There’s no escaping the fact that toilets play a key role in bathroom design, and with a vast range of styles now available, it can be tough knowing which is the right one for you. While style is undeniably important, it also makes sense to opt for a toilet made from quality materials that’s built to withstand daily use, as well as deliver a luxurious feel to your bathroom everyday.

You’ll also need to consider whether it fits with the size and style of your bathroom. If you’re working with a small area and want a contemporary finish, then tankless or wall-hung toilets can create a clean and clutter-free look. While larger bathrooms naturally have more space to accommodate traditional two-piece toilets and can give a classy feel with a crisp, white porcelain toilet, modern styles can work equally as well. And don’t forget the little extras like a quiet-close lid or an easy-clean glaze to give your bathroom the perfect finish.

With your toilet decided on, it’s now time to think about the surrounding decor. This is where your choice of bathroom tiles will make all the difference. With a great deal of variety available when it comes to tiles for bathrooms, from natural stone to wood-effect, you can create all kinds of looks. But if you really want an opulent and timeless finish, marble bathroom tiles are ideal for both floors and walls.

In contrast, using white bathroom tiles will give a clean and stylish finish in any size bathroom, so even your small bathroom can look bright and airy. You can also add colour with bathroom wall tiles to create a stunning feature wall that complements the shades used throughout the space.

Your bathroom taps will all be part of the finishing touches to your design and can make a significant impact on the overall appearance. For this reason, you should think about matching your bathroom suite with your taps – pairing contemporary designs or traditional styles to create a unified look. Also, be sure to choose quality materials to create a luxurious aesthetic, whether you fancy vintage bronze taps for a period bathroom or shiny chrome for a modern design. And don’t forget to factor in the type of taps you want – whether that’s wall or sink-mounted, single or mixer.

While these are key design elements to consider, always remember that the secret to your dream bathroom is all about using quality materials and marrying each design aspect together, from the toilet and bath suite to linens and furniture.
