Inset Basins

Refined and space-smart, inset basins are a timeless choice for Australian bathrooms. Designed to sit partially below the vanity benchtop, these basins offer a seamless and understated look while providing practical daily use. At Blue Leaf Bathware & Tiles, we stock a curated range of inset basins to suit modern and classic interiors alike.

What Is an Inset Basin?

An inset basin—also known as a drop-in basin—is installed with its rim sitting just above the counter surface while the bowl is recessed below. This hybrid design offers the visual integration of an undermount basin with the ease of top-mount installation.

Benefits of inset basins:  

• Clean and minimalist appearance

• Suitable for laminate and stone benchtops

• Easy to install and access for maintenance

• Prevents water overflow onto cabinetry

• Compatible with a wide range of vanities

Why Choose Inset Basins?

Inset basins are a great choice for bathrooms where both aesthetics and practicality matter. They are especially suited to family bathrooms, powder rooms, and ensuites, thanks to their balance of form and function.

Practical advantages:

• Keeps benchtops tidy and splash-free

• Easier to clean than above-counter basins

• More accessible for children and older users

• Offers a sleek yet subtle visual finish

Styles and Shapes to Suit Every Space

Our range of inset basins includes a variety of shapes, sizes and finishes to help you find the right fit for your bathroom layout and style.

Round Inset Basins

Perfect for soft, organic interiors, round inset basins provide a gentle silhouette that pairs well with curved tapware and accessories.

Oval Inset Basins

Oval inset basins offer a slightly elongated shape, ideal for compact vanities or spaces that need a little extra bowl length.

Rectangular Inset Basins

Clean, angular and contemporary, rectangular inset basins are a popular option for modern bathrooms with a minimalist or architectural feel.
