A small, narrow, awkward toilet with a toilet bowl and a washbasin is a hallmark of apartments in apartment blocks built decades ago. In old buildings, it was standard to separate the toilet from the bathroom, which resulted in two separate rooms, one of which was really tiny. Single-family homes also often have an additional toilet, acting as a bathroom for guests or children. Such tight spaces require really good planning of the equipment and its thoughtful selection. In this article, we will help you choose the perfect small washbasin for the toilet to create a comfortable, functional and stylish micro-interior.

When selecting a washbasin for a toilet, start with the design
Good space planning is essential, which is why it is best to start arranging a tight toilet with a design – even a simple drawing on a piece of paper. Priority in the planning process is given to the elements that take up the most space in the room, which will usually be the toilet bowl and the sink. Sometimes a narrow top-loading washing machine also appears in the toilet, but it is better to find a place for it in the bathroom, kitchen or hallway (e.g. build it in a wardrobe). When buying bathroom equipment, look at the functional features. The best solution for tight spaces are suspended elements, because they make cleaning easier and add arrangement and spaciousness. Clever products in the “mini” version are designed especially for small bathrooms and toilets. Such ceramics are smaller than standard ones, but at the same time equally effective and comfortable to use. 
Main criteria for choosing a washbasin for a toilet
When choosing a washbasin (not only for a toilet), it is worth considering several factors. The basic one is size . The washbasin should be adapted to the available space. A standard-sized model may be too large for a tight toilet, which is why in our wholesale store you will also find much smaller washbasins that will easily fit in rooms several meters long. Models with widths of 20 cm and 40 cm are popular for toilets.
Another aspect to consider is the material of manufacture. Due to their high durability, resistance to scratches and chemicals, and ease of keeping clean, ceramic sinks have been very popular for years. Functionality plays an important role in the choice. The sink should be constructed in such a way as to prevent water from splashing onto the floor and cabinet/countertop. It may have a hole for the tap and some space for a soap dispenser. Design is also important. Opt for a model that matches the overall style of the interior. For many people, the most important criterion for choosing a sink will be the method of installation . If you like modern countertop sinks, opt for a small model with thin edges. There are various shapes, colors and sizes of bowls to choose from, which helps to match the countertop sink to individual preferences and the size of the room.
Small washbasin for toilet 20 cm – is it a convenient solution?
20 cm wide washbasins are ideal for the smallest toilets in apartments, houses, commercial premises and public utility buildings. Such a mini-washbasin, depending on the type chosen, can be attached to the wall or mounted on a cabinet/counter, which allows for maximum use of the available space. 20 cm wide models often have factory-prepared holes for the tap, which additionally facilitates installation and helps save space. If you think that 20 cm is too small a washbasin for a toilet, you can opt for the popular 40 cm size. A 40 cm washbasin is so compact that it should easily fit in a small toilet. It is worth considering buying a corner model, which you can mount in one of the corners of the room, which will additionally help you to optimally use the space.
