You can shun a bath for a shower; you might be able to make do without vanity units and cabinets, but every bathroom needs a basin. Fortunately for us, the days of the all encompassing one-design- fits-all utilitarian basin are long gone. Now shopping for bathroom basins is more like shopping for art. It’s not just about the function; form is king. Just tap ‘bathroom basin’ into any search engine (no pun intended), pop along to your local showroom, or better yet, take a gander at our links to some of the best bathroom basin stockists in the UK.
Whether you favour wall hung basins, pedestal basins, corner basins, counter top or under counter basins (for reasons of space or aesthetics), we’ve got links to some beautiful exemplars of the best of the best. And it’s not just the shapes of the basins that have changed to meet consumer demands; these days there’s more to basins than classic white ceramic…
Basins are available in ceramic, stone and glass, all designed to meet very exacting aesthetic requirements and blend beautifully into any bathroom space. Whether it’s a warm, cosy bathroom (designed with an eye on supreme comfort and languorous indulgence) or a contemporary aesthetic (full of clean lines and minimalist features) we can point you to the right basins for every bathroom.
In line with the increased choice of finishes, customers can enjoy a much wider range of sizes too. So even if space is at a premium, you can buy a scaled down bathroom basin or a wall hung basin, both of which are designed to fit snugly into place with a minimum of fuss and a minimum of lost space. And if the walls are closing in on your smallest room, you can choose from a fine selection of wall mounted basins, complete with integrated ledges, giving you additional storage space for toiletries without making you feel hemmed in.
Perhaps the best thing about choosing your perfect bathroom basin is simply that it’s down to individual preference (and very little else.) It’s not like choosing a shower (based on the mixer, pumps or output); space saving concerns aside, all you have to do is pick the right basin for your bathroom. So go mad. Indulge yourself. Choose a basin that does more for your bathroom than sit there waiting to be used.
A quick scan through our bevy of basins amply demonstrates that they’re not just manufactured to exacting standards; they’re designed to equally exacting standards. If you’ve spent any time at all on these pages you can’t fail to have noticed (and been inordinately impressed by) the range of beautiful bathrooms and bathroom accessories supplied by companies like clickbathrooms and bathroomheaven.
In fact so many of the products on display are designed on the understanding that if you’re loathe to replace your entire bathroom suite – then you don’t have to! After all, with the simple addition of a new bathroom basin you can achieve a fresh new look at a fraction of the cost.
