The bathroom is the most private space in a home, but the basin seems unremarkable in this space, occupying a small area and having a single function. In fact, the basin has a great impact on our mood. It starts a fresh and happy day in the morning, and washes away fatigue and relaxes our body and mind at night. Therefore, choosing a suitable basin is an indispensable part of the bathroom.
1. Multiple materials
Due to the widespread use of ceramic floor tiles in bathrooms, ceramic washbasins made of matching ceramic materials are the most widely used. Generally, washbasins priced below 500 yuan are made of ceramics, which are more economical and durable, but have little color or shape variation. They are mostly white, and their shapes are mainly elliptical and semi-circular;
Glass basins first appeared in the name of fashion design and have been widely used, giving rise to transparent glass, frosted glass, printed glass basins, etc. They are usually paired with stainless steel brackets to showcase the owner's taste.
The stainless steel basin, together with other steel accessories in the bathroom, highlights the modern texture unique to industrial society. It may be a bit cold, but its personality is very distinct.
The marble basin is made of marble processing, with a simple and bright shape, and is accompanied by a quaint thick wooden bracket, which is very stylish.
The basins priced between 1000 yuan and 5000 yuan on the market belong to the mid to high end products. These products have a wide range of materials and styles, so you can see various materials other than ceramics. The basins made of tempered glass, stainless steel, natural stone, etc. have different styles and exquisite workmanship. For example, a basin carved from a whole piece of black natural marble exhibited at a home exhibition, with a luxurious appearance and several black metal pieces, looks like an exquisite artwork under the reflection of light. Of course, the price is also expensive, up to more than 30000 yuan.
2. Colorful Colors
In terms of color, traditional white and beige are no longer the main characters for solid colors. The trend of personalized home furnishings has driven the personalization of bathrooms. As for basins, color first becomes a declaration of individuality. Colorful colors such as light green, sea blue, bright yellow, pink, etc. have become the color palette of modern homes, expressing the emotions of the owner and making people feel vitality and happiness at first sight.
In addition to the change in pure color tones, the infiltration of cultural flavor also makes traditional ceramic pots in white or ivory color display a noble and elegant temperament. For example, depicting a variety of flowers, birds, insects, and fish on a white tone adds a touch of charm, and there are also ancient Tang and Song poems that make the bathroom no longer monotonous.
The change in material color perception also brings about changes in color, such as the clear color identification of cloisonn é basin, which exudes a classical meaning. However, due to its high price, it is generally used in star rated hotels, and there are glazed glass basins, which have a rich color almost like glass, with a noble feeling of mutual infiltration. It is the first choice for children's bathrooms and design studios.
3. Alien specifications
At the International Home Design Exhibition, in addition to being colorful, washbasins also appear in irregular geometric shapes, including rounded semicircles, serious squares, as well as angular triangles, pentagrams, and even petal shapes, allowing viewers to experience a lot of fun; The popularization of double or even triple pots has made the most effective use of home space and adapted to the fast-paced modern life.
In the eyes of top designers, the feeling of the basin and lake is connected together. This type of product has no overflow holes, is complete and flawless, and the faucet and basin body are combined together. The seemingly unintentional irregular edge shape seems to be a natural lake water. Accustomed to ordinary faucets with flowing water, a sudden glance will make you involuntarily want to reach out and take a handful, as if there is a source of fresh water. This is certainly a luxury.
4. Integrated basin
Traditional washbasins and countertops are often connected together with silicone, which can easily accumulate dirt and produce black edges after prolonged use. On the other hand, integrated washbasins have a strong overall design, are easy to clean and maintain, and can make reasonable and flexible use of space. They can also be freely installed on the wall or used in conjunction with shower cabinets. The diversity of shapes also affects the personality expression of integrated basins, and designers' eyes have shifted to the countertop. The emergence of more geometric countertops such as ellipses and trapezoids has broken the dominance of rectangles, and the richness of colors has made integrated basins more fashionable.
