We actually have a wall hung sink now in our rental. We have adapted to not having counter space and I am thinking about having tiled niches put in above the sinks as well as recessed medicine cabinets. It's definitely not ideal. But this bathroom will be 6 1/2 by 8 1/2 feet (and that's after annexing a closet) with two doors (long story) and a window. So ideal isn't happening. Lol. But, the wall mount sink we have right now is substantially bigger, at least from front to back. So that part has me worried. I just don't know in what ways that might be problematic for a master bath. . . . Thank you for the feedback!

Talk to the company or the product seller. The lever vs. handle issue is hte right one. We have lever handles and the faucets turn in opposite directions for off, both for the wall mounted (shower) and the sink mounted ones. All it should take is a valve swap-out. In fact, I had our shower faucet valves swapped because the levers swung down instead of up to go on, which seemed extremely odd to me. Put more simply, any faucet has two types of valves possible: clockwise off and counterclockwise off. You just have to pick the right one for what you want, given your handles etc.

I like the idea of gold pendants, I've been toying with that idea myself! However, I'm not sure how I feel about mixing finishes on light fixtures if there are other fixtures in the same vicinity. Have you thought about using the Antique copper?

I don't know if they are a waning trend or not. I chose them, not because of how they looked, but because of my frustration at having to try to keep the areas around traditionally mounted faucets clean - for so many years. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a sink mount or counter mount a 3 piece or one piece, I always got water scum (and I live in a soft water area) that eventually couldn't be fully cleaned and I hated it. I love, love, love my wall mount. If my hands are gooey, soapy, or wet, I can turn on the faucet with my wrist or elbow, etc.
