A wall mounted stone sink is a basin and counter carved as one piece that bolts directly to the wall, leaving the floor below open. Designers call it a floating stone sink because nothing visibly supports it. More than 90 designs are listed here, nearly all in marble with a smaller travertine group, and all are made in Turkey.
These pieces belong to the natural stone sinks range but behave differently from bowls or drop-ins. The sink is the vanity: it includes the basin, the deck for a faucet or soap, and often a carved backsplash, so there is no separate counter to buy.
Why Go Floating: Space, Cleaning and Look
- Floor space. With no cabinet, a narrow bath looks wider and the floor is easy to mop underneath.
- Adjustable height. You choose the mounting height, which helps tall users or an accessible bath.
- One-piece stone. No seams between counter and basin means fewer places for grime to collect.
- Trade-off. You lose under-sink storage, so plan a mirror cabinet, shelf or niche nearby.
Wall Mounted Marble Sink or Travertine?
Marble makes up close to 90% of the collection. A wall mounted marble sink gives the most choice in color: Calacatta Viola with purple veins, Carrara-type white, Tundra gray, black, Verde green and the red Rosso Levanto. The purple-veined pieces are also gathered under Calacatta Viola sinks, and the wider material page for marble sinks covers bowls and pedestals too.
A wall mounted travertine sink is warmer and more rustic, usually in beige tones with a honed face. Travertine is a porous limestone that is filled before finishing; it is slightly softer than marble but forgiving of small marks.
Fronts, Backsplashes and Hidden Drains
Most pieces here are rectangular, and the design detail is in the front and back. Common features include:
- Fluted or ribbed fronts, carved in vertical channels for a modern, architectural look. The ribbed designs have their own page, fluted marble sinks.
- Integrated backsplash, a raised stone back that protects the wall and can hold a wall-mount faucet.
- Hidden or slot drains, where water runs to a concealed channel instead of a visible round drain.
- Double basins on wider units for shared bathrooms, plus a few apron, trough and corner pieces.
Common Widths and Where They Fit
Listed sizes cluster around 16x24, 12x18, 14x18, 16x32, 30x16 and 48x20 inches. A floating marble sink in a powder room is usually 12 to 18 inches wide so the door clears it. A 24-inch unit is the standard single-user size, 30 to 32 inches gives generous counter room, and 48-inch pieces usually carry two basins or one long trough. Measure the finished wall width, leave space for towel bars and check that the sink does not block a light switch or outlet.
Wall Prep and Installation Notes
- Add blocking. Solid stone is very heavy. Before drywall or tile goes up, add horizontal lumber blocking between studs at the bracket height.
- Use the right brackets. Follow the mounting hardware listed for the sink and anchor into wood or masonry, never drywall alone.
- Plan the plumbing. The trap shows underneath, so use a chrome or brass bottle trap and set the drain stub-out and supply lines at the correct height.
- Pick the faucet location. Decide on a deck faucet or a wall-mount spout before the wall closes; a wall spout needs an in-wall valve.
- Set the height. Most rims sit 32 to 34 inches above the floor; adjust for the users.
Comparing With Pedestal and Vessel Options
A pedestal sink also skips the cabinet, but its column takes floor space and hides less plumbing than you might think. A countertop bowl from stone vessel sinks is cheaper and simpler to install but needs a vanity. A wall-hung piece sits between the two: cleaner floor, more counter space than a pedestal and a strong architectural look.
Price Ranges for Wall-Hung Pieces
Prices are per sink. They start a little over $500, the middle half runs from roughly $1,100 to about $2,000, and a typical design is near $1,600. The largest double and trough models reach about $3,700. These cost more than bowls because each piece is cut from a large block that includes the basin, deck and backsplash.
Wall Mounted Stone Sinks FAQ
Is a floating marble sink good for a powder room?
It is a strong choice. A compact 12 to 18 inch model leaves floor space in a tight room, and light guest use keeps wear on the marble low.
How much weight does the wall need to hold?
A solid stone basin weighs far more than a ceramic one, and wider units are heavier still. Always anchor into blocking or masonry and check the weight listed for your model before choosing brackets.
Can I use a deck faucet with a marble sink wall mount design?
Many pieces have a deck area with or without a faucet hole, while others are designed for a wall spout above the basin. Check the listing for the faucet hole before buying the faucet.
Do wall-hung stone sinks need sealing?
Yes. Seal marble and travertine before first use and every six to twelve months, and clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner to avoid etching.
What height should a wall mounted sink be?
Most are set with the rim about 32 to 34 inches from the floor. Go higher for tall users or lower for children or accessible baths; the advantage of wall mounting is that you choose.
