I have a bit of a thing for basins with washstands. Mmmmmm, yes. Here are my top ten reasons why they add a bit of Modern Country Style to any shower or bathroom.
1) Basins with washstands provide substance to the room, without looking cumbersome.
2) The clean lines are simple and elegant.
3) A good quality washstands will add a feeling of quality to even a cheap basin.
4) They add character to a new-build.
5) Washstands take up very little floor space.
6) They make any small space look larger by creating an illusion of an extra item in the room.
7) They can provide a space to hang a towel.
8) They can help draw attention away from ugly plumbing.
9) They are an easy way to add period charm.
10) The reflective surface bounces light around the room.
The only problem is all these are on the super-large size.
As far as I know, and after extensive research, there's only one small basin with a gorgeous washstand available.
Guess what I'll be sharing tomorrow?

ReplyDeleteI found irony in the fact that they draw attention away from ugly plumbing.
Girl! you have NOT see ugly plumbing.
The plumbing in these photos is gorgeous compared to our pvc plumbing. That is why there is a cupboard under my bathroom sink. :)
Can't wait to see what your show off tomorrow.

As someone who lives in a teeny tiny house, I love the additional feeling of space that a washstand gives to a bathroom! Our current sink is so clunky and ugly – I would totally melt in a puddle of love if I owned one of these beauties!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful examples, specially numbers 6 and 9.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!

Hi Sarah~
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful bathrooms, and I especially love the last and second to last photos! :)
I hope you are having a lovely week!

I know, they are so pretty. Maybe not the most practical since they lack storage, but they do give a nice air. In sweden it is more or less impossible to find any at a reasonable price, just one or two have them and it is special order...
ReplyDeleteI have a washstand with chrome legs in my new bathroom and it's quite the most beautiful thing. You can see it here:

ReplyDeleteWhen planning for a bathroom makeover, there is a lot of things to keep in mind. For example, a bathtub is not just for washing purposes. In a modern bathroom, your preference for a bathtub should be for improving the look and design that can help you to take a highly rejuvenating bath experience. You will have to decide between two major bathtub types that are a single ended bath and a Double Ended Shower Bath.
