Hello,
I just read that the standard height for washbasins is 85 cm (top edge of the ceramic).
That surprises me.
I am short, 1.60 m (5 feet 3 inches), and we currently have a washbasin at 90 cm (35 inches). That is more than deep enough, in my opinion.
My elbows are well above it, and why would I want to bend down further?
What advantages would there be to hanging the basin lower?
I’m not planning to wash my knees in it…
Please enlighten me.
Regards

Oh man, after all the kitchen height calculations, now also the sink and toilet...
You’re absolutely right, I just added that to my big “planning points” list so I don’t forget – thanks for the suggestions!
I’m curious what the ‘shorter’ person in the household will say about this – when it comes to the kitchen, they actually prefer it a bit higher than usual for them...
For the toilet, I agree as well, a “senior-friendly” height!
