Bathroom suites are an excellent way to fully fit out your bathroom because all the hard work is done for you. Instead of browsing hundreds of bathroom fixtures and fittings to combine perfectly, a bathroom suite comes ready built by experts with matching fixtures.
With that said, it doesn’t mean the difficulty of choosing a bathroom suite stops there. The size of your bathroom can play a huge part in restricting your options when choosing your suite.
So, what can you do to make choosing a bathroom suite easier? Start by measuring out your room and creating an ideal layout. This should give you a better idea of which suites will work best in your bathroom. The next thing you should do is decide on whether you want a traditional or modern suite.
Bathroom Suites For Large Bathrooms
A large bathroom makes it easier to find a bathroom suite because limitations on space doesn’t usually play a factor. A freestanding bath suite is a great option for large bathrooms as the freestanding bath will provide a beautiful focal point for the room.
Large bathrooms allow you to express yourself a bit more - keep in mind that, space permitting, you aren’t necessarily restricted to either a bath or a shower - why not have the best of both worlds? A walk in shower creates a luxury feel in a large bathroom space and you could create a wet room within it for the ultimate in style.
Small Bathroom Suites
A small bathroom tends to make choosing a suite slightly harder as your options are slightly limited. There are lots of bathroom suites which cater for smaller spaces and these will typically include wall hung fixtures such as toilets and basins and instead of having freestanding baths they’ll usually include standard baths.
A shower bath is a great option for smaller bathroom sizes as they can include a shower option and a bath option in one. If a bath takes up too much floor space then why not go for a bathroom suite which includes and shower rather than a bath?
Awkwardly-Shaped Bathrooms
Some people have those bathrooms which have a sloped roof or weird angles. There are suites with corner furniture such as toilets and basins to help make great use of corners in awkwardly shaped bathrooms. If you do have a sloping roof then avoid high level toilets which have wall hung cisterns which require fitting high up on the wall.
If you really crave an authentic period look but can't physically fit a high level cistern in, then mid and low-level cisterns are available which will still give you the kind of style you were aiming for.
One last thing to think about when it comes to buying a bathroom suite is that there’s a multitude of space-saving units and innovative products that you can choose to make the most of your space.
One excellent example is a vanity unit bathroom suite which combines toilet and vanity units all in one which looks great and can save space and money.
