A wall hung basin is mounted directly onto the wall, creating a minimalist and space-saving solution. These basins are perfect for small bathrooms or powder rooms as they free up floor space, giving the illusion of a larger area. They work well with contemporary and modern designs, offering a clean and uncluttered look. However, they often require additional wall reinforcement for secure installation.
Best for: Small bathrooms, contemporary styles, and minimalist spaces.
An above counter basin, sits on top of the vanity or countertop. These basins make a bold statement and come in various shapes, materials, and colours, allowing for design flexibility. They provide ample depth, reducing water splashes.
Best for: Stylish, luxurious bathrooms that emphasise design and individuality.
An inset basin, also known as a drop-in basin, is partially recessed into the vanity top, with the rim sitting above the surface. This basin style is versatile, suiting both traditional and contemporary bathroom designs. It provides a balance between above counter and under counter basins, offering a stylish yet practical solution.
Best for: Versatile design aesthetics, practical usage, and easy installation.
An under counter basin is installed beneath the vanity countertop, creating a seamless look. This style is easy to clean as there are no edges or rims to collect dirt and grime. It’s a practical choice for busy bathrooms, offering a sleek and clutter-free appearance.
Best for: Modern, family-friendly, and easy-to-maintain bathrooms.
A semi recessed basin is partially embedded into the vanity, with the front edge protruding slightly. This design allows for a slimmer vanity unit while still providing a spacious basin. It’s a great option for bathrooms with limited space, as it offers easy access and doesn’t require a deep countertop.
Best for: Compact bathrooms, guest bathrooms, and accessible designs.
A freestanding basin is a statement piece that stands independently, often resembling a pedestal or sculptural element. These basins work beautifully in luxury bathrooms, adding an artistic and spa-like feel. They may require specific plumbing configurations and more floor space but create a high-end, designer look.
Best for: High-end, spacious bathrooms with a focus on aesthetics.
