1 – Centre stage
“Although a bath or shower space may be the more obvious item to emphasise in a bathroom design, many homeowners are choosing to plan their room around their basin. We’re tending to find that the sink is the first item chosen within a scheme, as it then becomes a key focal point of the room.”

2 – Added influence
“Whether you opt for a minimal, simple design or a classic traditional basin, this essential element can determine the style of the rest of the bathroom. It can be a good idea to start with selecting the style of the basin, as this decision starts things rolling elsewhere, allowing everything to take shape from this point.”

3 – Free choice
“Making the most of a basin is easier to do than to emphasise other elements. There is more design freedom, perhaps because its function is nicer than the WC, so more attention can be paid to the look.”
