Taps may seem like an incidental feature when you are choosing what you want in your bathroom, but you’d be surprised at how bathroom taps can influence your bathroom style. Taps are a necessary feature of every bathroom, and now there is as wide a choice of style and shapes as there with so many other bathroom fixtures and fittings.
Some people make a design feature out of their bath and basin taps because they know how much style specially selected taps can add to any bathroom. At one time interest was focused on manufacturer’s name on sinks and baths rather than on the taps. Now that emphasis has changed and a growing number of people make their taps a major feature of bathroom style. People are a lot less bothered about the brand name on your basin and toilet than they are on fashionable bathroom taps.
There are branded and unbranded taps, as you will see when you start surfing or you visit the show rooms. Very often there is very little difference between the branded versions and the store or website’s own brand other than the price. It seems to be common practice for manufacturers to mimic the designer’s look as closely as possible and impossible for anyone else to tell unless you explain the difference. One of the reasons there is a lot more focus on taps relates to quality issues, most people don’t want to have to change a washer on a dripping tap every week as they don’t have the time. Most modern taps are very well made and a lot less likely to leak water all over the place.
There is a wide range of models available in different materials and with different types of top. You can get taps with a simple pillar top, lever taps or mixer taps; you can even get mixer taps for over the bath showers these days. Some manufacturers will create a certain type of tap to go with a particular bathroom suite, so there are plenty of options for people who want bathroom taps that will influence their bathroom style. Whether you want a simple tap or an elegant, Victorian styled tap in gold, there is sure to be something that will make your bathroom looks its best.
When you are redesigning your bathroom, be sure to pick the kind of taps that will fit in with the overall style that you have chosen. If you have a lot of stainless steel then ideally your bathroom taps should compliment this theme. On the other hand, if you decide to have a lot of wood in your bathroom, then brass or gold coloured bathroom alternatives will be the ideal soul mate for the wood. Only you can decide whether you want the standard hot and cold taps, or whether you want mixer taps. Whatever taps you finally choose, they should fit well with the rest of your bathroom furniture. A great looking bathroom is the crowning achievement of any home.
