Whether you’re choosing between showers and bathtubs, undermount and countertop washbasins or floor-mounted and wall-hung WCs, the world of bathroom fittings can seem vast and intimidating. But don’t fret—we’ve done the research for you to help you get started.
Shower and bath
A handheld shower
Versatile and easy to maneuvre, handheld showers are ideal for households with children and pets. As opposed to fixed overhead showers, the handheld variation can be moved around with ease for a targeted clean. If you need the handheld’s practicality but long for the soothing simplicity of an overhead shower, we recommend opting for a handy combination of the two.
An overhead shower
While it’s not the most versatile of options, an overhead shower has one certain advantage: it looks remarkably sleek and minimalist. If you don’t feel the need to have a handheld shower within reach, opting for a simple overhead shower will open up your bathroom and reduce clean-up, eliminating unnecessary components from your shower cabin.
A stand-alone tub
Looking for that full-on spa ambience? A stand-alone tub can work wonders on a drab bathroom environment, glamming it up with little effort for a more soothing atmosphere. The one downside of a bathtub is that it doesn’t give you the option to stand up and get a quick rinse without making a mess of the whole bathroom, so do keep that in mind when choosing your fixtures.
