Ideally equipped for a multi-generational family? Visualize the utility of the basin mixer in optimizing daily functionality for your entire family.
Who are the end-users? If the household includes children or the elderly, the mixer should feature an easy-to-operate lever for flow control. Additionally, sensor/touchless taps are an excellent choice. If the household consists only of adults, dual-handle mixers allow for precise hot/cold adjustment according to individual needs.

Basin depth? Small bathrooms requiring compact basins should be paired with proportionately small faucets (oversized faucets will disrupt the design balance). Conversely, countertop (vessel) basins require a sophisticated tall-body mixer.
Choosing a vessel basin? Some vessel basins feature manually drilled tap holes, requiring you to purchase the faucet beforehand to ensure compatibility.
Two words to describe your bathroom style? Discuss the specific style you envision for this special room with a consultant: Modern, Classic, or Minimalist. Based on this, you will be recommended mixer models that align with your aesthetic.
