If you spend the time (and the money) getting together the perfect bathroom, surveying sites like this, checking out bathroom suppliers and making sure everything is just so, it’d be shame to compromise on the little things that make a big difference. Like taps.
If you take your bathroom taps for granted it can throw your whole bathroom into disarray. Okay, so perhaps it won’t be that bad! But take our word for it, it’ll niggle away at you. (It’s not just dripping taps that keep people awake at night; it’s knowing they’ve chosen the wrong taps!)
And it’s not just about the aesthetics. We know it’s easy to get carried away with the look of everything. After all, there are some beautiful bathrooms and bathroom accessories on this site. But this isn’t just about throwing your entire ‘bathroom aesthetic’ out because your taps don’t co-ordinate with your vanity unit. (Although it can be – and we’ll come to that later!)
What’s equally important is making sure your taps work for you. As simple and stupid as it sounds – how easy are they to use? We get so used to the way we like things that we sometimes forget what impact change can have. Spent your life twiddling taps the old fashioned way and not about to change now? Then for goodness sake, don’t invest in a lever tap design!
By contrast, some readers only ever use lever type taps (for reasons of ease and convenience). They’re a great choice for anyone who finds conventional taps cumbersome and hard to use. Great for kids. Readers with problem joints, arthritis or other muscular ailments should find out how much easier a new set of taps can make your life! And even then there are plenty to choose from. Think about the ergonomics of your environment. What set of taps will create the best fit with your existing bathroom suite? Flip or twist type taps? It’s up to you!
All that being taken care of now, we can start thinking aesthetics! It doesn’t matter which of our carefully chosen bathroom suppliers you favour; we’re prepared to vouch for the quality and design credentials of them all. Take a look and you’ll see an awful lot of taps! Common to them all though is a commitment to the design requirements of the modern bathroom. That is to say: strong, clean lines and shades, sweeping curves and form and functionality in abundance.
Bathroom taps, like bathroom basins and bathroom suites are designed to be used every day. That means they’re designed to withstand a lot of wear and tear and still maintain their good looks. Typically manufactured from solid brass, then coated in chrome, you can rest assured that whether you favour a classic or contemporary design, the standards in quality are the same. Our suppliers’ stock in trade is the elegant, functional, durable bathroom tap.
So, all that’s left is for you to tap in ‘taps’ and see what you can find! With ever more inventive variations on the basic theme to choose from, you can finally find the perfect finishing touch for your bathroom. No more sleepless nights!© Bathroom Furniture.org.uk 2006
