With such a wide choice of bathroom taps available from Big Bathroom Shop it can be a bit overwhelming trying to decide on the right style to fit in with your bathroom design, but a good starting point is to first look at the overall shape of your bathroom pottery and choose a design to reflect this. If your basin has soft, curved lines look at bathroom taps which have a rounded, flowing shape to them to complement the shape of the basin. For basins with angular, geometric shapes a tap with square lines will work perfectly well and help to bring the look of your bathroom together.

When choosing new bathroom taps think about the overall shape of the basin and toilet. Opt for bathroom taps that will complement the design of the pottery, for example a basin tap with angular lines will look great with a square shaped basin or alternatively a basin tap with curves will set off a rounded shaped basin perfectly. Make sure you stick to one type of material, style and colour to keep a uniform look in your bathroom. Also think about the style of your bathroom, is it contemporary or traditional? Choosing bathroom taps to reflect this style will work the best, but if you want to create something a bit different such as modern taps in a traditional bathroom it could give the room a more individualised and designer feel. To make sure your bathroom taps make a statement make use of simple fittings and look at taps with an unusual finish such as matt black.

A basin monobloc tap is the most popular style of basin tap and will create a modern feature in the bathroom.

When looking to update your bathroom taps where should you start? There are different types of bathroom taps available, let’s divide them simply to start with into basin taps (sometimes called bathroom sink taps) and bath taps. If we start with the different types of basin taps, these will include:

  • Monobloc mixer taps (for one tap hole basins).  These taps mix the water in the body of the tap and the water flow is controlled by a ceramic cartridge, operated by a handle or lever.
  • Pair of taps (for two tap hole basins). Each tap has a separate water feed and is controlled by a valve mechanism or ceramic cartridge. The taps are turned on or off by use of a handle, or lever.
  • Three hole mixer taps  (for three tap holes oddly enough, the clue is in the name!). These taps consist of separate water feeds for hot and cold water which are controlled by handles, or levers. The water is then supplied through a central spout.
