[Felis](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/countertop-basins/felis/) is a compact countertop basin in glazed ceramic, 49 × 38.5 cm and 13.5 cm high, designed for exactly these spaces. ## A tap that sits on the basin Felis has **one tap hole** on its rear deck. It takes a standard single-hole basin mixer, fixed directly on the ceramic. In practice, this has two advantages in a small room: - **no hole in the worktop** for the tap, so a narrow shelf or a slim vanity is enough - **no pipes to build into the wall**, which makes Felis easy to fit in a renovation Choose a mixer with a spout long enough to reach the centre of the bowl. ## Planning a guest toilet - **Worktop depth:** Felis is 38.5 cm deep. Allow a few centimetres of worktop around it. - **Height:** with a 13.5 cm basin, a worktop around 70 to 72 cm high puts the rim at a comfortable height for most adults. - **Waste:** Felis is supplied without waste, so you can choose its finish to match the mixer. Your plumber will choose the waste and the trap. ## A bright finish that is easy to keep clean Felis comes in gloss white. The glazed ceramic surface is smooth and non-porous: a soft cloth and a mild product are enough. Avoid abrasive powders, which dull the glaze over time. ## Matching the rest of the room In a guest toilet, a coordinated set makes a small room look designed rather than improvised: - a [Luz Round](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/led-bathroom-mirrors/luz-round/) LED mirror Ø 60 cm above the basin, which lights the face evenly - a [Vega Round](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/wall-hung-toilets/vega-round/) wall-hung toilet, which keeps the floor clear For a larger washbasin area without a tap hole, see [Evona](https://www.nuevabano.com/en/collections/countertop-basins/evona/).
