Anyone have a semi-recessed bathroom sink?

Planning on replacing our en suite, one option to create a bit of extra space is to have a semi-recessed sink with shallow ish cupboard underneath. I’m not a massive fan of them, but could be convinced. Anyone willing to share photos?

My aesthetic is fairly classic/traditionally contemporary!

I was originally going to fo for a recessed one, but in the end went slimline.

Dimensions here https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/hudson-reed-1505mm-l-shaped-full-depth-basin.

I brought the units separately.

I really hate the round ones, they make me feel a bit sick physically. Square are ok.

Thank you. I hadn’t really considered squarish ones - are they tricky to clean in corners?

I posted above with my squarish one.

Cleaning isn't an issue, although there is a very slight back lean at one corner of mine which means water can pool if it gets splashed there. I'd brought it and then it didn't get fitted for ages, otherwise I'd have complained to the supplier.
It only really gets used for cleaning teeth and handwashing after the loo, so water doesn't splash much &
I just wipe dry after use, I have a small towelling cloth what gets used to wipe the shower dry after use.

Tbh I'd prefer a rounded one to actually use, but also don't like the way they fit over units.

I'd also prefer a deeper basin, but several retailers said that they are shallower nowadays due to regs to cut down on water usage. No idea how true this is.

I'd definitely recommend going round a few bathroom showrooms to get ideas from their room sets.
