Review the proposed basin, tap, cabinet and accessories as one sample set. Record the exact finish for each item and keep the approved reference. Product care instructions also belong in the decision: different surfaces may need different treatment.
| Record | What to make explicit |
|---|---|
| Finish identity | Write the product model and finish code beside the sample. A broad label such as black or brushed gold is not a complete specification. |
| Side-by-side review | Review adjacent materials together and note the lighting used. Record whether the intended result is a match or a deliberate contrast. |
| Sample reference | Keep a labelled physical sample where possible, plus dated photos. Record who agreed the choice and which room it belongs to. |
| Care requirements | Collect care guidance for each chosen surface. Do not assume one cleaner is suitable for taps, furniture and basins alike. |
| Substitutions | If a finish or model changes, show the replacement beside the approved reference and obtain a new decision before accepting it. |
Take this into your next conversation.
- Link each sample to an exact item and room.
- Record coordinated and contrasting finishes separately.
- Save product-specific care instructions.
- Keep substitutions out of the approved set until reviewed.
