If you are designing or redesigning your bathroom, your choice of fixtures is quite possibly the most important decision you will make. Bathroom fixtures are not only a matter of aesthetic appeal, but also of function and comfort.

With that in mind, how do you go about choosing the best fittings for your bathroom? Buildit offers a few expert suggestions.

What to Look For in New Bathroom Fixtures

When you go shopping for great bathroom fixtures, keep the following criteria in mind:

• Style: What kind of a look are you going for? Do you want something purely functional? Maybe a more vintage look, or something modern and stylish? First decide how you would ideally like your bathroom to look, and create wish list of the fittings that best fit your chosen style.
  
  
• Material and finish: Closely linked to your overall look and feel is your choice of materials. Stainless steel is probably the most popular choice for bathroom taps and fittings, but you could also go for materials such as brass or even plastic. Once you have chosen your material, think about your choice of finish – chrome, brushed or matte black, for example.
  
  
• Water efficiency: While you brainstorm your various aesthetic options, don’t forget the practical considerations. Water conservation is important, not only for the environment, but for your bottom line as well. Consider choosing water-efficient fixtures that lead to significant savings on your bills. These could include low-flow taps and showerheads, or dual-flush toilets.
  
  
• Budget: Of course, the fixtures you choose should fall within your budget range. Be clear on your budget before you start looking. You can then arrange your search accordingly. 
  
  
• Brands: You may want to keep certain brands in mind as you search. Choose brands that have a strong reputation and read customer reviews before you make your purchase.
