{"title":"Bao Basins","description":"\u003cp\u003eBao basins bring a considered, material-led approach to bathroom design, with a range that covers above-counter vessels in white, beige and green across sizes from compact sub-400mm to generous 500-600mm widths. The Bao Bath brand sits within a mid-range price band that makes well-proportioned ceramic basins accessible without compromising on finish quality or design cohesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Bao Bath is known for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBao Bath focuses on ceramic above-counter basins that suit bathroom styles from contemporary through to coastal, boho and farmhouse. The brand's strength is in its colour range: alongside standard white, Bao offers beige and green tones that are rare at this price point and reduce the need for expensive custom finishes. Product lines include basins, baths and toilet suites, so a bathroom can be coordinated within a single brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBasin types in the Bao range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current Bao basin collection centres on above-counter (vessel) basins. These sit on top of the vanity bench rather than dropping into it, which creates a pronounced visual focal point and works well with wall-mounted tapware. Above-counter installation also simplifies bench fabrication because no cutout is required. If you are after undermount or semi-recessed styles, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thebluespace.com.au\/collections\/bathroom-basins\" title=\"Bathroom basins at The Blue Space\"\u003ethe broader basins range\u003c\/a\u003e carries those alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes and what they suit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBao basins are available in three size bands: under 400mm, 400-500mm and 500-600mm. Basins under 400mm suit ensuite vanities or powder rooms where bench space is constrained. The 400-500mm range covers most standard single-vanity applications and pairs well with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thebluespace.com.au\/collections\/bathroom-vanities-furniture\" title=\"Bathroom vanities at The Blue Space\"\u003e600-750mm vanity cabinets\u003c\/a\u003e. The 500-600mm options suit double-vanity benchtops or larger main bathrooms where proportional scale matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFinishes and colours\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBao basins are available in white, beige and green. White ceramic remains the most versatile option and coordinates with any tapware finish, from chrome to brushed nickel and matte black. Beige suits warm-toned bathrooms with timber vanities or travertine-look tiles. The green range is positioned for bathrooms leaning into earthy or botanical palettes and works alongside unlacquered brass or brushed gold \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thebluespace.com.au\/collections\/taps\" title=\"Bathroom taps at The Blue Space\"\u003ebasin mixers\u003c\/a\u003e. All finishes are vitreous ceramic, which resists staining and is straightforward to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStyle directions Bao suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBao's collection filters cover contemporary, coastal, boho and farmhouse styles. Contemporary applications tend to use white with clean-line mixers and wall-mounted tapware. Coastal bathrooms suit the beige tone paired with brushed nickel or chrome. Farmhouse and boho directions are where the green basins are most at home, often combined with timber or stone bench surfaces and exposed hardware. The above-counter format reinforces the artisan quality that both boho and farmhouse interiors rely on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTapware pairing guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove-counter basins work best with wall-mounted basin mixers because a deck-mounted tap positioned too close to a vessel can feel awkward to use. If wall plumbing is not an option, a tall basin mixer with a spout height of at least 180mm will clear the basin rim. Matte black tap finishes complement Bao's green basins; brushed nickel or chrome works across all three colour options.
