Your kitchen and bathroom are the two rooms that can make a difference in your comfort level. Start with the smallest of items and work your way through to the fixtures required to create the functionality you will want in these rooms. In particular, if you are looking to buy a basin for your bathroom, read on as we discuss factors that can help you identify the best unit for your particular needs.
Determine available space
When looking to buy a basin for your bathroom you will want to choose one that fits in the available space. Just as a too-small unit can look lost in a huge space, so can one that takes up more space than available become a useless piece of furnishing. Cramping the space will only cause frustration. Before you shop, measure the available space for the unit. Also keep in mind that cupboard doors must be able to open. Here’s an example of a full basin and cupboard unit suitable for a larger space.
What’s your style?
Are you looking for something that embodies simplicity, or do you fancy something more elaborate? If sleek lines and a modern feel are your style, then you’ll want a unit that features a cupboard beneath and a mirror. If you have the space, consider this stylish and compact, modern wall-mounted basin. With dimensions at 600 mm x 470 mm, it’s compact enough to fit in a small space, but large enough to provide ample storage space in the cupboard section. The basin has a comfortable size, while the mirror provides the convenience needed for a guest room or student flat.
Looking to buy a basin for your bathroom with limited funds?
Most of us have to consider our budgets, whether for home renovations or new building projects. To this end, set a budget before you shop for products. However, be realistic in your expectations. That said, you’ll want to buy from a supplier, known for superior quality products at affordable prices. The last thing you want is to end up with an item that only lasts a few months. GEZA meets the quality, durability and affordability requirements. View our price list for bathroom units, helping you to make an informed buying choice.
Colour matching considerations
Back in the seventies, people loved the idea of choosing coloured basins and baths. Who doesn’t remember those olive green, light blue, brown, and yellow fixtures? As in-style as the colours were back then, so out of date the colour units are today. If you want your bathroom style to remain in vogue for years to come, go with white. It is neat, always in style, easy to maintain and can work with any colour wall or tile. Besides, white is also preferable if you want to sell or rent your home as it’s neutral and thus not a colour likely to be on the no-go list for potential tenants or buyers.
How many rooms?
Do you only want to buy a single basin for one room, or do you want to refurbish several bathrooms? If only for one, you can consider going with a slightly higher-priced unit to meet your particular storage and functionality needs. If for the self-catering units in your resort, consider the least expensive and most basic units.
