Freshen up—7 beautiful wash basin ideas

Looking to freshen up your bathroom? Let us help fill your imagination with these 7 beautiful wash basin ideas.

One thing that has become more important than ever in recent times is regular hand washing. Bathroom wash basins, already the focal point of our daily routines, have taken on an even greater significance—which is why you may have suddenly noticed how tired and outdated yours is looking.

So, what can you do? Well, don’t just wash your hands of the whole thing (if you pardon the pun); why not replace your bathroom sink with something infinitely more stylish and easy to use? To help you “get with the flow”, we’ve come up with these 7 beautiful wash basin ideas.

1. Crown your countertop

Transform your bathroom into your very own home spa with this beautiful round-shaped countertop wash basin.

For genuine designer style, why not combine with a countertop basin unit in a contrasting colour like black, and add a contemporary high rise basin mixer, available in a range of special finishes like brushed brass and rose gold.

2. Space-saving perfection

Created with smaller bathrooms in mind, this contemporary style pedestal wash basin features slim edges for a more minimalist appearance.

Whilst white ceramics are very popular, basins do come in a variety of different shades, with one of the most on-trend colours being black.

If your bathroom or cloakroom is really tiny, you can always turn to your corners to provide you with that extra bit of wall space. This stylish corner wash basin will help you do just that!

7. One tap or two?
