The demo below configures an illustrative small vanity basin with a crisp 5 mm rim and straight, sharp edges. Choose a glaze and a 450 mm or 600 mm width.
A vanity basin is half of a pair. It sits on a unit made to its width, so choosing 450 mm or 600 mm also chooses the furniture beneath it. The other decision is surprisingly subtle: this basin comes in both gloss white and matte white. Most buyers have never seen the two side by side, and the difference shows mainly in how light falls on that thin rim.

What you can configure
Swatches run through gloss white, matte white, matte black and stone grey, four of six glazes, with 450 mm or 600 mm widths. Gloss white throws a bright highlight along the rim, while matte white keeps the outline soft. Width sits in the summary but the image is the same for both. A production build would pair each width with its matching unit.

Why a configurator suits basins
Basin and unit mismatches are a familiar headache for bathroom furniture retailers. A customer buys a 600 mm basin and a 500 mm unit because both looked right, and neither can be fitted. A configurator that sets the width once and offers only units built for it removes that error at source, before anything is delivered.
The unit then brings its own options: carcass colour, door style and handle finish. Six basin glazes in two widths make twelve basins before a single unit option is added. At that point a configurator is the only sensible way to present the range, and layered imagery lets the basin and unit change independently.
The two whites deserve careful handling. Customers who order matte white expecting gloss, or the reverse, are hard to satisfy once the basin is fitted. Showing both under the same light, with a close-up of the rim, makes it clear the choice is about sheen rather than colour. Buyers then choose deliberately.
How a production version would be built
Basin and vanity unit would be separate layers, shot or rendered from one fixed camera. Every basin can then sit on every compatible unit. A close-up of the 5 mm rim in each glaze sits beside the main view. The retailer supplies basin SKUs and widths, unit SKUs with the basin widths they accept, and the carcass and door finishes on offer. Orders go to a basket or quote. My storage configurator demo shows how cabinet options can be handled alongside.

Questions about basin configurators
Will it stop customers ordering a basin and unit that do not fit?
Yes. Width is chosen once and applied to both, so only units built for that basin width appear. If a customer arrives from a unit page, the configurator filters basins the other way. The rule comes from a simple compatibility table in your product data.
What is the clearest way to tell gloss white from matte white online?
With a close-up of the rim under a single raking light. Gloss white shows a sharp highlight; matte white shows an even, soft tone. In a flat front-on photograph they look almost identical, which is why buyers confuse them. A swatch label that names the sheen helps as well.
Can a thin 5 mm rim be shown properly in a product image?
It needs a low angle or a macro detail. From directly above, a thin rim almost disappears, which is part of its appeal but hides the quality. I would lead with a three-quarter view and add a close detail of the rim edge. Buyers can then see what they are paying for.
Is a configurator worth it if we sell the basin and unit separately today?
Usually, because separate listings are where the mismatches happen. A configurator can still sell them as separate SKUs in the basket while presenting them as one decision. Stock and fulfilment stay unchanged, but the customer sees a matched pair and the order arrives correct.
