Nickel, pewter, English bronze, polished brass, satin brass, gold, chrome… what do these metals have in common? They are all finishes you can choose for your bathroom tapware. And that’s even before you tackle traditional or deco or contemporary styling.

Along with the kitchen, your bathrooms are defining spaces in your the and one of the areas where you can realise the best return on investment, so choosing the right fittings and fixtures is paramount. 

Are you a fan of a free-standing bath? Then you will need to choose between wall-mounted and floor-mounted bath mixers and taps. Growing in popularity are ceiling-mounted bath fillers that allow you to minimise the look of your tapware for a more seamless design scheme.

Similarly, in your shower are you looking for efficiency or pampering, or a mix of both? Shower rail systems usually incorporate a fixed shower head and hand-held showerhead of variable height, making these options ideal for a family bathroom. These systems incorporate a shower diverter that allows you to switch between the fixed shower head and the hand-held shower head. For a touch of luxury, consider installing a rain-shower head from the ceiling for a fully immersive shower experience.

In smaller bathrooms where you want to maximise space, a shower-over-bath setup affords the best compromise. Again, shower mixers and diverters allow you to regulate water pressure and temperature and to switch between the bath and shower without the need for additional fittings.

All of these options can be tailored to suit your design aesthetic, even down to whether you choose a ribbed or smooth shower hose for your hand-held shower attachment. Just remember; basins, baths and showers all require specialised tapware that is fit for purpose.
