Top Designs Of Bathroom Taps And Tips For Choosing Bathroom Furniture
If you are in the early stages of planning a new bathroom
, these few simple tips can help you choose the perfect bathroom taps, and bathroom furniture, for your home.
Taps should go with your room, functional well and be within budget. There is a good range of styles and designs, with prices starting from budget to luxury. The build and quality of your bathroom taps will have an impact on the overall appearance of the room, so buy the best quality you can afford.
Make sure the taps are suitable for the occupants of the house. Small children or adults with a disability, may find some contemporary taps too slippery to turn on and off properly. In this case choose taps which are easy to grip.
Modern bathrooms need contemporary taps. There are ways to mix contemporary with the old and traditional, and the experts do it well. For designers with less experience, modern furniture is well suited to contemporary taps. Glossy and matt chrome is the popular choice, with ultra modern designs in heads and handles.
Modern bathrooms are a popular choice for todays modern living; both houses and apartments benefit from this style of suite. There's a good range of single and mixer taps for basins and baths, in funky or classic designs. Save money and the environment by having taps with flow limiters, this limits the amount of water that flows through the taps.
Perfect for the traditional home, these bathroom taps are available in classical styles for the modern and period home. With sculpted curves, these taps are elegant and glamorous. If you want a touch of luxury, these are the ranges to look at. There are hundreds of designs and styles to grace any room, giving you a great selection to choose from. Traditional styles never date and will suit your home for years.
The value for money range in taps is functional, clean and practical. If the room needs a no-nonsense tap, and you want to keep within budget, these taps are perfect. Made in modern chrome with optional lever handles, they won't disappoint.
Mixer taps combine the flow of cold and hot water together, so you can get a flow of warm water. Many parents like this style of tap. It means they can regulate the water temperature flowing from the bath taps as the bath fills; this helps to prevent young children from scalding themselves.
For many country, period or contemporary homes, deck mounted or wall mounted taps are a great option. Deck or wall mounted taps are fixed to the wall or floor, rather than directly onto the furniture. Many suites are designed specially to take these kinds of taps. They are an extremely popular design for pairing with stone and marble basins, and central roll top baths.
When you are ready to choose furniture, these tips will help.
Measure your room; this will give you the total area of available space for your bathroom furniture and suite.
Make a plan. You can use graph paper and scaled cut outs of bathroom furniture to plan your room, or use an online programme that is designed for this purpose. Ideal-Standard's website has a good planner.
Choose where to place the furniture; it will cost less to plumb the bathroom suite into existing pipe work. Get an estimate for any new plumbing work before you place an order, so you can decide if it's worth the extra outlay to shift things around.
Decide what you want the furniture to do. Is it mainly for storage or for appearance? The size of the cabinets should be large enough to fit all your toiletries and other accessories. Wall cabinets, or shelves, are ideal for providing extra storage space.
Choose the materials. The furniture is made in solid wood, melamine and laminate. A good way of saving space is to choose wall mounted cabinets with mirrored doors. These can be lit by LED lights and have built in shaver points.
Search online to find a style you like. This is the fun part. Once you know how much space you have, you can work out the measurements of the bathroom furniture you will need and then check measurements of individual pieces of furniture on online stores.
Check room measurements against furniture specifications to make sure the range you've chosen fits into your room without looking cramped.
Set a budget. This makes sure you don't overspend, and you will look at ranges you can afford. Take into account all the accessories you'll need to finish the room. Towel radiators, shower curtains and bath mats will take a fair amount of your budget.
Compare prices of online stores that sell your style of furniture. Stores have furniture arranged in styles, so you can go straight to the section you want to check out specifications, product details and prices.
Before you order check delivery dates, so you can book your plumber to schedule the work for the first available date after delivery.
