Choosing a New Bathroom Style
No room multi-tasks quite like your bathroom does, it is a beauty parlour, a kid’s water park and a sanctuary, all rolled into one. Not only have bathroom suites got to cater for the needs of everyone in your home, male and female, they need to be easy enough to maintain especially for those busier households. Here we look at what to consider when designing a new look for your bathroom.
Creating the Right Mood for Your Bathroom
For any family the style of your bathroom needs to be practical enough to cope with the everyday hustle and bustle of a morning, electric showers are a popular amenity for busy households being that everyone can hop in and out quickly before getting on with their day. Later on in an evening you will most likely expect your bathroom to miraculously transform into a room of tranquillity perhaps as you unhinge yourself from the stresses of your job or the frenzy of family life by turning on the bathroom taps and having a long soak.So choosing the right style, furniture and bathroom accessories are all equally important to achieve the right mood.
Ideas for Improving Bathrooms
If you’re looking to design and create a new bathroom, or just wanting to update it with a new bathroom suite there is plenty of choice, but your decisions on styling still depend on who uses the bathroom for the majority of the time. For women their preference may be to have a hot corner bath to slip into at the end of a long day and have plenty of places to keep various cosmetics, while men are happier with the basics and may opt for a straight-forward shower.
With the latest technology for showers, the strong flow and consistent heat of the water is maintained ensuring a luxurious shower every time it is used. With mixer showers you can simply control and mix the hot and cold water directly from the taps which is convenient if just want to use the existing boiler, but you usually have to wait for the hot water to come through. With electric showers you get immediate hot water each time as the power heats up the water in the pipe, which is perfect for the summer months when your boiler is off, but can be a bit like boiling a kettle every time you take a shower – so mind your electricity bill.
If you are thinking of selecting a bathroom basin from the wide range of styles of bathroom sinks available, you need to consider the practicalities of a design. Oval or square shaped wash basins have a luxurious appeal to them and natural sculptural quality probably best suited to guest bathroom suites than for busy family bathrooms. Let’s not forget that that the perfect bathroom often has a basin pedestal to finish the total look.
Choosing the right bath for your home again depends on its usage, whether you want an easy-to-use design or something a little more adventurous like a double bath or corner bath that you can share with a partner.
Finishing Touches to Your Bathroom
Finally the best advice is to never compromise on taps, because they are the most hardworking part of your bathroom and need to stand up to all that wear and tear. With emphasis on the finishing touches to a bathroom, picking out the perfect taps, whether a basin mixer tap or the more traditional two tap, can add the final piece to the puzzle giving you the bathroom you always yearned for.
