Choosing The Perfect Bathroom Basin
You may be forgiven for thinking that choosing the perfect bathroom basin is easy.
After all, it’s kind of a small element within the grand scheme of your bathroom – or is it?
There are a few things to consider when choosing this all-important piece.
Don’t worry, we’re here to help! We’ve got loads of inspo AND expert tips on how to make a perfect choice…

Single or Double Basins
One of the first choices you will need to make is, are you going with single or double bathroom basins? This can be one of the trickiest decisions because we all love the idea of a luxurious bathroom with double sinks right? But sometimes it’s just not possible. There are many factors here, the size of the bathroom, cost, and function to name a few. But rest assured, single bathroom basins will still give you a high functioning bathroom or ensuite.
The most important thing here, is to be realistic about what you can achieve in the available space. Double basins may look overwhelming in a small ensuite, while a single basin sink might look underwhelming in a generous family sized main bathroom.
Bench Top VS Under Mount
You might already know what option you are leaning towards, so this is really just a matter of personal taste, and the overall style you’re going for.
If you are looking for a minimal, sleek design, then you are probably in favour of the under-mount bathroom basin. There are many benefits to this mounting option:
Minimal look and feel
Cleaning is easy
More benchtop space
Or maybe you prefer the look of the benchtop mounted bathroom basin. Come on, what’s not to love!
An extra design element to showcase
More cost-effective to install
Lots of styles/colours/materials to choose from
It can become the showstopper of the space
