Grange Design, UK-based bathroom industry brand, is embracing the micro-luxury trend where small-scale basin taps are providing a touch of luxe in today’s bathroom.

Proving that designer form and function isn’t all about size, the latest research confirms that having a second bathroom remains a favourite amongst UK homeowners, increasing property prices by up to 6%. Typically compact in size, small bathroom spaces like the downstairs cloakroom or ensuite can be just as functional and stylish as the main bathroom, they just require meticulous planning to achieve the desired results. 

From function and user ergonomics to design aesthetics and unseen product features, choosing the right basin taps is critical for ensuring a robust and user-centric bathroom experience. Whether classic or traditional, the micro-luxury trend not only considers the style and finish of the taps, but also their size, handles, and installation requirements. Helping you to better determine the type of basin to go for such as corner, wall hung, or compact vanity basins with integrated storage, micro-luxe basin taps are your answer to a superior wash routine.

Clive Griffiths, manager at Grange Design recommends, “The compact bathroom is under the spotlight as the desire for a second wash space continues to rise in popularity. When it comes to the design of tap, slim and tall mono basin mixers with single or dual lever controls are a great choice for adding form and function to a bijou basin area. If we look at style, then durable tap finishes in contemporary matt black and chrome remain hot favourites in the bathroom, as they complement principal design features to evoke luxury on a smaller scale.”

The Atlantic Collection by Grange Design is ideal for compact bathroom spaces thanks to its pared-back style and well-defined silhouettes. Manufactured from solid brass and available in either Chrome or Matt Black finish options, the range of Atlantic basin mixers are your best introduction to the micro-luxury trend. Choose from:
