Experts agree that the basin is one of the easiest ways to give your bathroom a makeover. There are so many new styles available that you can transform your bathroom with just one piece of furniture.
Choosing and installing a new bathroom basin can be a bit daunting. There are several things you should keep in mind to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.
- First and foremost, take an honest look at your bathroom space. If you have limited space, a grandiose marble countertop will not be your most practical option.
- Take into consideration the location of the toilet, shower bath and cabinets. You don’t want to overcrowd the area.
This is the perfect time to re-analyse storage space. Are you in need of extra shelving or is extra floor space more of a necessity? A cabinet basin can provide you with an extra alcove to store towels, beauty products or whatever other items may be crowding your shower and limited shelving. However a pedestal basin will provide you with what may be needed floor space.
Once you have chosen what kind of cabinetry you need, you will be able to choose the type of basin that fits your needs. If you choose a basin pedestal you may want to consider extra shelving or a medicine cabinet. However if a basin pedestal is not for you a console basin or washbasin may give the appearance of more space.
You will also have to decide how you want to mount your basin. An under-mount basin gives a sleek look, it is easy to clean and maximizes available counter space. Marble, Granite and Wood are the ideal materials for this type of installation. If you are installing the basin yourself, a top mounted basin is the
easiest to install. An elegant option is the basin mounted on top of a pedestal or stand.
Don’t overlook bathroom basin hardware. The taps are as essential to the overall design as the basin itself. Pick out a bathroom tap that goes with the basin and the general style that you are going for. Also pay attention to height. You want a tap that is long and high enough to reach the basin, but you do not want it to be too high, causing the water to splatter when it hits the basin.
