Bathroom vanity tap to left or right of basin?

First_Timer_Ray · Dec 24, 2019 10:31 am

We have chosen concave circular vessel basins in our ensuite that will mean our countertop vessel mixer taps will be a tight squeeze behind, so our site supervisor has suggested we can move them to the side at the rear (like 11 or 1 o’clock if it were a clock face). The question is, which side? We are both right handed if that makes a difference. Does anyone have photos of theirs and can relate how they like/dislike it?
Many thanks.

I am right handed and I am thinking of which hand do i usually use to turn on the tap and it is my right hand.
So probably i will put it on 1o'clock so that my right hand doesn't need to reach to 11o'clock to turn on the tap.

Maybe you can have a think and see which works?

I'll try and find pictures of our last house, but if you are having double vanities then I'd put the left hand bowl at 10:30 and the right hand bowl at 1:30.
That way it's symmetrical and keeps the inside section of bench clear of taps and more open

On the outer sides sounds good, as there is more space between the bowls than on the outer edges anyway. I just haven’t found any photos to show it done this way.
