8 Bathroom Basin and Tap Ideas

Don't stress about finding the right basin and tap combination! We're here to help. In this blog, we'll show you 8 different ways to style your bathroom basin and tap. From trendy countertop basins with wall mounted taps to smaller cloakroom designs and special finishes, find your perfect pairing and enjoy. 

We've handpicked a fantastic selection of bathroom basin and tap ideas to help you find the combination that works for you.


 

1. A trendy countertop basin and brushed brass mixer tap

Grab the look of the moment with a curved, rectangular countertop basin. One of our most popular styles, the Sophia Rectangular basin sits on top of your vanity unit for a modern touch to your bathroom. You can also install on a floating shelf if your space doesn't have suitable furniture. 

We have chosen the elegant and modern design of the Drench Core mixer tap in a brushed brass finish. Made from a durable brass material with WRAS approval and backed by a lifetime guarantee.


 

2. Traditional full pedestal basin and twin handle mono mixer  

The Butler & Rose Catherine has an angular frame with a statuesque structure and an authentic splashback reminiscent of the Edwardian era. The white glossy finish and the long, proud pedestal makes the perfect focal point in your bathroom. 

Combining the modern functionality we all need with a period look is the delightful Butler & Rose Beatrice, which comes with a matching, free basin waste included. It's made from a durable brass with a brushed brass finish which completes your traditional aesthetic perfectly. 

 

 


Finding the right tap to pair with a traditional bathroom space is simple thanks to our amazing range of traditionally-inspired mixer taps.


 

3. Black in fashion with an oval basin and tall tap 

The combination of dreams for modern spaces and certainly a great choice if you want to create a feature in your bathroom. The rounded shape of the Harbour Grace countertop basin adds an unusual, yet stylish addition to your bathroom.

This type of basin has presence and so needs an equally dramatic tap to match. Take a look at this tall model from the fantastic and very favoured Core range. This tap mounts on the deck next to your basin standing tall with the spout perfectly placed above the basin for the perfect flow. 


 

4. The quirky semi-recessed basin and micro tap 

Choosing a semi-recessed basin optimises the area without compromising on wall space. The Hudson Reed model is a compact design at 480mm width in a rectangular shape with a strong ceramic construction. It has a curved edge which softens the look and is finished in gloss white for extra impact. 

We've paired with the stylish Vellamo Reveal mixer tap in Chrome fitting nicely with the compact feel of the Hudson Reed basin. The tap features ceramic disc technology to minimise leaks and an aerator spout which both help to save water. 

 


 

5. A classic pedestal ideal for small spaces

Add style to an ensuite or pizzazz to your cloakroom with the Ideal Standard i.life range, offering a classic full pedestal basin without taking up more room than is necessary. 

This basin has a classic and elegant design with a timeless white finish and compact size, with just a 250mm depth, that is idea for a cloakroom, ensuite for micro bathroom. 

We've paired with the Ideal Standard Ceraplan mono mixer that has a smooth, silky appearance and sophisticated matt black finish. It's also got the brand's FirmaFlow® ceramic disc cartridges to help save you money on your water bill.


 

6. Effortless style, bundles of storage and a modern tap 

We love to make life easier here at Drench so why not consider one of our popular vanity units for your bathroom that comes complete with its own ceramic white basin included. Win win!

First let's take a look at the Isla storage unit which has a choice of handle finishes to suit your aesthetic and two drawers to hide all your necessities. It comes with an inset, white ceramic basin to make installing your new vanity area much easier. 

We've opted for this smoky dust grey for the unit with gunmetal brassware for a really current and on trend update to your space. It pairs beautifully with the Core mono mixer in Gunmetal as pictured. It's a really eye-catching design that features plenty of modern functionality too. What a dream combination!


 

7. The modern cloakroom countertop basin and chrome mixer

When space is limited, it can be hard to find the right basin, especially if you want to update to a more modern aesthetic. The Alana Rectangular basin is compact at 335mm in width, so perfect for a cloakroom space, while benefiting from added depth to avoid any overspill in your downstairs loo.

We've paired with the Vellamo Connect mixer tap which comes with a clicker waste and a stunning chrome finish. There's an unusual profile to this tap with a curved, shallow spout and matching lever. Add to that the ceramic disc technology to minimise leaks and a brass construction and you've got a fantastic cloakroom tap that will last. 

 

8. Maximum impact with wall mounted taps and oval basin 

Our final pick makes the biggest statement of all with the combination of a contemporary, rounded countertop basin and the period-styled wall mounted taps. 

The Harbour Grace countertop has a width of 560mm and can come in matt or gloss white and can sit on top of one of our vanity units or a floating shelf. 

This stylish basin is perfectly complemented by the Butler & Rose Beatrice wall mounted taps, featuring in a charming brushed brass finish and a sturdy brass construction.
