20 Pedestal Sink Backsplash Ideas to Blend Classic and Modern Looks
Adding pedestal sink backsplash ideas to your bathroom is an important decision because the design you choose usually pulls the entire room together. If you also love pedestal sinks and plan to incorporate one into your next remodel, then this post is definitely for you. Though the bathroom is generally one of the smallest rooms in the house, loads of elements go into creating its style. Unlike a bedroom, where your choices are limited to wall color, bedspreads, carpet, and decorations, you must choose both durable and functional materials for a bathroom, plus match appliances to walls, tiling, and light fixtures. Here we give you ultimate combinations of cool backsplashes and classic pedestal sinks for some amazing inspirations.
