Small Retro Handwash Basin in Bermuda Blue

Maximise your space with this charming Bermuda blue handwash basin. Manufactured by Ideal Standard, this compact basin features an elegant, soft-round silhouette that was a hallmark of 1980s functional design. Finished in the iconic “Bermuda Blue”—a rich, saturated sky blue—this basin offers a more vibrant and spirited alternative to the muted pastels of the era.

Compact Design for Small Spaces

The small-format dimensions of this basin make it an ideal choice for a variety of challenging layouts:

• Cloakroom Specialist: With a width of just 38cm and a shallow 33cm depth, this basin is specifically designed for under-stairs cloakrooms, narrow en-suites, or compact guest bathrooms.

• Minimalist Aesthetic: The rounded bowl provides a clean, uncluttered look that remains visually light, preventing small rooms from feeling overcrowded.

• Pillar Tap Layout: The basin features a classic 2-tap hole configuration, allowing you to pair it with traditional or contemporary pillar taps to match your decor.

Condition and Restoration

As a genuine reclaimed item, this basin has been carefully salvaged and inspected to ensure it is ready for a second life:

• Good Overall Condition: The vitreous china has been professionally cleaned to revive the depth of the Bermuda Blue glaze.

• Structural Integrity: Guaranteed to be free from chips or cracks, ensuring a hygienic and watertight installation.

• Lustrous Finish: The glaze remains bright and smooth, retaining the high-quality finish for which Ideal Standard is renowned.

Why Choose Bermuda Blue?

Bermuda Blue was one of the standout “fashion colours” of the 1980s. Because it is a discontinued shade, finding a high-quality Bermuda blue handwash basin is essential for homeowners looking to repair an existing suite or for designers creating a nostalgic, “maximalist” interior. It pairs exceptionally well with white tiling and chrome or gold hardware.
