How do I choose between a countertop, wall-hung and pedestal basin?

Think about how much visible floor space you want and whether you need storage. Countertop basins, such as the Affine Rectangular 460 x 325mm or the larger Oval 550 x 420mm, sit on a vanity unit and give you worktop and storage beneath. Wall-hung basins (like the Affine Wall Hung 560 x 415mm model) free the floor and make a small bathroom feel larger, while full pedestals (many at around 550–560mm wide) conceal pipework without the need for furniture. If you want storage, go countertop or if you want a minimal, airy look, choose wall-hung. If you prefer a traditional single-piece look, a full pedestal is a solid choice.

What basin size works best for a cloakroom or very small bathroom?

Aim for a width between about 300mm and 400mm for tight spaces, and check depth so it doesn't clash with the toilet. There are compact options like the Ceramica Acuto at 305 x 255mm and small wall-hung models designed for cloakrooms. You'll also find narrow ranges in the filters (200–299mm and many models in 300–399mm), which are ideal if you need to keep the basin shallow from the wall. Pick a wall-hung or small countertop bowl so the room remains easy to move around in.

How many tap holes do I need and what do the different options mean?

Tap-hole counts on the site show 0, 1, 2 or 3 holes, and each suits a different tap style. Zero holes are for basins used with a deck-mounted mixer on the furniture or a wall-mounted tap; one hole suits a single‑lever mono mixer for quick temperature control; two holes are for traditional separate hot and cold taps ; three holes accommodate widespread three-piece fittings. Pick the hole configuration that matches the tap you want and the basin's intended furniture or wall fixing.

What styles and finishes are available, and how do I match them to my bathroom?

Most basins on offer are modern and white, but you'll also see traditional designs and finishes such as gloss white, fluted detailing, black, brass, copper, crystal glass and nickel. For a contemporary scheme, choose a clean-lined countertop or wall-hung white basin; for a period look, select a traditional full pedestal or a two‑tap-hole wall hung in a classic shape. If you want a feature, a fluted or black basin can act as a focal point against neutral tiles.

Are corner basins a practical solution and what sizes do they come in?

Corner basins are practical when you need to reclaim floor area or fit a basin between two walls; there are dedicated corner models and recessed corner options listed. Options include the Ceramica Veneto Wall Hung Corner Basin at 550 x 390mm and a recessed corner basin at 585mm wide, both designed to tuck neatly into a corner. They work well in cloakrooms or en suites where every centimetre counts, but check the projection from the corner so it doesn't obstruct adjacent fixtures.
