Feature Washbasins: Not To Be Overlooked


Some people believe the bathroom to be of relative insignificance in the home, simply a place to wash, bath and do your business; some rarely even take care of the little boys room.

At Bathroom City, we believe that the bathroom is of great significance, and when done correctly, your family bathroom can be the home equivalent of a spa; giving you a place to relax and unwind at the end of a hard day.

Many features of the modern bathroom are often overlooked as a style choice and are regularly over shadowed by more significant home purchases.

A cleverly designed bathroom really can inspire your guests and a combination of the right furniture and sanitaryware can create a relaxed ambience which is second to none in the home.

One of the many overlooked bathroom essentials is the washbasin. Often selected purely on price, simplicity and the ability to merge with current bathroom furniture, the wash basin rarely gets a look in when spending your ‘luxury item’ fund (not that everyone has one of course).

A feature basin can drastically alter the look of your bathroom, and turn a functional design idea into an ore-inspiring luxurious concept, reminiscent of a top hotel, spa or health club.

‘I’d love a bathroom like that’ is regularly uttered with disappointment on leaving a hotel: so why not give it a go? The range of feature basins from Kohler is a great way to start.

With elegant vessel, undercounter, console, cast iron and ceramic washbasins, the range of Kohler products offers both timeless traditional designs reminiscent of Edwardian or Victorian grandeur as well as unique contemporary chic to impress your guests.

Capturing light in your suite and offering a head turning elegance, the Lavinia, Facet, Mirovia, Briolette and Pallene vessels are a clear glass look which captures the luxury of the vessel basin with a highly detailed design.

On the other hand, for a sumptuous ceramic vessel basin, the Nepal and Persia design offer a highly detailed hand crafted design, for a more decorative, elegant look.

Moreover, for a simple yet effective clear glass concept which oozes class, the Antilia Wading Pool glass is a hand crafted clear glass concept with light capturing characteristics that resemble water in various physical forms.

If a vessel basin isn’t you cup of tea, then maybe an undercounter basin offering a similar shape recessed subtly into a countertop or piece of furniture maybe your ideal solution.

The Lilies Lore cast bronze undercounter vessel basin is a traditional design which captures the essence of yesteryear with its beautifully engraved bronze basin, while the Kallos under counter basin is a highly detailed glass vessel basin which captures light in your suite and exudes contemporary vogue.

For the ultimate undercounter design, the Marrakesh countertop and Camber basin offers four different combinations of basin and countertop each providing a luxury design with meticulous attention to detail crafted from china, ideally finished with any of Kohler’s wall mounted brassware.

Simple shapes with extravagant detailing can make the humble undercounter a focal point in your bathroom suite and promise an unrivalled look which oozes class.

Finally, for a grand look while maintaining timeless tradition which will create an unforgettable bathroom look, a console basin is a sophisticated design with extravagance by the bucket load.

Chrome legs support the Kathryn Console Table which is an elegant look, combining a fireclay console top and stylish square tapered chrome legs.

Alternatively, for a more traditional look the traditional Kathryn console table with mitred corners sits splendidly on octagonal chrome legs which exude class and capture classic Edwardian grandeur.
