Above counter bathroom sinks & design ideas

Contrast your light bathroom interiors with darker focal points for your over the counter basins, or play with colour and bring some life into the space. Co-ordinate your basin choice with wallpaper or floor tiles for a rustic and natural ambience if you want a more traditional look. Don’t forget to consider how the lighting in the room will affect the look and feel of your basin, whether you want to veer towards the more cosy or dramatic.

Colour variations for above the counter basins

With our landscape-inspired Australian colour range to choose from, it’s no surprise that our natural ethos goes beyond the materials we work with. For an airy, spacious look, opt for a bright palette, such as our Bondi Baby Blue or Whitehaven White. 

For a space that feels more grounded and relaxing, choose from our palette of earthy neutrals, such as Barren Brown or Oberon Dusty Pink. And if you want to introduce more colour into your space, don’t be afraid of bold hues such as our Hart Blush Pink or Barossa Vibrant Orange ranges.

FAQ

Are countertop basins a good idea?

Counter top basins are a good idea if you’re looking for a stylish basin solution for your modern aesthetic. If you’re not short on counter space but are prioritising design impact, they’re a beautifully functional addition to your interior bathroom or kitchen decor.

What is an above counter sink?

Known also as vessel sinks or counter top basins; above the counter basins are sinks installed on top of the counter. They elevate bathroom décor with their modern style, whilst leaving ample storage space underneath the counter.

What are the disadvantages of a countertop wash basin?

A countertop wash basin is designed to be a seamless addition to your bathroom, however might not work as well in smaller rooms if countertop space is limited to begin with. In snug layouts it can be hard to clean certain parts, so we recommend choosing this wash basin for a larger surface area.

Can you put a countertop basin on anything?

A countertop basin needs a flat, stable surface for proper installation and durability. As long as you have a sturdy worktop or vanity, your basin should fit just fine.

What are the pros and cons of top mount sinks?

The main pro of a top mount sink is that they’re generally cheaper and easier to install than half-height or full pedestal sinks, and they create a striking but sleek addition to your design. The major con is that, like any sink, grime can accumulate around the edges if not well looked after.

How do I choose the right tapware height for an above counter basin?

When choosing tapware for an above counter basin, make sure you look for a tap that’s tall enough to clear the basin rim comfortably. Ensure compatibility with the basin depth, and consider the spout design and reach to minimise splash-back. The team at Sticks & Stone Co. will be happy to provide specialised advice depending on your custom basin measurements and bathroom or kitchen layout.
