Coloured countertop basins — how to choose the best one?

Colourful countertop washbasins have been a real hit in recent seasons and interior design trends. The right shade and shape guarantee not only a striking bathroom, but a practical one too. So how do you choose a colourful bathroom washbasin to create a functional yet original space?

Colourful countertop washbasin — what makes it so popular?

Colourful washbasins attract the most interest above all in modern, unconventional and glamour-style interiors. What do they owe their popularity to? Apart from the fact that countertop models are practical and in themselves make an original addition to interiors, the colourful variant further enhances their appeal.

Colourful countertop washbasin comes in various shapes: from oval, through rectangular and round, to more fanciful designs — reminiscent of colourful glass bowls, shells or flowers. What’s more, this type of washbasin can imitate virtually any material: marble, wood or stone.

It is precisely such a wide choice of patterns, colours, sizes and shapes that makes colourful bathroom washbasins increasingly popular.

Trend for colourful washbasins — how to arrange a bathroom with them?

To fully showcase the decorative aspect of colourful washbasins, it’s worth choosing models that contrast with the countertop. Choose a model that clearly stands out from the cabinet on which you place the washbasin, while also contrasting with the tiles.

If the room’s walls are light, feel free to go for a washbasin in dark tones, imitating, for example, stone. On a wooden countertop, a model imitating marble will stand out. Ceramic washbasins in bold colours — green, red, yellow, turquoise or purple — are also very popular. With such a combination, make sure to choose accessories in a similar shade, e.g. a soap dish or a tumbler for toothbrushes.

You can also match the colour or pattern of the washbasin to the texture and shade of decorative tiles in the bathroom, or to other small decorative elements, such as the ornamentation of the mirror, its frame or the shape of the wall lights above the mirror.

Shape of the washbasin

The shape of the washbasin also matters in interior arrangements. Here, a good reference point will be the mirror — if it is rectangular, opt for a washbasin of the same shape. Do the same with each subsequent form: round mirror — round washbasin, etc. This way, you will bring harmony into the interior.

Size of the washbasin

The size of the washbasin affects not only its functionality. It also determines whether it will suit the aesthetic of the entire room. In spacious bathrooms, feel free to choose large washbasins — models up to 120 cm long work well here!

In small interiors, it is best to go for small washbasins that won’t overwhelm the bathroom. Models between 40 cm and 70 cm in length will be a good solution.

Tap colour

The colour of the tap is also important. Those in shades of yellow and rose gold work particularly well in glamour-style interiors. Chrome and silver finishes are a good choice for modern spaces, while black or white will suit both modern interiors and classic or Scandinavian ones.

Ceramics still the most popular!

Bathroom ceramic washbasins are still popular. Firstly, ceramics can take on almost any, even the most fanciful shape, colour or pattern. Secondly, it is a material that shows high resistance to mechanical damage, such as scratches or chips. Ceramic washbasins will therefore be particularly suitable where there are young children, who will certainly drop something heavy onto the basin more than once. Sudden changes in water temperature do not bother them, and such basins are easy to keep clean — they do not require special care.

A colourful ceramic washbasin is an excellent choice if you are looking for an original form and, at the same time, a practical bathroom washbasin. This way, you will gain not only a striking interior decoration, but above all functional fittings that will likely serve you reliably for many years.
