Bathroom Renovation Guide
Products explained
The products you choose are the key features of your bathroom. Whether you opt for functionality, personality – or something in between! – explore our range of high quality products from around the world.
Basins
There's more to choosing a basin than just shape and colour. Depending on the type of vanity and the space, a basin might be best above counter, inset or even semi inset.
Tapware
Tapware is one of the key features that shape the aesthetic of a bathroom. Some things to consider are the size of your vanity, the scale next to your basin and how much impact you'd like to create.
Toilets
Depending on the space available and the style of your bathroom, a close-coupled, a wall hung or back-to-wall pan with a hidden cistern toilet might suit.
Showers
Your shower has the power to transform your day, and is a high-traffic area of the bathroom. With many varieties including rail shower, twin shower and overhead rainfall showers, find the right solution for you.
Vanities
Vanities increase functionality in your bathroom by providing useful storage. Look for deep shelving, drawers, and easy to open doors to keep your everyday essentials in order.
Baths
If you are planning on including a bath in your bathroom, consider the size and shape of your available space to help you determine what will work for you. With petite options now available, even the most compact of spaces can enjoy an indulgent bath.
