Hello,

I have a basic question about the position of the water connection for a washbasin. For a new construction project, I need to decide the location of the connections. The bathroom sink will be installed on a wall between a corner and a window. The wall is 90cm (35 inches) wide, and the vanity unit will be 80cm (31.5 inches) wide. Should the connection be placed in the center? How important is it for the connection to be exactly in the middle? Depending on this, I might place the vanity right in the corner to leave some space on the side for a towel holder. I am not sure how flexible these connections are when it comes to a deviation of a few centimeters from the center.
For cost reasons, the vanity will be one from IKEA instead of the sanitary supplier originally planned (cost difference: 700 euros).

Oh, so there is nothing all around. On the right is the wall, on the left is the window that is 70cm (28 inches) wide, and after the window comes the shower. The washbasin is wall-mounted, free-standing in the corner directly opposite the door.

At the bend of the drain, it should be possible to shift it slightly, so that the basin drain does not need to be exactly aligned with the downpipe. The supply lines would then, of course, also have to be adjusted accordingly.
