Bathroom

Choosing the right bathroom furniture helps maximise storage, define the layout and create a cohesive look across the whole room. Whether you are fitting out a compact cloakroom or a larger family bathroom, there are practical and stylish options to suit every space and budget.

Wall-mounted vanity units keep the floor clear and suit contemporary bathroom designs where a clean, open feel is the priority. Freestanding vanity units offer generous storage and straightforward installation, making them a flexible choice for most bathroom layouts. Vanity units with basins included simplify planning by combining two key elements in one, while combined vanity and toilet units make the most of limited floor space in smaller bathrooms.

For compact spaces, slimline vanity units and mid-range sizes such as 600mm vanity units and 800mm vanity units provide practical storage without overwhelming the room. Bathroom wall cabinets, mirrored cabinets and illuminated cabinets all offer additional storage while serving a functional purpose above the basin.

For colour, black bathroom cabinets suit bold, contemporary schemes, while white bathroom storage provides a clean, versatile finish that works across most bathroom styles.

Choosing the right shower setup has a significant impact on both the practicality and appearance of a bathroom. Whether you are upgrading an existing shower or planning a new layout, there are options to suit every bathroom size, water system and design preference.

Walk-in showers are a popular choice for contemporary bathrooms, offering a spacious, open feel and easy access. For tighter spaces, quadrant shower enclosures and corner shower enclosures make efficient use of available floor area. A frameless shower enclosure creates clean, minimal lines and allows light to flow more freely around the room. Shower trays are an important consideration alongside the enclosure. Square shower trays and rectangular shower trays suit most standard layouts, while raised shower trays work well where plumbing access beneath the floor is limited.

Electric showers provide instant hot water independently of the boiler, making them a practical choice for most homes. Mixer showers deliver a more powerful, consistent flow and are better suited to homes with strong water pressure and a combi boiler.

Shower heads, riser rails and replacement shower parts allow you to personalise performance and extend the life of an existing shower. Shower screens and shower doors are available in a range of opening styles and finishes to keep the bathroom dry while complementing the overall design.

Choosing the right bath affects both the practicality and the overall feel of a bathroom, and the best option depends on your available space, how the bathroom will be used and the style you want to achieve.

Freestanding baths create a striking focal point and suit larger bathrooms where floor space allows. Shower baths combine bathing and showering in one unit, making them a practical space-saving solution for family bathrooms. Walk-in baths provide easier access and are a good option where accessibility is a priority. Corner baths work well in rooms with awkward layouts where a standard rectangular bath would not fit efficiently.

Size is an important consideration. 1600mm baths and 1700mm baths suit most standard UK bathrooms, while smaller options are available for more compact spaces. Style choices include roll-top baths, double-ended baths and straight contemporary designs, depending on the look you want to achieve.

Bath panels create a neat finish and conceal pipework beneath the bath. L-shaped bath panels and P-shaped bath panels are designed specifically to fit shower baths, while MDF bath panels offer a durable, smooth finish. White bath panels suit most bathroom colour schemes, while darker finishes work well in more contemporary spaces.

Bath shower screens help contain splashes while keeping the bathroom feeling open, and are a practical alternative to a shower curtain for baths with an overhead shower.

Choosing the right toilet and basin has a direct impact on how a bathroom functions and how it looks, and the best options depend on your available space, plumbing setup and the style you want to achieve.

Back to wall toilets and wall hung toilets create a streamlined, contemporary finish and make floor cleaning easier by eliminating the pedestal. Close-coupled toilets remain one of the most popular choices for their straightforward installation and wide availability of designs. Smart toilets offer enhanced features such as integrated bidet functions and heated seats for a more considered bathroom upgrade. Black toilets suit bold, contemporary schemes and work well alongside matching sanitaryware and fittings.

Soft close toilet seats reduce noise and wear over time and are a practical upgrade for most toilet types. D-shaped toilet seats suit modern pan designs, while wooden toilet seats add warmth and a more traditional feel to the bathroom.

For basins, cloakroom basins are compact and well-suited to smaller spaces and downstairs toilets. Countertop basins sit above the vanity unit and create a design-led focal point. Wall hung basins keep the floor clear and work well in contemporary bathrooms where a sense of space is the priority. Corner basins make efficient use of awkward or tight layouts where a standard basin would not fit.
