When
it comes to a new bathroom, it’s all too easy to spend most of the time
selecting a bath, shower, floor and wall coverings rather than focusing on the
wash basin. But it turns out that choosing the right basin for your bathroom is
actually more important than anyone realises – here’s why!
One Size Does Not Fit All
Don’t be one of those people who
choose a new wash basin that is too big for their bathroom. A corner basin is a
great choice for an en-suite or downstairs WC – in fact, anywhere space is at a
premium. Opt for a basin that’s the wrong shape or size and you might find
yourself unable to open or close the bathroom door properly! Do you know about

What’s Your Shape?
Oval, rectangular, round, square – you can choose any shape of basin
that you like for your new bathroom. Just as with baths, it’s important to
choose a shape that not only complements the shape and size of your bathroom
but that is also practical too. If your bathroom is small, a countertop round
or oval basin might be an excellent choice. For a more traditional bathroom
with plenty of space, a large square or double rectangular basin is ideal. Check

And Your Style?
There’s
no point installing a contemporary round basin with a modern mixer tap in a
period property – well, not if you’re installing a traditional style bathroom,
that is. Think carefully about style when you’re shopping for baths and basins,
as a mistake now could be costly later! For contemporary apartments in the
city, a countertop round or oval basin is ideal. Cosy country cottages or
period properties might want to stick with a rectangular basis with individual
hot and cold taps.
Mix it Up
Finally,
take some time to think about the type of taps you’d like to have installed
with your basin. If the idea of splashing cold water on your face in the
morning holds about as much appeal as commuting to work on a rush hour train, a
contemporary mixer tap is your best bet. For a more traditional basin,
individual hot and cold taps are ideal. You could even consider a more modern
style of individual tap if you’d rather not go down the mixer route for your
contemporary new bathroom.
Ultimately,
choosing a basin that isn’t the perfect size, shape or style for your new
bathroom can prove a costly mistake, so it’s more important than you might
think to get it right. Taking some time now to think about the type of basin
that will complement your other bathroom fittings will pay off in the long run,
resulting in the perfect bathroom!
