Compare Bathroom Fixtures

Choose a faucet with quality in mind.








Bathroom renovations necessitate choosing fixtures such as tubs, sinks, toilets, faucets, lighting, shower heads and towel bars. Consider color, design, quality and comfort when selecting primary fixtures for a bathroom renovation.


Color


Main bathroom fixtures need not be from the same manufacturer, but the sink, tub and toilet should be the same color to provide a sense of continuity.


Design


Choose colors and accessories that match the style of the room's main fixtures of a vintage bathroom. Similarly, select bold linear fixtures that pop when choosing for a modern bathroom.


Quality


You don't need to buy the most expensive faucets on the market, but purchasing faucets above average in price assures superior quality. The extra dollars pays off in the long run.


Comfort








Select the bathroom's primary fixtures with comfort in mind. The National Kitchen and Bath Association emphasizes that toilet height is an important factor. Consider tub height as well. It means the difference between a nice hot shoulder-high bubble bath or a shallow tub of water that is hardly worth the effort.
