Small Bathroom Basins
When shopping for a small bathroom basin you will discover that many styles are readily available in smaller sizes to fit small bathrooms and cloakrooms. Small bathroom basins come with a single pedestal, half pedestal, or are wall-mounted with a bottle trap. They can be made of acrylic, chrome, copper, or porcelain. There is even a model of a small bathroom basin which is made entirely of glass to make the room appear larger than it is.
The best way to make a small bathroom basin feel bigger is by choosing a color that contrasts with the walls. For example, a dark blue bath can be made to look lighter by choosing a white or cream colored bath panel with matching textured wallpaper. Alternatively, simply choose a bright contrasting tile such as red on white or yellow on tan to pop. Alternatively, you could just choose a black and white tile to create a stunning effect.
There are many different types of small bathroom basin taps to choose from including shower basin taps, cloakroom basin taps, pedestal taps, and wall hung basin taps. The first option to consider when looking for new taps is whether they are uninstalled in a bathroom. Installing uninstalled taps will make your existing bathroom look very small, so if you can’t fit a basin then this is the best option.
Shower and bath vanity units are great space savers and give your bathroom a lift by taking the majority of the water pressure away from the room. Shower and bath vanity units are generally smaller than typical cloakroom basins and are great for smaller bathrooms. Bathroom sinks are normally a lot bigger than cloakroom sinks and these sinks are ideal for small bathroom basins as they take up much of the space and there’s no need for extra plumbing to accommodate the extra volume. Sinks can come in the form of freestanding or attached in a corner.
It is possible to get away with installing a large basin in a small bathroom if it’s put into a corner. The benefit of doing this is that you don’t need to have a giant shower area either. If you’re not going to be using your cloakroom basin taps daily then there are several cloakroom basin taps that you can buy which are made from very durable materials. These items usually look very similar to standard bath basin taps, but the material they are made from is usually plastic. They are lightweight and very easy to clean. Plastic basins are also very easy to install, which is essential if you are going to be putting your basin in a particularly challenging area.
Installing wall-mounted basins in a small bathroom can be a very daunting task. This is especially true if you live in a period property where the plaster on the walls has begun to deteriorate. If you can’t afford new plaster then you may have to opt for other options, such as glass or stone. This will of course cost more than plain old ceramic tiles. It is however possible to find glass or stone basins that have a very elegant design, and so they can be very fitting in a period property.
You may find it difficult to find any decently shaped cloakroom sinks for a small bathroom, but this isn’t the case. There are numerous shapes and sizes of sinks that you can choose from. You could go for circular basins or square ones, depending on your personal preference. There are also several designs where the basin itself spans across the drain. Some designs even feature a curved shape.
In conclusion, if you are living in a period property, then you should be able to fit a reasonably sized wall mounted vanity unit onto your bathroom floor. These items are often sold with matching taps and basins, so you should be able to incorporate these items into the overall look of your room. As small bathroom basins, they don’t have the scope to add much personality to your space, but they can be a great choice for many people. If you are planning on fitting a vanity unit then it may even be a good idea to fit one of these units as well as wall mounts, as this will offer you added storage space.
