How To Choose Your Perfect Vanity Basin

Choosing the perfect vanity basin can be a fun yet overwhelming task. With so many styles, sizes, and materials available, it's easy to feel lost in the sea of options. Whether you're revamping your bathroom or building a new one, here’s a handy guide to help you navigate the process and find a basin that complements your space perfectly.

 

1. Consider Your Space

 

Before diving into the fun aesthetics, take a good look at your bathroom. How much space do you have to work with? Measure the area where you plan to install the vanity basin. If you have a smaller bathroom, you might want to consider a compact basin like the Mini Villastone Cervo Basin that doesn’t compromise on style. If space isn’t an issue, you could go for a more substantial piece that makes a statement like the Lamone 530 Concrete Basin.

 

2. Explore Styles

 

When it comes to vanity basins, style is everything. The right basin can tie together your entire bathroom’s look. Here are a few popular styles to consider:

 

Vessel Basins: Perfect for a modern aesthetic, these sit on top of the counter and can be found in a variety of unique shapes and sizes.

Drop-In Basins: A classic choice, these basins drop into a pre-cut hole in the countertop.

 

Think about the overall theme of your bathroom and choose a style that complements it.

 

3. Think About Material and Texture

 

The material of your vanity basin can drastically affect not only the look but also the durability and maintenance of the basin. Here are some commonly used materials:

 

Ceramic: Durable and easy to clean, ceramic is a versatile choice that comes in a range of finishes.

Porcelain: Similar to ceramic but with a glossy finish, making it resistant to stains and scratches.

Villastone: For a luxurious feel, basins made from villastone are not only stunning but also incredibly durable and come in a range of colours.

Concrete: For a modern design and long lasting durability, basins made of concrete make a statement piece while providing texture. 

 

Choose a material that fits your lifestyle—if you're short on time for cleaning, you might want to avoid porous stones.

 

4. Determine the Size and Configuration

 

Beyond just size in terms of measurements, pay attention to the depth and width of the basin. You want something that is proportional to your vanity and doesn’t feel cramped. Additionally, consider the basin mixer configuration. Will it be a wall or vanity mounted, single or double basin? Is there a specific type of mixer you want to pair with it? Make sure your selections work together.

 

5. Don’t Forget About the Extras

 

Finally, think about the little details that can enhance your vanity basin experience. Do you need a pop-up waste or an overflow feature? Think about how you'll use the space around the basin too—will you need extra storage, or perhaps some stylish accessories like a soap dispenser to complete the look?

 

Conclusion

 

Choosing the perfect vanity basin doesn’t have to be stressful. By considering your space, exploring styles, thinking about materials, colour and texture, you'll be well-equipped to make an informed choice that you’ll love for years to come.
