Inspiring you with beautiful basins

Fired Earth
This British company began back in 1983, selling terracotta floor tiles. Since then they have expanded their offerings to include, paint and wallpaper, rugs, kitchens and bathrooms. They are well known for a more rustic and traditional feel, their aim being ‘to offer products produced with authenticity, creativity and style, and where possible both handmade and produced as close to home as we can manage.’ The basins we have chosen from their site are just a few from a broad range, but are our favourites.

01-Inspiring You with Beautiful Basins

We love this weighty Bastide Open Washstand (looking like a solid kitchen island) with useful storage in the drawers and the oak shelf. We love pieces that help your interior designs flow effortlessly from one room to the next and this would certainly create synergy between a kitchen and bathroom. The countertop basins give it an elegant feel and the colour tones will sit within most bathroom schemes.

The Aegina Stone Bowl countertop basin can also be installed on its own and would look equally great on a floating slate or solid oak shelf.

How cute is this traditional basin? Add some glamour to your bathroom, with the Battersea basin and washstand. The decorative chrome legs are gorgeous and the glass shelf is useful without being heavy. If you have the space, we think two side by side would look very luxurious. Can also be styled in a cloakroom suite with some funky wallpaper offsetting its clean lines.

Fired Earth also produce this modern range, the Lonsdale rectangular basin. Clean, masculine lines are paired here with very square taps, keeping everything very simple and uncluttered. The wall hung basin also creates the illusion of more space in your bathroom and the deep width at the back is perfect for storing your luxury hand washes and creams.

Villeroy & Boch
This French brand was established in 1748. Technology and innovation are at the heart with the company operating on 6 guiding principles – ‘Tradition, quality and authenticity: the classic Villeroy & Boch attributes which give consumers support and guidance. Innovative power, style and design: the values which inspire people and give them the freedom to design their homes according to their own individual taste.’ They have been innovating for 267 years and produce tableware, tiles and kitchens, as well as bathrooms. Again, the basins featured here are just a small selection from a wide variety.

The Architectura range is sleek, shiny and a great addition to any modern bathroom. These countertop basins look great here with a couple of floating shelves and hi-rise deckmounted taps. They lend themselves well to creating a hotel-style bathroom.

This slightly squarer countertop basin is also from the Architectura range. Mix and match for main bathrooms and ensuites to differentiate between the room styles but still have style synergy between them. In this picture a wall mounted tap has been used to utilise the space better.

Also on our must-have list are these countertop basins from the Artis range which have a slightly more organic shape. They also feature the new TitanCeram material, which enables Villeroy & Boch to create products with unique forms and extreme thinness. The Artis frame is only 8 mm thick, making the sinks look extremely delicate and elegant. Here they have used countertop taps, installed centralized to the basin to create symmetry and accentuate the basins’ beautiful curved sides.

And if you’re looking for a modern unit with slick built-in storage, then look no further than the Aveo New Generation range. Designed by UK-based Conran & Partners design studio exclusively for Villeroy & Boch and featuring Pure Oak and Dark Oak real wood veneers. And its CeramicPlus surface coating provides superior cleaning convenience with dirt and limescale simply rinsing away with water. With our busy lives, we won’t say no to that.
