A bathroom vanity basin can become a focal point of a bathroom’s design or just another element of a bathroom’s design. Deciding between the two is the first step in choosing a bathroom basin.
In the past, a bathroom basin was merely a functional component of a bathroom design. But today, with all the types and designs available, they can become a real show-stopper. Selecting the right basin for your freestanding or wall-hung vanity, and overall bathroom design comes down to choosing the right type, shape, and material.
Types of Bathroom Basins
There are many types of bathroom wash basins to consider: wall-mounted basins, pedestal basins, and console basins, which include above-counter / vessel basins, inset basins, under-counter basins, and semi-recessed basins. And your choice may affect which type of bathroom vanity you can choose. Wall-mounted and pedestal basins, for instance, are standalone and don’t require a bathroom vanity, while the others do. There are also compact basins for small bathrooms, ensuites and powder rooms.
If you’re designing a contemporary bathroom, above-counter basins are a natural choice. They are modern in design and very much ‘on-trend’, as you’ll see from our current Bathroom Design Trends article.
Bathroom Basin Shape
Bathroom sinks and basins come in an array of shapes and sizes. While which you choose is totally up to your personal preference, just remember that some will be easier to clean than others.
Common bathroom basin shapes include round, oval, rectangular, and square. However, there are also variants of each shape, such as rectangular basins with curved corners. Remember, the rounder the basin or bathroom sinks, the easier it will be to clean.
Bathroom Basin Material
Bathroom basins come in many types and shapes, with many different materials used to create the perfect finish. Our bathroom sinks and basins are crafted from vitrified ceramic and vitrified china. Vitrification is an important process that helps to ensure a robust and long-lasting form. This involves firing the material at extreme temperatures to create a glass-like substance that adds strength and resilience.
