Corner Basins

Corner basins mount across two walls, so the bowl projects less into the room than a standard wall-hung or pedestal basin. This makes them a practical pick when you need a basin but don’t have a clear wall run. Many are designed for cloakrooms, with compact bowl sizes that still handle everyday handwashing and keep the room feeling usable rather than cramped.

Main benefits and common use cases

• Uses space that often goes unused, freeing up the main walkway.
• Helps with tight door swings in under-stairs WCs and narrow cloakrooms.
• Keeps the room looking tidier by reducing how far the basin sticks out.
• Works well with fitted layouts, including Back to Wall Toilet Cabinets, where every centimetre counts.

Design options, finishes, and features

• Most corner basins are white ceramic, with variations focused on bowl shape, rim profile, and tap-hole layout.
• Some designs offer a wider tap ledge to help keep soap off the edge of the bowl.
• Tap-hole formats vary (single tap hole or 2 tap holes), so match your tap type before buying.
• If you want a lighter, more open look, compare wall hung corner basins for easier cleaning underneath.
• For brand consistency across your suite, browse RAK Ceramics corner basins.

Compatible products and related items

• Pairs with basin taps (mono mixer or pillar taps), plus a matching waste (slotted if the basin has an overflow).
• Often installed with a bottle trap, isolation valves, and compact accessories like towel rings and soap dispensers.
• A practical cloakroom option is the RAK Compact alpine white 2 tap hole corner cloakroom basin (COMCNRB2).

Corner Basins help you get a proper handwash space into rooms that would otherwise feel too tight, while keeping the rest of the cloakroom layout clean and workable.
