Moving to a new apartment and unsure what bathroom accessories to select?

Are you moving to a new apartment or unit? Do you want to update the bathroom or change the accessories to suit your tastes? Are you confused about the many styles to choose from? It can be a confusing choice between manufacturers, brands, styles, materials and so on. Here are our tips.

1.       The most important thing you should think about is the material the accessories are made from. You should go with a metal that does not rust or plastic where the colour can peel away. You want a material that is durable and looks good, such as; brass and/or stainless steel. Do not go for zinc or plastic or any other kind of metal because the recommended brass and stainless steel material do not rust and are durable.

2.       The quality of the products you choose is vital to the look and function of your bathroom.  There are two questions you should ask yourself when choosing – Is it solid? Or hollow? Of course the solid products are more expensive but as we have been saying it is durable. Though, at the end of the day the decision does depend on your budget. The aim of this article is to give you the best advice to get the best value for your money when choosing bathroom accessories. For example we don’t want you to pay top dollar and get inferior quality products such as hollow accessories.

3.       Let’s move on to style, design and measurement.  There are multiple choices nowadays with regards to style and design. There is round, square, rectangular, oval shaped, crazy shapes and much more. There are traditional styles, antique, modern, art deco, etc. It all depends on personal taste but what I would recommend is that you keep the style consistent throughout the bathroom. For example if you choose square shaped taps, then it is recommended that you choose the square theme throughout the bathroom for example the shower head, towel rail, toilet paper holder, etc should all be square. With regards to measurement, is it a large bathroom or smaller one? Does it have high ceiling or low ceiling? And how will you fill up the area with bathtub or shower, toilet, vanity and bathroom accessories? For example if you have a high ceiling bathroom I suggest going for tall towel rails. If say your bathroom is small I recommend that you don’t fill it with too many accessories and go for smaller sizes such as hand towel rails instead of the tall towel rails to gain more space. Have a wall hung vanity or slim line vanity that do not take up much space.
