Basins can be a real statement piece in a bathroom, there’s a few key things to consider when making a basin choice: know your style, know your measurements, know your tap configuration, know what you’re coordinating it with, and know who’s using it to do what.
Makeup can stain basins. Kids struggle to reach high basins. Your favourite basin and favourite tapware aren’t always a match made in heaven.
These things can affect your basin decision. On the bright side, we have a variety of basin options, so you can choose the right one for you!
Boldly positioned above the counter or vanity, these create a wonderful centrepiece or statement in your bathroom. This style of basin will need wall-mounted or tall/tower basin mixers. Be mindful of how the basin would sit when combined with your benchtop or vanity. You don’t want it too high for shorter users.
Inset basins are partially mounted into the counter with the majority visible at the top. This allows space for storage under the counter or vanity.
Semi-recessed basins are installed partly into the counter with part of the basin protruding to the front of the benchtop. This is a good solution where you have limited bench space, allowing a relatively large basin to be installed on a smaller counter. Like the self-rimming and under-counter, a space will need to be cut out from the counter to the exact dimensions of the basin.
These basins hang off the wall in your bathroom. This works well with minimalist style or smaller bathrooms. Just keep in mind, you will likely need additional structural support in the wall to hold the weight of the basin. They also work best if your wastewater goes to the wall, not the floor.
This is a basin that is installed under a countertop for a very neat, classic look. It can be easy to wipe down the bench with undermount basins, but some users find the silicone seal hard to keep clean – especially if not properly installed. You will need to work with your tradies to cut the exact shape out from your countertop. Undermount basins are usually only supported by stone or solid countertops, not laminate.
Most basins are made from china, cast bronze, brass, glass, composite stone, and quarry cast. These days even timber basins are available. Ceramic and acrylic are inexpensive and practical.
There are pros and cons for each material. For example, makeup can stain some basins. Others may give you a contemporary look but are not durable. Research your options against your needs
The most important thing is to know the size of the cut-out in your vanity and the location of your wastewater pipe and tap configurations.
Also, get the proportions right. You don’t want an enormous basin on a small vanity. You also don’t want a tiny basin on a large vanity.
This may be an opportunity to change things around – to switch from an inset basin with three-piece tapware to a countertop vessel with wall-mounted tapware. Talk to your plumber about your options as you may need to change some plumbing at a cost.
It’s tempting to search wide and pick only the things you like best. But, aim to match your basin with your bath or other features. When it comes to colour, one supplier’s shade of white is different to another supplier’s. If they’re different, they can look very strange (and disappointing) when side by side in the one room. That’s why we recommend sticking with the same manufacturer.
Consider positioning your basin to the side rather than putting it right in the centresubject to your vanity and plumbing.
You get a waste fitting as standard with most basins, but it may not match your taps. This small attention to detail can make a big difference to the cohesive design of your bathroom colouring.
