Instantly Update Your Bathroom Without Splashing The Cash

Feb. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- New bathroom taps are a great way to instantly revamp an existing bathroom especially if you are on a budget and the right style can make a huge difference to the bathroom and create a stunning new focal point.

When deciding on what kind of bathroom taps you would like think about the overall shape of your bathroom pottery. Choose taps that are going to complement the design of the basin, opting for an angular shaped tap will look great with a basin with these lines, alternatively if your basin has a curvaceous shape choose a tap to reflect this. Making sure you keep to one type of material and finish such as polished or brushed chrome and the same style and colour will create a streamlined and uniform look to your bathroom. Also look at the style of your existing bathroom, does it have modern or traditional styling? Choosing bathroom taps to match in with this concept will work the best, but if you want to be a bit more daring opting for contemporary bathroom taps in a traditional bathroom will help to create a personalised and designer look. Using simple fittings with your bathroom taps will make them stand out and also look at taps with a different finish such as matt black.

The most popular styles of bathroom taps include the single lever basin tap, this has one lever which operates both the hot and cold water and are really easy to use and perfect for creating a minimalist look. The mixer tap is another popular choice and comes in various styles including two-hole, three-hole and monobloc versions and have one spout and two levers to allow you to mix the hot and cold water to your desired temperature. If you are looking for an inexpensive option pillar taps are usually the best choice, but this does not mean that the design has to be compromised.

If you have a counter-top basin or a freestanding bath wall-mounted taps are the ideal choice and will give the bathroom a tidy finish as the pipework is hidden in the wall, although installation can be a bit more complicated. If you have a freestanding bath which is located away from the wall using a floorstanding bath tap is a good solution and can help to create a statement in the bathroom. If you have a standard bath choosing a bath filler or bath shower mixer is a good idea as they come in plenty of design options.
