Once you have the main features of your bathroom sorted out and you have a look firmly in mind, it's time to polish everything off by picking matching fittings. Taps, shower heads, towel rails, drains, soap dishes and electrical fittings will all need to coordinate to achieve a cohesive bathroom design. There are a lot of small details, but taking the time to get them right can make all the difference to the final product. Just make sure you give as much thought to how everything will work as you give to how it looks!
Types and styles of taps
Taps can come in matching bathroom sets, but can also be mixed and matched to great effect.
How to choose a shower head
The business end of the shower. Shower heads are often the most decorative aspect of a shower, as well as being vitally important to the shower's functionality.
Types of shower heads
The shower head you choose will make or break your shower in terms of how nice it feels.
Towel rails
Towel rails come in a range of styles and fashions to suit whatever décor you've chosen for your bathroom.
Traps, drains and wastes
Also called drains and plugholes, wastes are the grills through which water is drained as it leaves your bathroom. Find out what variations exist for wastes.
Soap dishes and recesses
Nobody likes to drop the soap. Ensuring that you have somewhere to put it is not complicated, but it's good to know what your options are.
Instant hot water enhancements
Using hot water enhancements can not only improve the supply of hot water to your bathroom, but also help to reduce the amount of water you waste.
Electrical fittings and outlets
The right electrical fittings and outlets will provide a nice complement to the rest of your design.
Types of bathroom heaters
In cooler climates, you may need a heater that heats quickly and which isn't affected by the room's humidity.
Exhaust fans
Kitchens and bathrooms can become very steamy and stuffy, and powered ventilation fans are an excellent way of providing fast, effective ventilation to these areas.
