Inset basins are ideal if you're trying to cultivate that clean, minimalist vibe in your bathroom that has become increasingly popular over the years. Mounted on top of a vanity unit or countertop, you can create your own custom vanity units or even a double vanity unit. Inset basins are also at home in smaller bathrooms as they retain as much counter space as possible and, if you're upgrading from a standard pedestal basin, can increase your storage space significantly.
