If you’re a first time renovator, you might be somewhat surprised by the amount of options to choose from when it comes to appliances and accessories on the market today. With your sights set on a new bathroom, you may be overwhelmed with the many different types to choose from in particular. Choosing the right one is easier when you know all about these types, each of which presents its own share of aesthetic and practical benefits. Let’s delve into bathroom basins, giving you an overview to make a decision about what to buy sooner rather than later. 

Different Bathroom Basin Types

There are many different bathroom basin types to explore, including counter top, under-counter, drop-in, pedestal, semi-recessed, wall-hung (or mounted) and floor standing basins. Wall-mounted are good for smaller spaces, leaving room to utilise the space underneath. Pedestal basins are a classic choice and one of the most common options for inexperienced buyers looking to make a quick decision. Counter-top basins are popular too, albeit typically more expensive than most of the other types as a result of the installation costs. If none of these tickle your fancy, explore the full list before sourcing different quotes for the project. 

How to Choose a Good Fit

When you’re out to buy a new basin, there are a few important factors that can help you narrow down the search. Bathroom size is very important, as not all basins will be practical in small spaces. The height of the basin is important too, as well as whether you have sufficient room to mount it. Don’t forget to think about the taps you’re after, as a specific type might not be suited to the basin you have your eye on. Lastly, take into account the purpose of the space, over and above the basics like brushing teeth, shaving, putting on makeup. It’s easier to ask for advice during any renovation when you know what your intention is with the space. 

Pre-Curated Design Options

You may even want to explore a couple of pre-curated design ideas, like those we’ve put together based on what our clients have chosen over the years. Drom duravit and steel to Victoria & Albert and metro tiled alternatives, you may find exactly what you’re looking for in what our team has put together already. If not, it’s possible to draw inspiration from these ideas, which may inspire your creativity and help you drill down into exactly what you’re after, considering the practical considerations we mentioned earlier too.
