Enhance your daily routine by elevating your bathroom sink. From washing your face and hands to applying make-up, a basin and the area around it gets a lot of use. Spoil yourself and your bathroom to an area dedicated to self-care.
Consider the basin’s shape, colour and whether you’d like it to be wall-hung, perched on a countertop or integrated into a chic vanity unit, then pair with period brass taps or a modern mixer. Leave space for fluffy towels, soap and accessories and then complete with task lighting and a gleaming mirror for the ultimate in an indulgent glam zone.
