When it comes to designing your bathroom, the main elements you’ll need to consider are the fixtures and fittings, and since these will not be something you want to be changing on a frequent basis it's really important that you get them right. If you're starting completely from scratch then you'll need to decide on your toilet, bathroom sink and whether you want a bath, shower or bath-shower combination.
Bathroom fittings and fixtures are anything that is fixed to the wall or floor of your bathroom and will usually be connected to the plumbing. Your standard bathroom fittings are toilets, sinks, baths and showers, but you can also have bidets, taps fixed to the wall, saunas and wall mounted handles and grab rails.
The first thing to consider is the space you have and where it is possible to install plumbing in your bathroom. If you're already starting with a ready-fitted bathroom that you're replacing, it should be easy to see where you can plumb in your fittings, but if not, consult a builder, architect or plumbing expert who knows the building to help you decide where each fitting can go – Houzz UK has a huge selection of professionals you can contact for help.
Space is very important. You don't want to be cramming a lot of fixtures into a small space that can't take them all. For example, not all bathrooms can fit into a bath, and therefore a shower is a more practical choice. When planning a bathroom, you can always plan nifty little features to get around problems, such as built-in shower seats, recesses or showers-over-baths if you don't have room for a separate shower cubicle. You'll also need to think about the placing of your fixtures in relation to each other; you'll want the toilet and sink close, but probably want the shower or bath away from the toilet if possible.
Most homeowners want their bathroom fittings and fixtures to match each other, so a popular choice is to opt for bathroom suites that are sold all together. You don't have to go for this option, but if you do want a seamless look, it may be harder to do so by shopping for pieces one at a time.
The standard bathroom fittings colour is always white, and if you want to keep your bathroom traditional then stick with this. Retro or vintage-style pieces usually mix white with black, gold, silver and varnished wood, while contemporary bathrooms can use all sorts of colours and materials. There are so many options when it comes to each bathroom fitting: do you want a submerged, freestanding, roll-top or claw-foot bath? Do you want a vessel, trough, console or submerged sink? A wall mounted, one or two piece toilet? And if you're going for countertops in your bathroom, what material will you go for? If you pick a certain style for your bathroom then it will be easy enough to go for pieces that fit in with this style, e.g. for a vintage-style bathroom, go for a claw-foot bath, two-piece toilet and a console sink. Otherwise, take your time to decide what style of bathroom fitting you like best for each piece.
When choosing your bathroom fittings and fixtures, remember to look for the little details, such as how the taps are turned on, what the toilet handle will look like and how the plug of the bath works. Most fittings will have set parts that they come with, but you may be able to choose individual parts to make your bathroom even more bespoke. Take a look at bathroom fixture parts to see if there are any that you want to add to your bathroom.
You can find a wide range of bathroom fittings and fixtures on Houzz UK, including baths, sinks, taps and showers in a range of styles, colours and materials. Whether you’re looking for chrome, brass or luxury bathroom fittings, Houzz UK is bound to have the perfect fixtures for your home.
