An art basin sits on top of the counter rather than dropping into it, so the finished height changes. The bowl adds its own height above the vanity, which is worth checking against the people who will actually use it before you commit to a shape.

You also need a tap that clears the rim. Most countertop basins pair with a tall basin mixer or a wall mounted faucet rather than a standard height tap. Our art basin and console range runs from ceramic bowls to concrete look console designs, from Vera Ceramica, Aalto, Nobel and G.Ferretti. If you would rather the counter ran straight into the bowl with no rim standing on top, look at the undermount basins instead, and if the bathroom is too narrow for a counter at all, the wall hung basins solve it.

Our Tampines and Lavender showrooms keep the best sellers and the best-value pieces on real counters, which is the fastest way to judge whether a shape works, and the team will order in anything else from the range. The vanity cabinets on the same floor are what most of them end up sitting on.

Frequently asked questions

What is an art basin?

An art basin is a countertop basin that sits on top of the vanity rather than dropping into it. It is chosen for its shape and finish, and it raises the working height of the vanity because the bowl adds its own height above the counter.

Does an art basin need a special tap?

Usually yes. Because the bowl sits above the counter, an art basin needs a tall basin mixer or a wall mounted faucet. A standard height tap will sit level with or below the rim.

How do I keep an art basin clean?

Glazed ceramic wipes down in seconds, and the one spot worth a cloth is the join where the bowl meets the counter. Getting that seam sealed neatly when the basin goes in is what keeps it easy afterwards, and it is one of the things our team will walk you through.

What materials do art basins come in?

Shapes and finishes vary by model and include console designs in a concrete look from Vera Ceramica. The material for each piece is listed on its own product page.

How much does an art basin cost?

This range starts from $41 and runs up to designer console pieces. The price shown on each product page is what you pay.

Can Homus install it for me?

Our team advises on the cut-out, the tap and the height as part of the sale. If you would rather we did the job, installation can be arranged as a paid add-on.
