The smartest bathroom taps to buy now
Bathroom taps can make a world of difference to how you use your space, but how do you choose between the endless options out there? Much depends on the style of your bathroom: certain taps have a distinct traditional feel while others feel particularly modern. The finish can make a huge difference: matte finishes can work well in a contemporary space; brass feels more classic, while chrome or nickel can fit in beautifully in practically any scheme. When it comes to form, pillar taps are a classic option (though completely baffling to non-Brits), while mixers are sleeker and (arguably) more practical. Obviously when buying a sink or bath, take into account how many tap holes are drilled in - this will determine whether you install a single mixer tap, a mixer tap with separate handles, or pillar taps. You can also mount taps onto the wall (for both baths and basins) for a streamlined appearance. If you have a freestanding bath, you may need to install freestanding taps and shower attachments.
