What type of basin is right for your bathroom? When you come to revamp your bathroom, one of the most important parts of your plan will be the selection of a new basin. Obviously, you will need it to be functional and fit well into the space you have available, but there is no reason why it should not also be stylish. The range of bathroom suites and standalone products now available means the perfect sink to use as a focal point in your design scheme is definitely out there. Begin your search by looking what specialist online retailers have to offer, as this will give you an idea of exactly what is on the market. If you have not changed the fixtures and fittings in your family bathroom or en suite for some time, you may well be surprised by the amount of choice. You can find anything from white ceramic products to coloured glass bowls, all in a variety of shapes and sizes. Rather than just dive in and buy the first basin that catches your eye, give some thought to the look you wish to create in the room and how it will fit in with the rest of your property. If you have a slick city centre apartment, you will almost certainly want a sleek contemporary design, but should you live in a cottage, a period feel may be more appropriate. You should also think carefully about the type of basin you want, rather than just its size and shape. There is lots of choice available in the traditional pedestal style, which is fitted against the wall. Before settling on a pedestal design you like, take a look at the range of semi-countertop and undermount basins on the market. These slot into the top of a cupboard or storage unit, in the same way that a kitchen sink does, to help maximise space in small rooms. If this is the best option for your room, make sure you investigate what Bauhaus has available. The manufacturer makes a selection of sinks like this, including round bowl and large rectangular models in a classic white finish. Perhaps the most fashionable product at the minute is the vessel basin. These sit on top of a cupboard, enclosed unit or even a specially fitted shelf, with the glass or ceramic bowl almost completely exposed. The practical reason to pick a sink like this is for the storage space underneath, but just as important is that it will be an eye-catching feature in the room. The range of Ideal Standard basins features a selection of vessel models, including cube designs that look great in modern bathrooms. The manufacturer's round sinks can help to give a period feel to a room, as when fitted above wooden units they have a similar look to a bowl on a Victorian washstand. Before clicking through to the website checkout and completing the purchase of your new sink, make sure you have thought about taps. One of the big mistakes made by people revamping their bathrooms is selecting the wrong taps and spoiling the final look, so it is worth giving your choice serious consideration. If you wish to create a room with a sleek contemporary finish, take a look at the Vado taps range, as the mixers have a really modern feel. For a period style, you will be better with traditional faucets, complete with cross heads.
