Bathroom Fittings and Bathroom Accessories

Bathroom fittings are an effective way of adding style and luxury to any home, but when selecting accessories it’s important to balance aesthetics with practicality.

Toilet seats experience regular wear and tear, yet are relatively straightforward to replace; on the other hand, shower curtains may prove more challenging to replace.

Shower Curtains

Shower curtains and liners can easily add an affordable splash of style to any bathroom, while also helping prevent water slashes on the floor and helping prevent mildew buildup.

Plastic and vinyl shower curtains offer budget-conscious consumers a practical, sleek aesthetic while fabric options such as textured cotton add an upscale feel to any space. Look for curtains with lace borders or hand stitching for more formal settings; or choose one in a color that complements or contrasts with tiles or sink to achieve dramatic visuals in the bath.

Consider adding a curved rod or hookless option for more visual space in your bathtub, or choose hookless curtains made of linen such as the block printed designs sold by Saffron Marigold that use fair trade practices and sustainable cotton, making them great choices for eco-conscious homes.

Shower Screens

Shower screens offer the modern alternative to curtains and come in various sizes and configurations. Most are constructed of toughened glass that has been heat treated after cutting for maximum durability.

Lakes Bathrooms’ AllClear coated shower screens and panels make cleaning easier – it repels water, soap scum, and limestone deposits, helping prevent the build-up of limescale deposits over time. Regular squeegeeing with an effective product such as SqueegeeZ is highly recommended to maintain optimal hygiene levels and to reduce limescale build-up.

Static bath screens can be mounted permanently or hinged onto to facilitate easy access to a bathtub, making them an excellent choice for alcove showers that fit tightly within their pre-designed space. Folding screens, on the other hand, fold like an accordion and can take up less floor space; making them great choices for en suite bathrooms as well as when following universal design principles to create showers accessible to people of all abilities.

Accessories

Bathroom accessories can help complete the look of your ideal bathroom space. Available at affordable prices and offering an array of colors and designs, bathroom accessories can add the finishing touches to your dream space.

Rising living standards combined with increasing disposable income levels has resulted in rising consumer interest for high-end bathroom fittings, such as elegant showerheads/mixers.

It can be confusing for an untrained eye to understand the differences between fixtures and fittings, yet both should be understood for their purposes. Fixtures refer to units which have been connected either electronically or physically while fittings can be taken or left by outgoing tenants – making an important distinction because buyers can decide what fixtures and fittings they take or leave when buying property.
