Bathroom Sinks for Every Style and Layout

Before choosing a basin, it’s worth thinking about the layout of your room, plumbing location, vanity type and the style you want to create. Below is an overview of the most popular options to help guide your decision.

Wall Mounted Basins

Wall mounted basins suit small bathrooms, minimalist designs and modern interiors. They leave the floor area clear, making the room feel more open. When selecting a wall basin, check that your wall has the correct fixing points and that plumbing is positioned to suit. Many customers also consider slimline wall hung units, which offer a similar look with a little extra practicality.

Pedestal Basins

Pedestal basins offer a classic look and are ideal for heritage homes, cottages and traditional spaces. While the basin is fixed to the wall, the pedestal supports the weight and hides plumbing. They’re an excellent choice for ensuites, powder rooms and smaller bathrooms where a traditional style is preferred.

Bathroom Vanities

If extra storage is important, a vanity basin may be the best fit. Our bathroom vanities come in a range of colours, materials and sizes to suit Australian measurements. Options include sleek modern vanities, timber styles, corner vanities and traditional washstands. Once you’ve chosen your vanity, you can decide on the type of basin you prefer:

• Inset basins – These basins sit inside the vanity top with a low or raised rim. They’re practical, easy to maintain and suitable for everyday family use.
• Undermount basins – Installed below the vanity surface, they create a clean and seamless look. Because water can be swept directly into the sink, undermounts are popular for busy bathrooms.
• Countertop and vessel basins – These sit on top of the vanity and are often chosen as a focal point. Styles range from simple white ceramic through to aged copper basins and sculptural fireclay designs.
• Accessible basins – Our range of disabled bathroom sinks is designed for wheelchair access and built to meet AS1428.1 requirements.

What Bathroom Basins Are Made From

Most bathroom sinks are made from vitreous china, ceramic, fireclay or copper. Each material offers benefits:

• Vitreous china – Durable, hard to scratch, easy to clean and resistant to stains.
• Fireclay – Fired at extremely high temperatures, providing a strong, smooth and traditional finish.
• Copper – Naturally antibacterial with a warm, characterful look that suits both rustic and designer spaces.

Common Australian Bathroom Sink Sizes

Most bathroom layouts fit within a standard size range. The below measurements are general guides:

• Undermount basins: approx. 40–60 cm long, 30–45 cm wide
• Inset basins: approx. 40–60 cm long, 30–50 cm wide
• Pedestal basins: approx. 60 cm long, 48–60 cm wide
• Wall mounted basins: approx. 48–60 cm long, 46–58 cm wide

Choosing Tap Holes

When selecting a basin, decide whether you need one tap hole (for a mixer tap) or three tap holes (for separate hot and cold taps). This applies to both bathroom and kitchen sinks. You can explore our full range of bathroom taps to match your chosen basin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of bathroom sink is best for my space?

The best bathroom sink depends on your room size, plumbing layout and the look you want to create. Wall mounted basins suit compact areas, while vanity basins provide storage and convenience. Pedestal basins work beautifully in traditional or heritage-style bathrooms.

What is the standard size for a bathroom sink in Australia?

Most bathroom sinks fall between 40–60 cm wide depending on the style. Inset and undermount basins usually sit on the smaller side, while pedestal basins and wall mounted basins can be slightly larger. Always check measurements to ensure the basin fits your chosen space.

What are bathroom basins made from?

Bathroom basins are commonly made from vitreous china, ceramic, fireclay or copper. Ceramic and vitreous china offer durability and easy cleaning, fireclay provides a smooth traditional finish, and copper adds character and natural antibacterial benefits.

Do bathroom sinks come with tap holes?

Most sinks include either one tap hole for a mixer or three tap holes for traditional tap sets. Check the product description carefully and match your basin with suitable bathroom taps.

Is a wall mounted basin or pedestal basin better?

Wall mounted basins create a modern, open look and save floor space. Pedestal basins suit traditional bathrooms and help conceal plumbing. Your choice depends on whether your priority is storage, style or maximising room size.

Are copper bathroom sinks practical?

Yes. Copper basins are durable, easy to maintain and naturally antibacterial. They add warmth and character to both modern and traditional bathrooms. You can browse our copper options in the copper bathroom sinks section.

Do bathroom sinks include a waste plug?

Most bathroom sinks require the waste to be purchased separately so you can match it to your tapware or other fittings. Make sure to choose a waste that suits your basin’s overflow configuration.

How do I choose a basin for a small bathroom?

For smaller rooms, consider wall mounted basins, slimline vanities or compact pedestal basins. These styles help keep the room open and functional while still providing an attractive finish.

Can any basin fit onto my vanity?

Not always. Inset and undermount basins require specific cut-outs, while countertop basins generally suit most flat vanity tops. Always review both basin measurements and vanity specifications before making a choice.
