– If you’re looking for a stylish and modern look, ‘Over the counter’ wash basins are the way to go! Make sure it’s set in a way that allows easy access to the basin.
– ‘Under the counter’ basins are also a good alternative, as it’s easier to clean them. The rim isn’t visible, as the basin is fitted in the counter itself.
