5 Tips for choosing the perfect bathroom basin

When designing a new bathroom, you need to ensure that you choose the perfect bathroom basin. Of course, there are a number of central features in any bathroom including a shower, bath, vanity unit and toilet but the basin is probably the most used piece of furniture, so this needs to be considered carefully. Bathroom basins come in two main styles. They are either stand-alone or come as part of a vanity unit. The first tip is choosing between the two styles. You need to consider the decoration and style of your bathroom before making your choice. The choice you make will then allow you to choose from the wide range available to you. It is best to make the decision between the stand-alone or the vanity counter top style basin first, as it narrows the choice and gives you more focus. From here you can choose how you will display the basin as part of your bathroom. Many people like to make it the centrepiece and very eye catching. Tip number two for choosing the perfect bathroom basin is to look through as many online catalogues as possible. Most big bathroom supplies have websites that you can browse through and they give a treasure trove of ideas. Tip number three is to ensure that you know the measurements of the basin space that’s available to you. This is really important to prevent wasting time and money. There might be certain fixtures on the basin you like which won’t fit into the bathroom space you have available. Always check first. If you have a very small bathroom , then you need to focus on corner basins. These are very good space saving basins and they look great. Don’t believe that you need to compromise on style because you have a small bathroom. That is not the case at all. The forth tip to choosing the perfect bathroom basin is to locate a basin that comes with installation also. This will save you a huge amount of time, problems and stress. Many householders try the DIY route, but unless you know what you’re doing, you should leave the basin installation to the professionals. In most cases, I would advise you to get professional installation as it can be very complicated to fit the basin yourself. If you really want to try it yourself, then visit one of the many websites that give you a step-by-step outline of how to do it. The best tip I can give you is to buy a bathroom basin with free installation, or installation included. Alternatively, find a local plumber that can help you out for a very reasonable price. If you are looking for maximum style and a unique bathroom then choose a vessel basin, or stand-alone basin. These basins give the bathroom character and offer much more style than those that come pre-installed into a counter top. If you like to customise the rooms of your home, then this will be the best basin for you. Again it comes down to personal choice, but a vessel basin gives you that professional and elegant look that is hard to find with many other bathroom basins. Many people prefer the ease of cleaning and simple look, so they would be better with a counter top basin. If you keep the five tips in mind when choosing your bathroom basin, you should find the perfect one for your tastes and needs. image from www.livinghouse.co.uk Tag it: ?
