The Difference Between a Sink and Basin for a Bathroom

No kitchen would be complete without some means to wash the dirty dishes after you have finished your meal. While many households have an automatic dishwasher, most rely on a suitably large vessel and a plumbed supply of hot and cold water controlled by taps. The facility is known as a sink and shares its name with a similar setup for washing one’s hands. However, while the latter consists of a relatively small porcelain bowl, the kitchen variety is generally much larger, made of stainless steel and has a draining board. In practice, however, a specially-designed basin for a bathroom offers a more elegant and versatile option.

By contrast, a sink is a more basic facility, intended to be functional rather than decorative. Rows of sinks line the walls of the washrooms at most places of work, in gyms and cinemas and in public toilets. While some of the more sophisticated models may boast sensor-operated taps and automatic soap dispensers, they are uniformly semi-circular, white porcelain or fibreglass and barely large enough to wash your hands without splashing your clothes. However, in the home, most people would prefer something more attractive and less utilitarian. A basin for a bathroom will not only enhance the room’s décor and overall ambience but will provide several additional benefits.

 

Enhanced User Experience

In practice, this type of facility is often known as a vanity unit, a fact that may help to clarify the difference between this purpose-built piece of furniture from the humble sink. Where in use, the latter is generally supported by a pedestal that also serves to conceal the hot and cold-water pipes and perhaps a stopcock. However, although a vanity unit helps to perform the same function, this is secondary to its primary purpose. In addition to housing a basin for a bathroom, these units are designed to enhance the overall user experience.

 

Additional Storage Space

One thing that the smallest room in your home often lacks is space. You may have a glass shelf or two on which to store your toothpaste, soap and other toiletries, a small wall cabinet that doubles as a mirror, and some hooks on which to hang the towels in current use. However, a vanity unit offers a relatively compact means to extend your storage space. A built-in cupboard with a drawer replaces the sink’s pedestal, providing welcome additional storage beneath the basin for a bathroom. Installing a vanity unit will give you somewhere convenient to keep your clean towels, spare toilet rolls, and other items tucked neatly out of sight.

 

Versatile Styles and Designs

A floating vanity unit can attach to your wall at a convenient height and combines a large ceramic basin with some handy additional surface space for your toiletries while in use. For those who favour the Scandinavian style of décor and its widespread use of wood, GEZA offers a vanity unit with a stylish Indian ebony wood grain finish, adding a further touch of elegance to the housing of a basin that’s perfect for any bathroom.

Nevertheless, many still prefer the traditional sparkling white furnishings in their smallest room. While they might add a little colour to the walls with tiles or paint in a pastel shade, when it comes to the utility’s white, they believe there’s no substitute. As it happens, GEZA also offers an option to suit those whose taste in décor may be more traditional. We can provide a floor-standing model with a ceramic bowl and lever mixer tap instead of the wood-grain floating vanity unit. The conventional white basin for a bathroom is mounted on a two-door white, wrapped melamine cupboard. Its two large shelves provide even more storage space than the smaller vanity unit. The cabinet also serves to conceal the plumbing. It is also available as a set with a matching close-coupled toilet if required.

How to Buy the Right Basin for Bathroom Renovation

We spend many hours of our lives in the bathroom. Whether we need to use the basin, shower, toilet, or tub, it is the one room in the house that is used often. With that in mind, taking time to decide on the right basin for bathroom remodelling is important.

Let’s look at a few tips and guidelines on how to choose and buy the right for bathroom remodelling to help you make an informed choice.

 

How Much Space is Available?

It doesn’t help you buy a unit that doesn’t fit between the tub and the toilet or shower. First measure the available space before you shop for a unit. Also keep in mind that you will need movement space for comfort and safety.

Once you know how much floor space is available, consider the vertical space as well. If you have wall-mounted cupboards in the way, you can either select a unit without a top vanity section or you need to remove a wall cupboard or two.

 

What is the Room Layout?

Do you plan to change the current layout, or do you want to replace an existing unit with a modern bowl? The layout makes a difference as it determines whether you can fit one with a bottom vanity cupboard or need to select a smaller unit.

Where Will You Place It?

This brings us to the next question – where will it be installed? Will you place it between the shower and the toilet or between the tub and the wall? Will it be placed in a corner or against a long side wall? This is also important as it determines the shape and style of the unit to purchase.

 

How Much Space do You Need for Storage?

If you need extra towel space, then a double door or large drawer vanity unit will be perfect. If the bowl is for a bathroom that only one person uses, then a smaller vanity unit will be perfect.

 

What Type of Finish Do You Want?

Do you want to go all white or do you want to add a wooden colour to the bathroom?

 

 

What is Your Budget?

How much are you willing to spend? And how much do you have available to purchase a basin for bathroom remodelling? Knowing the answers will help to narrow down the search to quality suppliers that offer affordable, luxury, and functional units.

 

Where to Buy?

The answer is GEZA. We specialise in basins, showers, vanity units, shower cubicles, DIY swimming pools, and kitchen units. Our products are manufactured for durability, elegance, functionality, and space saving. With these units, you save on installation costs, have the assurance of product guarantees, and get everything needed for quick installation. Our products are affordable without compromising on the quality of the fixtures.

 

Our Range of Basins for Bathrooms

You can opt for a basin and toilet set. The toilet, basin, and vanity cupboard are white, making them a perfect fit for most bathrooms. The ceramic bowl comes with a level mixer on top of a wrapped melamine, double-door cupboard. It comes with the waste and trap. In addition, the cupboard features legs to lift it slightly from the floor. This helps to minimise the risk of water damage to the cupboard due to a wet floor surface. The toilet features a ceramic bowl and close seat. You can also purchase the basin with its bottom cupboard without the toilet.

If you have more space available and need a unit that provides for extra storage space, consider the elegant floating vanity that comes with a luxury Indian Ebony wood grain finish. It features a spacious storage drawer with a handle and comes with a plush ceramic basin that offers ample space on the side for placement of toiletries. The unit measures 910 mm in length, 470 mm in width, and 470 mm in height. This is the perfect unit for a guest bathroom as well.

 

Wrapping Up

Determine your budget, measure the available floorspace, and decide how much storage space you need before you look for the ideal basin for bathroom remodelling. Have a look at our affordable prices and place your order for delivery anywhere in South Africa.

Benefits of Prefabricated Shower Stalls

There was a time when built-in tiled shower stalls were preferred, but prefabricated cubicles have fast gained ground in popularity for several reasons. These are now available in a range of colour combinations, sizes, and shapes. With the variety available, the custom tiled and built-in units now have fierce competition. True, built-in units offer more customisation options, but the materials and processes involved add considerably to the environmental impact of building practices.

Prefabricated shower stalls hold several benefits for modern homeowners, developers, and resort owners. Let’s consider these in more depth below.

 

Fast Installation With Easy Fit Showers

For every hour it takes to complete a fixture fitting, it costs the homeowner or developer money. Pre-manufactured units come with installation guidelines and all the components required to complete the installation. Fast installation equals cost savings. The prefab types can be installed and working within 24 hours. If you need a quick solution that saves money without compromising on quality, durability, aesthetic appeal, and functionality, then prefab cubicles are the way to go.

 

No Special Wet Skills Required to Install These Shower Stalls

With custom built-in units, it can take up to a week for professionals to complete the job. With prefab shower stalls, you don’t need advanced wet and building skills. Not only can you install a unit faster but you can do so without the expense of hiring highly skilled building and wet trade professionals.

 

Lower Risk of Leaking

Many pre-manufactured cubicles come with trays that are fitted into a bed of sand. If properly installed, the risk of cracks and leaks is significantly lower. This also means lower maintenance. Some units come with almost no seams, also helping to reduce leakage risks.

 

Easy to Clean

Tiles often mean a lot of space for dirt and grime to collect in the connecting grout. This makes it difficult to keep clean and mould-free. With prefab types, there is no grout as the units come with easy-to-wipe wall surfaces. This also means a more hygienic wash area. Saving on cleaning time and products helps to reduce the cost of ownership.

 

Lightweight Shower Stall Design

The lightweight design is important for contractors who need to transport units and install these at client sites. Lightweight equals lower fuel costs and fewer people required to install units.

 

Final Thoughts on the Benefits of Prefab Shower Stalls

The pre-manufactured cubicles are lightweight, affordable, quick and easy to install and maintain with a low risk of leakage. With so many benefits associated with these units, you have every reason to shop for cubicles for your next project.

Why Choose Easy-fit Shower Cabins as a Bathroom Solution for Guesthouses?

Easy-fit shower cabins are prefabricated shower stalls with the walls, floor, mixer and rose, and door units already complete. Just from the description, you can already see some tangible benefits of installing these all-in-one cubicles in guesthouses.

Before we look at an example of the many types now available from GEZA and the benefits of installing these prefabricated cubicles, let’s first find out why guesthouse owners would want to install showers.

For one, a bedroom with en-suite bathroom rents at a higher price than one where the bathroom must be shared. If you want to upgrade one or two rooms at your guesthouse, you can do so with the installation of easy-fit cabins. Instead of having to spend a fortune for built-in types, you opt for easy-fit units instead. Of course, you will still need to have the plumbing installed and must have approved plans for this, but you can save considerable costs and time with neat, easy-fit shower cabins.

 

5 Benefits of Easy-fit Shower Cabins

Easy-fit units are made off-site according to strict manufacturing and quality standards. These products have already been tested and their designs work. This means you get layouts that are proven to be practical. It also means taking the guesswork out of choosing a workable layout, appearance and materials for the project. Below are other benefits to consider.

 

1. Saves Money

Just look at GEZA’s bathroom pricelists, and you’ll agree that prefabricated units are cheaper than the built-in types. You don’t have the costs of expensive tiles, a heavy load of grout, the intensive surface preparation for tiling, and the brick-and-mortar cost of the tray area. With these units already made, you save money on installation, preparation, and materials.

 

2. Ensures Faster Project Completion

Conventional built-in showers take anything from three days to two weeks to complete. The contractor fee for such a comprehensive and complex project can be steep because of the expertise and labour involved. Every day spent on-site means more costs. It also means disruption of your routine guesthouse activities. In addition, the room is out of service for the entire period it takes to complete the project. Save time, which equals money savings, with easy-fit cubicles. With the preparation and plumbing done beforehand, you can have the cubicle fitted within 24 to 48 hours.

 

3. Is Neat and Has a Lower Risk of Leaks

Water leaks related to cracked surfaces or incorrect sealing can lead to extensive water damage in adjacent rooms, walls and cupboards. This can be expensive to repair, and it is unsightly, not even mentioning mould formation due to dampness. A mould smell is not appealing, especially in a guesthouse. With the conventional built-in types, the risk of leakage is higher than with prefabricated units. Easy-fit shower cabins come with almost no seams and have one-piece flooring systems, solving the issue of multiple leaks.

 

4. Reduces the Risk of Water Build-up and Mould

Dampness in the cubicle area creates an environment in which mould and fungi can grow. Not only is black mould unsightly, but it is also a health hazard. Unfortunately, the grout between tiles creates an area in which dampness can build up and mould can grow. With the prefabricated units, you don’t have grout areas. This ensures a more hygienic bathing environment for your guests. The trays of the prefabricated cubicles are designed to allow for optimal drainage and elimination of corners in which water can pool.

 

5. Is Easy to Clean

These easy-fit units are made from materials that can simply be wiped down and kept dry. This reduces the time it takes your housekeeping team to clean and prepare rooms for the guests.

 

Extensive Range of Stylish Easy-fit Shower Cabins

GEZA offers an exquisite range of prefabricated stalls that meet your requirements. An example is the Corner Glass Cubicle which comes with a white ABS/fibreglass tray that has been reinforced with a steel frame and legs. The side and back glass panels fit into an aluminium frame that is fixed onto the tray. The unit includes a stylish combination, comprising a mixer, rose, arm, and glass shelving. This is only one of the many types available.

Top Basin for Bathroom Styles in 2022 and Beyond

Have you typed “basin for bathroom” into your search engine in the hope of finding an affordable unit that’s also attractive and practical? With every person’s individual needs and preferences when it comes to bathroom styles, it’s not always easy to choose the basin for your bathroom. But, you’re in luck as GEZA offers a unit that will not go out of style because it’s so functional and aesthetically appealing.

Before we dive into the basin for bathroom styles in 2022 and beyond, let’s have a quick look at the GEZA unit. The elegant white bowl has an oval shape with a central level mixer, helping to open up space at the corners for toothbrushes or soap holders. It has a drop-in sink with a sleek melamine-finish white cupboard.

The unit comes with two doors and two shelves and measures 550 mm by 435 mm with a height of 890 mm. What makes it exceptionally practical is the slight lift from the floor which eliminates the risk of water damage to the cupboard. Have a look at this bathroom unit here. It also comes with the waste and trap for easy and affordable installation.

Other than the affordable, yet stylish bathroom products offered by GEZA, let’s look at a few of the trends regarding basin styles.

 

Wall-mounted basins

If space is very limited, then the wall-mounted basin for bathroom style is the go-to option. It’s also a good choice if you’re a true minimalist and don’t need storage space. A disadvantage of this style is the exposed plumbing. It can create a rustic feel if that’s what you’re after, but you’ll have to work hard at keeping the pipes clean, especially the joints and bends. Keep in mind that you wouldn’t want to put any weight on the wall-mounted bowl as this could loosen it from the wall. A positive is that you can place the toilet brush or a trash bin underneath, thereby saving space.

 

Sunken style

If you have a countertop with or without cupboards underneath, you can opt for this style. The bowl sides rest on top of the counter with the actual bowl dropped in. This type is well-suited for the bathroom where you want the basin to be in the centre of the counter space or want to add a his-and-her set of two basins. In this instance, you’ll have ample counter space for toiletries. With the available counter space, it’s easy to fall into the trap of leaving everything on the counter, causing clutter. This style is also better suited to a larger bathroom.

 

Traditional pedestal style

Almost like the wall-mounted type, but with a pillar surrounding the plumbing, the pedestal is well-suited to a two-set bathroom. It doesn’t give the extra storage space that comes with the GEZA drop-in type with a cabinet, but it can work in a setting where you hardly have space.

 

Corner wall-mounted unit

With this type of basin, the pipes are exposed, which lessens its aesthetic appeal, but it takes up even less space than the conventional wall-mounted type. You can use the space underneath to fit a trash bin or perhaps a standalone open rack for towels or toiletries. This type is usually found in public space ablutions.

 

Countertop style

It’s an elegant style, best suited for the larger bathroom where you can fit a marble, stone or tile countertop. The entire bowl rests on the countertop. To hide the piping, add a cabinet underneath the counter.

 

Under-mount style

Whereas the countertop type rests on the counter, the under-mount is sunken with every part of the bowl under the counter surface. It’s neat, but you won’t be able to show off the elegance of the bowl.

 

Final thought

Apart from the overall style, the size and the shape of the bowl affect the functionality and appeal of the bathroom basin unit. The choice is yours and it depends on the available space, your budget and the level of practicality you have in mind. At GEZA, we believe that affordability, aesthetic appeal, durability, and functionality should all be prioritised. It’s for this reason that we offer you an elegant oval-shaped, drop-in basin in a cabinet to meet storage, space, functionality and affordability requirements.

7 Useful Small Bathroom Basin Cabinets Layout and Storage Ideas

Modern holiday homes often have small bathrooms, but what to do if you own such a home and want extra storage space while doing away with the clutter? Read on to discover small bathroom basin cabinets storage ideas that work regardless of your budget and style requirements.

As interior designers have often noted, with the compact design of the bathroom, it’s crucial to achieve a balanced look and feel. Doing so is possible with furniture that takes up less space while also offering a storage option to hide bottles, toiletries, towels and cleaning products. It’s no wonder basin cabinets have become so popular. Instead of having separate cupboards that take up more floor space, opt for a basin cupboard, enabling you to have a sunken basin whilst not losing storage space.

 

Idea 1: Hide those ugly pipes with basin cabinets

To hide plumbing pipes, such as the trap and waste, basin cabinets can be used. What is important is to choose a cupboard design that enables you to conceal the pipes but gives sufficient storage space and doesn’t protrude too much at the bottom and top. If you do install an upper mirror cabinet, make sure it doesn’t protrude over the basin as this can make it uncomfortable to brush your teeth or wash your face. Also, if the cabinet under the basin protrudes too much, it will take up essential floor space.

 

Idea 2: Make the cabinet a room feature, not just storage space

Every element in a small bathroom is important. It must have function, aesthetic appeal and style. With that in mind, consider ways to make the space around the basin more interesting. Add a towel hook or rack, toothbrush and soap unit, and don’t forget the mirror. Even if you decide not to add a vanity cabinet, do add an interesting mirror to complete the picture.

Idea 3: Don’t put all the pressure on the bathroom cabinets

Add shallow or floating shelves for small items or even face towels. Add a neat, enclosed laundry basket to hide dirty clothing. Add shelving above the toilet if there is not a window directly above it. Consider adding a hanging toiletries rack in the shower to help reduce the number of items that must be stored in the cupboards.

 

Idea 4: Correct lighting adds to the ambience and functionality of the bathroom

By installing warm-coloured LED strips under the counter or slightly hidden from sight, you add flattering light. You can also install a wall lamp rather than a ceiling light, giving a warmer atmosphere to the bathroom. In addition, having a light focussed on illuminating the area surrounding the mirror can take the attention away from cluttered areas.

 

Idea 5: Only put the items you’re willing to display in the open

A neat and elegant handwash dispenser adds style to the room. As such, it can be displayed in the open. But all the commercial shampoo, conditioner and face wash bottles are best kept hidden in the basin cupboard.

 

Idea 6: Eye-level bathroom cabinets for clutter-free surfaces

Shallow cupboards on the walls at eye level allow you to store small items away, keeping the surfaces free from clutter. The most important of cabinets is the basin cabinet because it is where you can store products that normally add clutter to the bath side. Every item hidden from clear sight adds to the neatness of the bathing space.

 

Idea 7: Make the most of the available space in the cupboard

You can add commercial cupboard interior steps to place bottles and other containers on. In this way, you create a pavilion layout in the cupboard, making it easier to access a specific item without having to unpack all the bottles.

 

Final thoughts

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that the bathroom is too small for adding cabinets. The basin cabinet takes up the least amount of space because it makes it possible to have a sunken bowl. Since the space under the bowl would have been unoccupied and the pipes would have been visible, you get two functions in one – storage and concealing unsightly piping. Get started right away!

Ideas for Free Standing Kitchens in 2022

If you had to spend all your time indoors during the highest levels of lockdown, you most probably also spent a considerable time in your kitchen and might just be in the mood to make a change in your home. But, for 2022, there is an outlook of hope, and you might even consider doing renovations. To this end, read on as we share a few ideas on free standing kitchens for this year.

 

The linear layouts are back in style

If something works, why change it? The linear layout has always worked well for small spaces, but what’s different now is that you can buy free standing kitchens to fit in the available space. These include single to double sink bowl units with cupboards underneath to full combination types. The latter includes a combination of a fridge, stove, microwave, oven, drawer, cupboard, draining board and sink. Of course, with several combinations available, you don’t have to include everything. The GEZA sink and storage units come with everything you need to get started. The sinks, for example, come with the waste and trap and the electric two-plate stoves are plug-in.

 

Freestanding kitchens allow you to go all out with extra storage space

If you have more wall space than offered in the conventional linear layout, you can add modular kitchen storage units to help you save on space. These are also free-standing, enabling you to move

them to the wall of choice. With this option, you have more flexibility when it comes to designing the layout. For instance, add a two-door, two-drawer cabinet with a countertop next to the sink with a draining board unit to create more workspace. Add a countertop shelf for open display of cups, glasses, spices and related items. Complete the picture with a vertical free standing grocery cabinet.

 

Adjustable shelving for more flexibility with free-standing kitchens

With the adjustable shelving trend, you can set the height of the upper shelving in the cupboard. This makes it possible to adjust the height for larger items, thereby minimising the need to place items on the countertop area.

 

Add colour to the kitchen

Although more free-standing kitchens are manufactured with white melamine finishes, it doesn’t mean your kitchen has to be all-white. Paint the walls in the latest trending colours for 2022. The contrast between white cupboards and a coloured wall will add a unique and modern twist to the kitchen’s appearance.

Easy Tips for Keeping Bathroom Basins and Mirrors Clean and Neat

Bathroom basins are among the most-used fixtures in our homes. Apart from purchasing a unit with a cupboard underneath to organise and store toiletries, such as this toilet and ceramic basin unit with a stylish wrapped melamine cupboard, what else can you do to keep the basin area spotless?

For one, a regular cleaning goes a long way to keep the area pristine and hygienic, especially focusing on removing spots and spills from surfaces as well as residue from the waste and trap. Tough, for everyday cleaning of basins, you don’t want to perform the latter step as it can cause damage to the surfaces. Read on to discover how you can keep bathroom basins and mirrors neat and clutter-free.

Store beauty products elsewhere

Don’t let nail cleaner, polish, scissors or make-up take over the side of the basin. Apart from the chemicals that can cause stains, any metal items will rust due to constant water exposure, leaving unsightly marks on the surface. Use the cupboard underneath the basin to store the beauty products and metal items, which should be kept on the bottom shelf. In this way, the basin’s surface will remain scratch-free as well.

Wipe the basin clean after every use

A daily rinse and wipe will help to remove any toothpaste, cream, soap or related residue that can cause discolouring of the surface. In doing this, your basin will be free from sticky residue and stay spotless.

Remove rust marks

If rust marks have already developed at the drain hole, use a household rust removal spray or liquid to get rid of the marks.

Prevent water residue marks on taps

Keep the chrome taps on bathroom basins and tubs shiny by regularly polishing them using a damp drying cloth.

Keep mirrors shiny

Prevent streaks from forming on the mirrors by dusting the mirrors before cleaning them. Once they are dust-free, you can spray a glass cleaning detergent over the entire surface before wiping it clean with a micro-fibre cloth. You can use shaving foam to reduce fog build-up. Simply spray the foam onto the surface and polish it using a lint-free soft cloth.

Keeping basins clean also entails keeping the drains unclogged. Use baking soda for this task. Simply sprinkle it into the drain hole and then add vinegar. Leave it standing for a few minutes before rinsing it through with warm water. This will help to remove toothpaste and grime build-up in the waste and trap.

Now that you know how to keep your bathroom shiny and clean, view our basin unit with cupboard which offers you ample space to keep beauty products and metal items stored away and leave your bathroom area organised and clutter-free. Order your unit and we will deliver it to your door.

Find Basins Ideal for Completing a Small Bathroom in Style

The main reason for adding a small bathroom to your home is to save on costs. With that in mind, it’s only fitting to look at affordable basins ideal for completing a small bathroom. The ideal solutions are compact in size and designed to match a wide range of interiors.

 

GEZA Basin Unit – Ideal compact and neat unit for completing the picture

At 55 cm by 43,5 cm by 89 cm in size, these basins are ideal for completing a small bathroom. Each of these units comes with a melamine cupboard, consisting of twin doors and two shelves. These are all white, aside from the black feet, making them suited for completing the picture in any style room. The bowl itself is ceramic and has a lever mixer for switching between hot and cold water. A waste and trap are also supplied with your purchase – View the unit image and details online.

 

Other ideal space-saving tips for small bathrooms

Apart from buying compact basins, several approaches can be followed to give the room a spacious feel. It’s all in the layout. Below are some tips to help you get the most out of a small space:

• Buy a shower only or combination unit instead of having the cubicle and bath separate.
• Build shelving into open areas between fixtures, or inside walls where possible.
• Choose a mirror with a cupboard behind it for storing toothbrushes, medicine or toiletries.
• Use the door for placing hooks where towels can be hung.
• Get waterproof shelving installed in the shower for shampoo and other washing supplies.

An excellent option on a shower that’s ideal for small bathrooms is a corner unit, as it takes up less floor area and doesn’t feature sharp ends that can cause injury in a cramped space. See our gorgeous glass corner unit if you’re looking for an inexpensive shower cubicle.

 

Four Finishing touches for completing the picture

After deciding on the shower cubicle, toilet and basins, there’s still work to do before the masterpiece is complete. Here’s how you can make a tight space look bigger:

 

Don’t overdo the décor – Too many patterns and colours can easily mimic the feeling of clutter and make people feel claustrophobic. Choose one part to be the unique focal point, for example, an accent wall behind the basin. This way you get to showcase your talent without overwhelming your guests.

 

Forget the cosy rugs – In a large bathroom, it makes sense to have foot rugs at the basin, toilet, shower and bath. However, if there isn’t a lot of floor space, rugs can quickly make the place look tacky instead of comfortable. These can also make it difficult to clean, and mini rooms already require more regular cleaning than large ones. Avoid placing unnecessary items in the room and rather spend money on picking chic essential pieces.

 

Install a sky-light – The more natural light you let in, the less it will feel like the space is tiny. Consider big windows or a nature wall-vinyl if you can’t break out the walls. Natural touches create the feeling of a fresh and relaxing environment. A hanging plant, bamboo basket or even a pebbled floor can add to the earthy ambience. Most people associate nature with freedom and open space. You can also go for hints of blue and seashells for a similar effect, if the ocean is more your style.

 

Create inserts for storage areas – As with our previously mentioned basins, our small wall-mounted basins also come equipped with cupboards at the bottom, as well as an extra behind-mirror one. To maximise these spaces, you can either buy or make your own insert for toiletries and washing essentials. It’s easier for household members to remember where to put items after they’ve been used if the cupboards are organised. Proper organisation reduces the risk of a room becoming untidy with brushes and vanity products.

How to Choose Showers for Small Bathrooms

It isn’t uncommon in modern dwelling developments to build more compact rooms, especially in security complexes or estates. But fitting basins, toilets and showers for small bathrooms can be a daunting task.

What if you buy a basin that fits, but it takes up too much space between the shower and the toilet? You’ll have to remove one or the other and replace it with a different version, which could end up adding considerable expenses to the development project.

To avoid this and other unwanted situations, read on to discover how to select the best units for your project.

 

4 Tips for Buying Showers for Small Bathrooms

There are a couple of points to consider when selecting bathroom fixtures:

• The floor size, as well as door and window locations of the room.
• Whether it’s the guest-, main or family bathroom.
• What amount you have budgeted to complete each room.
• The plumbing system and electricity supply.

 

Apart from the above-mentioned factors, you also want to think about a supplier for the products. If you purchase a one-of-a-kind or rare unit, will you be able to get parts in case something breaks? You’ll also want to get an overview of the types currently on the market. This could help you choose a unit that not only suits your pocket upon purchase, but also prevents high water and energy usage for the tenants or sectional title holders in the complex.
