The wash basin is one of the most standout features in a bathroom, and with BAGNODESIGN, choosing the right one is as much about the design as it is about practical considerations. Our broad choice of basins allows you to really put your mark on the overall look, whether by enhancing your own space or delivering the right results for your next design project. With an array of materials, colours, and styles to choose from, you are sure to find the ideal basin that elevates the overall look.

But how do you narrow it down? To help you make the right decision, follow these simple steps below.

Determine Your Style Preference

Start with the overall design direction of your space. Is the bathroom sleek and chic? Textural and organic? Dramatic or more minimal? BAGNODESIGN offers collections that complement every aesthetic. Selecting a basin that suits the wider look and feel of your bathroom will help tie the space together.

 

Measure Size & Dimensions

Next, measure both the available space and the scale of other fittings in the room. For large and master bathrooms you have more real estate for design freedom. Why not consider doubling up on your basins to create a his-and-hers vanity? Countertop styles work well in this instance, especially when mounted on single or double vanity units which provide extra storage. This style also works well in a Majlis bathroom where multiple guests may dwell.

In smaller settings such as cloakrooms, wall-mounted basins help create a sense of space by freeing up the floor below. Even freestanding models like Studio 316 or Beach House can also be effective in small powder rooms, especially when there is no need for under-basin storage.

If you require certain dimensions, the Alpine range is especially versatile and equally bespoke. With styles like trough, wall-mounted and freestanding options available, these basins can be custom-made to suit project-specific dimensions, whether it be for a hotel guest suite, restaurant bathroom, or even for a private villa. And thanks to our in-house slab fabrication capabilities, we ensure a quick turnaround without compromising on quality.

Select the Material

The choice of the material can influence the design and practical aspect, and here you can go all out, keep it classic or find a happy medium. For example, ceramic remains a trusted option, and collections like M-Line and Zephyr are go-to staples for residential developments and commercial washrooms where a timeless, easy-to-maintain style endures.

Another easy-to-look-after material—and one that is also great for hotels, bars and restaurants due to its limitless capabilities and aesthetic appeal—is the porcelain tile seen in the Alpine range. Porcelain is a fantastic alternative to marble or stone because it mimics the real deal, but without the added maintenance.

Alternatively, the brand’s signature BAGNOQUARTZ gives its basins a smooth, seamless appearance. Made from a high-strength resin and mineral composite this material gives a polished look in either Matt White or Matt Black, and comes in many slimline designs. Beach House is a key example, with matching bathtubs available. Java, meanwhile, stands out for its fluted exterior inspired by Indonesian landscapes, and looks great paired with Chiasso mixers for a cohesive look.

If you are after something more tactile, composite stone Bristol basins come in terrazzo or concrete-effect finishes which work to emulate the rejuvenating ambience of an urban spa. For a completely different look from the same range, the resin freestanding or countertop basins and matching bathtubs are real showstoppers in Bottle Green or Galaxy Black. Alternatively, Stereo FM delivers a bold and impactful look in stainless steel and is easy to clean.

Complement with Colour

Adding colour is a great way to bring personality to the bathroom, and the trend for colourful basins fits right into this.

BAGNODESIGN meets the trend with a variety of design-led washbasins including the colourful Monroe and Koy. Proving popular with consumers, our award-winning Monroe countertop basins create a focal feature in eight striking colours including 5 metallic finishes to bejewel and enchant. Likewise, Koy comes in 11 beautiful hues in matt or gloss finishes to brighten up even the most minimal of interiors. From master bathrooms and powder rooms to children’s bathrooms, this range can be matched or contrasted with porcelain tiles to create calmingly serene or energetically invigorating spaces.
