Choosing the right bathroom fixtures is a crucial part of any bathroom renovation or new installation. The right choices will not only enhance the style and comfort of your bathroom but also ensure long-term reliability and water efficiency. At Leeva Plumbing & Heating, we help homeowners across Ripley, Belper, and Alfreton transform their bathrooms with expert advice and professional installation. Here’s what to consider when picking your bathroom fixtures:
1. Match Your Fixtures to Your Bathroom Style
Whether you’re going for a modern spa-like retreat or a more traditional country-style bathroom, your taps, shower heads, and other fittings should complement your overall design. Sleek chrome or matte black is perfect for contemporary looks, while brushed nickel or brass suits classic or vintage bathrooms.
2. Prioritise Water Efficiency
Opt for water-saving fixtures like low-flow taps, dual-flush toilets, and eco-friendly shower heads. These reduce your environmental impact and can save you money on water bills without compromising on performance.
3. Think About Your Family’s Needs
Do you need a family-friendly space, or are you creating a luxury en-suite? Consider who will be using the bathroom and how often. A handheld shower might be ideal for households with children or pets, while wall-mounted taps could suit a more adult-focused, minimalist design.
4. Check Quality and Durability
Cheaper fixtures might look good at first, but they may not stand the test of time. We always recommend choosing trusted brands with solid warranties. Quality fixtures made from brass or stainless steel tend to last longer and resist corrosion.
5. Choose the Right Tap Configuration
Taps come in different styles, monobloc, mixer, pillar, and with different installation needs. Whether you’re fitting them to a freestanding basin or a countertop sink, it’s important to match the right tap type to your basin and plumbing.
6. Coordinate Finishes Across Fixtures
For a cohesive look, choose matching finishes for taps, shower controls, towel rails, and other fittings. Mismatched metals can look disjointed, whereas consistency helps create a polished, professional result.
7. Don’t Forget About Storage
Fixtures like vanity units with integrated basins or mirrored cabinets with lighting can double up as stylish storage solutions. Choosing multifunctional fixtures helps maximise space in smaller bathrooms.
8. Get Professional Advice
With so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming to know where to start.
