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.
