A tap is an essential item not just for functionality but also for style. The right tap can add a fantastic touch to your bathroom and make it look perfect. However, with so many options available in the market, choosing the right one can be a daunting task. Whether you are moving to a new house or renovating your bathroom, you need to consider different factors. In this blog post, we will guide you with tips to make the right choice.

Consider the Style of Your Bathroom

One of the important factors while choosing the right tap is the style of your bathroom. Start by identifying whether your bathroom is modern, traditional or vintage. Ensure that you opt for the tap that matches your bathroom style. If your bathroom has a traditional or vintage look, you might want to opt for a classic style tap. A modern style tap can provide a sleek and minimalist look, while a more traditional style can add a touch of elegance and sophistication. It is also essential to consider the finish of the tap as it can impact the overall style.

Look for the Right Size

The size of your tap is another crucial factor that you should consider. The size should be in proportion to the sink and the bathroom’s overall size. Opt for a tap with a shorter spout if you have a small sink. Similarly, a larger bathroom sink needs a taller spout tap. The right-sized tap will not only make your sink look aesthetically pleasing but also make it comfortable to use.

Quality Matters

When it comes to buying a tap, quality should be your top priority. Invest in a high-quality product that will last longer, function efficiently and prove to be cost-effective in the long run. Look for taps that are built with sturdy and durable materials like brass, stainless steel or bronze.

Consider the Water Flow

Another important consideration while choosing the right tap for your bathroom is water flow. Choose a tap that provides maximum water flow with minimum noise production. You can look for taps with aerators, which blend air and water to produce a soft water flow. The aerator also helps conserve water, which is an added advantage.

Check for Add-on Features

When it comes to the sink, convenience and comfort matter. Therefore, it is essential to look for add-on features while choosing a tap. For instance, eco water saving features can provide both functionality and save money. Moreover, you can also opt for touchless taps that provide hands-free usage, which promotes hygiene.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right tap for your bathroom can be a daunting task, but with these tips and considerations in mind, you can make the correct choice. Remember to consider the style of your bathroom, size, quality, water flow, and additional features while choosing your tap. Take your time and choose the tap that suits your preferences and adds aesthetic value to your bathroom.

Why Install A Walk-In Shower

No matter what type of bathroom remodel you are considering, a walk-in shower is a great way to upgrade and add value to your home. Walk-in showers are both functional and luxurious. Allowing users to relax and enjoy their spa-like experience with ease of access.

Not only do they offer convenience and safety compared to traditional tubs or shower enclosures. But they also provide an elevated aesthetic that looks beautiful in any bathroom design scheme. In this blog we’ll have a look at the advantages that come along with installing a walk-in shower, from health benefits to financial rewards.

A Walk-In Shower Is Easier To Clean and Maintain

The walk-in shower is increasingly popular! Instead of dealing with a traditional shower enclosure, walk-in showers make it easier than ever before to keep your bathroom looking sparkly and clean. Not only are these walk-in showers modern and stylish. They also have specially formulated surfaces that prevent mold and mildew growth as well as soap scum build-up.

A More Accessible Choice

When it comes to designing an accessible and luxurious bathroom, walk-in showers are a great solution. Unlike the traditional bath/shower combination popular in homes, walk-in showers offer greater shower mobility that can be especially helpful for elderly or disabled individuals.

You can easily add extra safety features, such as heavy-duty grab bars. Walk-in showers also let you customize your bathroom style to your heart’s content while still retaining the accessibility you need.

Ideal For Making The Most Of Small Bathrooms

If a small bathroom is what you’re dealing with, walk-in showers are the ideal way to get your much-needed luxury bathroom fix.  Walk-in showers provide a more open and airy feel as opposed to shower cubicles. They also give a sense of space within the confines of a smaller bathroom.

Since walk-in showers are constructed from materials such as glass enclosures and walls finished with waterproof shower panels or tiles, it is possible to transform any small bathroom into one that looks and feels bigger than its true dimensions.

Increase The Value Of Your Home

Homeowners will find a walk-in shower increases the space and comfort of their bathroom.  It’s also an easy way to create a luxury home aesthetic that potential buyers are more likely to appreciate.

Unlike a small bathtub or shower, walk-in showers are spacious without taking over the entire room. This gives you ample room to relax, as well as the ability to add features like body jets and rainfall shower heads that can make your walk-in shower feel like your own private oasis. Furthermore, with so many types of walk-in showers available today, you’re sure to find one that matches both your personal sense of style and budget. Taking all this into consideration and if you’re planning a move in the future, it’s worth considering how much value a walk-in shower will add.

With the Pantone Colour of the Year just announced, let’s take a look at some of the Bathroom trends you can expect to see in 2023 that include similar colours as part of the MagentaVerse. 

The eight colours that make up the MagentaVerse released by Pantone, 2022

About Viva Magenta and the MagentaVerse

If you’re looking for an exciting new way to spruce up your home, the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2023 is a great place to start! Viva Magenta is a vibrant hue that is both fun and enchanting. Adding this colour to your home décor will create an exciting pop of colour compared to the more pared-back neutrals we’ve seen in recent years. 

Plus, it’s not just magenta that has been carefully selected as part of the MagentaVerse – there are also complementary hues set alongside it which are guaranteed to not only add tonnes of style and charm but also inspire. Bringing Viva Magenta or any of its counterparts into your home will no doubt be one upgrade you won’t regret making.

Why Magenta?

In the past few years, it has become increasingly easy to step back from our busy lives and develop a newfound appreciation of the power of nature. The lockdown saw us re-engaging with the outdoors – we reconnected with our gardens with enthusiasm and care, growing house plants and cherishing our outdoor spaces. 

Since then, enthusiasm for sustainability has kept growing, even for home décor – as demonstrated by Viva Magenta’s beautiful organic product colours. With its natural sources like the carmine-dye-producing cochineal beetle, its vibrant red range strikes a balance between boldness and playfulness – adding a special atmosphere to any space. Red is truly life-affirming; Viva Magenta allows us to continuously recognise that connection in all we do.

Viva Magenta in the bathroom

For those wanting to wholeheartedly jump into magenta, there are many ways to incorporate the colour into your bathroom. Just painting the walls in this bold shade, will completely transform the space. 

Featuring the Artis Basin by Villeroy & Boch

Tile Wall

Using tiles as a feature wall is set to be one of the hottest trends of 2023, and with good reason. Tiles can add instant personality to any small bathroom, providing an unexpected pop of colour or texture that turns a basic space into something truly eye-catching. 

Subway tiles are especially popular right now and they have the added benefit of being so easy to clean and manage. That’s why they work especially well behind a basin or area where spills may be more frequent. 

Plus, with so many colours available that can easily complement neutral colour schemes or stand out against bolder colour palettes, subway tiles are incredibly versatile when it comes to creating the desired look for your bathroom space. Use them vertically or horizontally to create depth, or stick with the classic subway shape for familiar comfort. 

Featuring the Root Vanity Unit by VitrA

Here you can see a colour similar to Pale Khaki from the MagentaVerse on the opposing wall to the tiles that creates a peaceful area of the room where you can keep some of your bathroom accessories. Combining textures and colours really does create a busy yet peaceful space for you and your family to relax in. 

Wall art tiles

Another trend that we’re likely to see more of in 2023 is these contrasting style tiles that feature different patterns that can be arranged to allow a creative burst of colour into the bathroom with little effort. 

Featuring the Vergo Vanity Unit by Crosswater

Similar colours used here from the MagentaVerse are the Pale Dogwood and elements of all three of the green tones. Together they embody a floral flourish that brings nature inside, whilst still maintaining that clean and fresh look.

Combining the MagentaVerse

Featuring the Finion Wall Hung WC by Villeroy & Boch

The MagentaVerse spectrum offers two beautiful, complimentary colours – Pale Dogwood and Plain Air. Together, they offer a serene, inviting atmosphere that can be highlighted with black accents or bronze brassware. Villeroy & Boch provides top-notch collections like Finion and Artis where we’re seeing these shades outshine all others. Herringbone tiles are also gaining more and more attention for their subtle pattern and charming appeal. In the coming year, we can expect to see this trend still going strong! Bringing these subtle tones into your home is sure to bring some colour to those everyday moments.
