HGTV recently published its list of "Top 10 Trends for Kitchens and Baths for 2007." Among the top trends was the "Oh-so Organic Design" of curvy counters and round bathroom bowls. Instead of sharp, angular corners, fixtures now flow more seamlessly, creating a more natural traffic pattern and serene atmosphere.

Swanstone's Hilo Vanity Bowl (TRI-1815 HL) offers a clean-lined, European look that fits seamlessly into the flow of the bathroom sanctuary. The Hilo is incredibly versatile--it can be installed as a vessel bowl that sits above the countertop, as a drop in that sits on top of the countertop, or as an undermount sink, flush with the countertop. "Solid surface sinks have become very popular because of the many ways you can customize them," said Massoud Salessi, Vice President of Sales. "Swanstone offers 33 colors--from Artic White to Tahiti Blue and many shades in between. Since the color and texture run all the way through the material, it will not wear away, making these sinks among the most durable you can buy."

HGTV also points to the "minimalist, sleek shapes" taking the place of the popular "shabby chic" styles that dominated home and especially bath décor over the past few years. Designers are now looking for understated sinks and faucets that are functional, but blend into the décor quietly and tastefully.

Swanstone's Contra Vanity Tops offer a variety of sink and countertop combinations with a sleek, contemporary design that fits subtly but functionally into modern décor. The sink fits seamlessly into the countertop, either in the same solid surface design or in a contrasting design. Choose from 29 solid surface colors for the vanity top and four bowl colors, or mix and match as desired to create a custom look. In addition to customizing the sink combination, you can also customize the countertop edge, choosing from one of three decorative edge options, including Roman Ogee, Bead or Bevel designs.
