It wasn’t long ago that black bathroom basins were seen as nothing more than an emerging trend in the world of bathroom design. Much has changed since then and they are now seen as a mainstay, fully established as one of the more popular choices for homeowners in New Zealand. With many options available, there are a few that stand out from the crowd as exceptional choices for those looking to capture an especially bold aesthetic.

There’s something about a black bathroom basin that is so compelling to the eye. Perhaps it's the timeless contrast against the traditional look of the white bathroom. Perhaps it's the drama of its presence and one’s inability to look away. Perhaps it's the contemporary appeal and luxurious vibes that feel so fresh. Whatever the reasons, this striking selection of black bathroom basins represents the best of the best in our view and are options to shortlist if this is a style you’re keen to embrace.
