Cloakroom Countertop Basin Overhang Dilemma

Home Owner

2 years ago

we have a cloakroom where the countertop is very narrow, just 23 cm in width.

we want a luxury looking basin but there are hardly any that are of that size.

we are thinking of getting a countertop basin which will overhang the top and the one we like has width of 35 cm.

will it look odd? the basin will match the rest of the cloakroom and is exquisite.

Personally I think if you are renting the house you need to do two things. Firstly keep the cost down as you will see no return on things like buying a built in washer dryer- definitely put it in the cloakroom if there is space because the extra cost for a built in washer plus door will be less than some additional plumbing in the cloakroom. I would also make the island visually bigger assuming there is room for a dining table in another room. I would also get rid of the bench seating the shelving above the seat, the storage in the knob, the extra cabinet behind the fridge. I would downgrade the ovens and let your tenants buy a microwave for on the counter. I agree with the earlier comment about induction rather than gas.

@rinked Thanks, good idea - i'll see what it looks like later. @Suzanne C thank you for sharing your experience and pictures. We'll be going out for quotations once our planning is granted so i'll make sure i get a cost for wet UFH. I think it would be the preferred route with the warmth underfloor and extra wall space is always good in open plan extensions. @minipie Thank you. The software really is great once you get to grips with it. We've started to obtain budget costs on the roof lights and one company has offered to take us to see a few recently completed projects which should hopefully give us some inspiration and allow us to gain some feedback from previous clients. I'll aim to get at least one opening roof light after all the advice received on this board. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'll look into the small radiator in the bathroom. Good idea. The extract routes are pretty easy as the kitchen hood is on an external wall, as is the utility. The WC fan will follow the existing route above the utility rooms ceiling. Not sure on the subfloor as not taken up any flooring so far but the house was built around 2003 so you'd expect a pretty thick solid concrete slab so it might not be as easy as excavating in an older property.

Could you have one like this which is suitable for a min counter depth of 215mm? i would however centre it over the middle and not sure how that works with all the dimensions plus it depends if youre keeping the wall tiles!!

Is this basin too big?

countertop basins are designed to go on a wider vanity/shelf etc so it doesn’t look right aesthetically to me and not sure if there will eventually be a weight issue?? Would you be having wall hung taps or does the tap also need to be taken into consideration? Could you not change the cupboards or is the marble already bought?
