The washbasin is a central and fundamental furnishing element in the bathroom with regard to the style envisioned for the room. When choosing a washbasin, aesthetics and functional considerations should go hand in hand to ensure beauty and usability.
Countertop or wall-mounted designer washbasin
Choosing a designer basin gives the room a stylistic touch that creates a ‘wow effect’. Installation also plays a part in this, among the many available, the most popular are the countertop and the wall-hung versions. A designer countertop basin – whether round (bowl), oval or square shaped – is one of the favourite choices for prestige bathrooms. Countertop basins can be installed on surfaces made of wood, stone, glass or composite materials (Pietraluce, Corian, etc.). Flaminia proposes Forty6 Pietraluce shelves that can support two basins.
A countertop washbasin and a wall-hung washbasin for the bathroom can also be provided as a single product: basins that lend themselves to both installations are becoming increasingly common.
A wall-hung installation is more appropriate when the room is small and there is not enough space to include a piece of furniture. Wall-hung basins, in fact, are installed with just one towel rail.
AppLight basins, available in three sizes and two depths, can be installed either way and come with a matching towel rail in the wall-hung version. With their neat lines, distinctive volumes and extremely thin edges they can be combined with sanitary ware from other Flaminia collections. With their rigorous and pure forms, AppLight basins blend in with any furnishing style.
Special features and originality of a washbasin
A washbasin featuring an original shape or imaginative décor becomes a distinctive feature even in a modern minimalist bathroom. Among Flaminia’s proposals for those who want a very special washbasin is the Spire collection, designed by Elena Salmistraro, a line of countertop washbasins evoking the organic shapes of a seashell. Variable cross-section edges change the perception of the washbasin depending on the point of view, and Spire+, the new version with a relief decoration on the edges, brings to mind the spirals of a shell, becoming a one-of-a-kind object, a synthesis of the designer’s eclectic style and the company’s manufacturing experience.
A modern design washbasin that, even in its coloured, round or oval, version, works well with every style and gives personality to every room.
