Caroma Luna Lever Chrome Wall Basin Set

Your basin tap is one of the most-used things in your bathroom, so it's worth getting right. Here's how to find one that looks great and works perfectly.

1. Check your basin type first

Your basin style decides which taps will work. Above counter basins usually need tall basin mixers or wall-mounted taps, while undermount and inset basins pair nicely with short basin mixers on the benchtop. Check if your basin has tap holes already drilled, or if you'll need to go wall-mounted.

2. Pick your mounting style

• Benchtop-mounted: Taps sit on the vanity beside your basin – easy to install and practical for daily use.
• Wall-mounted: Fixed to the wall above the basin for a clean, modern look and easier cleaning around the basin.

3. Get the height right

Taller basins need taller taps so you're not awkwardly reaching down. Lower or undermount basins work better with shorter mixers. Just make sure the spout reaches comfortably into the basin without water splashing everywhere.

4. Choose a finish you love

Matte black, brushed nickel, brushed brass and gunmetal add personality and hide fingerprints and water marks beautifully. Try to match your tap finish to your towel rails, shower heads and accessories so everything feels connected.

5. Match your bathroom's vibe

Clean, angular taps suit modern spaces. Curved or traditional designs work better in classic bathrooms. Coastal or minimal styles pair beautifully with simple tapware in softer finishes.

6. Set a realistic budget

Good basin mixers usually sit between $150–$600+, depending on the brand and finish. It's worth spending a bit more on quality. After all, you'll be using this tap several times a day, and a well-made one lasts years.
