Your basin can be one of the most striking design features in your bathroom. With the right choice, it becomes more than just a functional element it can set the tone for your entire space.
Start by thinking about what style of basin suits your bathroom layout and aesthetic. Do you prefer a sleek countertop basin that sits proudly above the vanity, or a classic pedestal that brings timeless elegance? Maybe a wall-hung or semi-recessed option is best for maximising space in a smaller room.
And let’s not forget about tapware, your basin and taps should work together in both style and proportion. Mixing modern tapware with a traditional basin (or vice versa) can throw off your entire design, so consider how all elements will flow together.
These days, basins come in a huge variety of materials and finishes, think stone, metallic, concrete, and composite. Whether you’re after something with a bold curved edge or a super-slim profile, there’s a style to suit every taste.
When chosen thoughtfully, your basin can be more than just a necessity; it can be the centrepiece of your bathroom.
