Designing Your Bathroom

Youve decided to do it. After months, years - only you know just how long - of looking at shoddy taps, the suite you inherited once you moved in as well as the tiles that make the 1980s feel just a heart beat away, youve at last made a decision to totally redo your bathroom. When you say redo you mean take every little thing out until finally its a freshly-plastered shell and begin from scratch. Now thats gratifying.

No matter whether its your smallest area or the sort of palatial water closet where you need to have a chair to rest on while walking between your sunken bathtub and the bidet, now youve decided to leap in to one of the biggest, most disruptive diy jobs you will ever have you would like the finished result to be simply perfect. Or at least as fantastic as your budget permits. But what constitutes perfection for you? Which concept or style or period attracts you most? Do you want pleasingly old-fashioned, fin de sicle luxury or even outrageously cutting edge, in-the-future-well-all-be-wearing-silver, up to the minute modernism? Is it going to be a hymn to clean bright lines and gleaming chrome or perhaps warm, calming sandstone and terracotta?

The possibilities are never-ending but your choices arent. You should choose a starting point, an object or item that fires your imagination then let everything unfold from there. Where ever you start, youll have to choose the collection of furniture, your taps, additional accessories, colouring, tiles, floor coverings, window coverings etc. Luckily your selection of suppliers is nearly as limitless the possibilities, however staying with 1 or 2 can make things easier, not least because your supplier can recommend what goes together and what doesnt and finding the main pieces of hardware (bath, basin, toilet, shower, taps, and so on.) from a single supplier will at least ensure that theyll all fit together once you or your plumber come to install everything.

One option is to go with the UKs largest manufacturer of these items, Bristan Ltd. Located in the heart of the country, in Tamworth, Bristan make a huge collection of taps, showers, shower enclosures, bathroom suites, decorative heating and assorted bathroom extras. From high end to economy, and all with a solid guarantee of quality and service, Bristans goods are split into several ranges, each of which will suit a different style and theme.

Modern contemporary
Bristans Qube range provides a unique perspective on the contemporary bathroom, squaring off some of the more traditional curves, the whole range of basins, baths and toilets is accompanied by taps and showers to suit. If anything its a case of starting off circular at the base and becoming more angular as you move up wards and it provides the hands an incredibly tactile experience every time you turn on the tap. The idea draws a persons vision too with a case of having a contemporary edge without being too self-consciously distinct; a subtle modernizing.

Another subtle, fool-the-eye choice is the Twist range. This suite itself is reminiscent of the angular Edwardian design however the lines are just very slightly tweaked, giving them a touch more sweep and poise; it demands a second look. Then, when you see the taps that are matched with it, almost all convention is forgotten with very square cross tap heads plus a flattened spout jutting over the basin or bathtub. You certainly wouldnt be putting a crocheted toilet roll cover with this.

Traditional
But suppose you choose old-fashioned elegance? What if your hearts desire is to replicate the Victorian effect, including high level cistern and pull chain? Well, Bristan have the perfect taps for you too. Many ranges of them, in fact. First up is the classy and elegant Regency range. Sleek, fat-bottomed and somehow totally reassuring, theyll conjure up the feel of years gone by, simpler times, a golden era. Quite simply, nostalgia; which is rather calming if what youre after is a prolonged, relaxing soak in your rolled edge tub while the scented steam drifts around you. For something a little more assertive, consider the Art Deco. Just as vintage, but more chunky and angular, with hexagonal covers plus a flaring snout giving a pleasurable gush of water while in full flow.

Simple & timeless
But enough of extremes. Maybe you require a look doesn't only isnt dated but also wont date? Therefore, something a little bit plainer and less demanding to look at is needed. Something functional which virtually blends into the background allowing you to individualise them using taps, accessories along with other highlight features. In which case, the Quest or Blade ranges are probably what youre looking for. Intended to be simple and timeless, both offer plain and elegantly practical baths and oval basins. The points of interest will be added in when you purchase your taps and showers. Prism taps look like theyre constructed from various differently-sized cylinders. Oval is just that and wouldnt look out of place in the restroom of a very, very fashionable London restaurant. The Quadrato is all corners, squarer than square. The Java carries a forward-leaning urgency, as if it's diving into the bath or basin; and the swept hole in the handle/grip is pretty funky too. The Pisa takes its inspiration from the well-known tower, cylindrical and slightly tipped over. There's also, naturally more anonymous, less statement-y alternatives like the Club, Crosshead and Lever amounts that might suit you if youre not inclined to produce such a aesthetic adventure from your bathroom.


In the long run, no matter which way you go, decorating your new bathroom will likely start with the choice of suite and fixtures and the other details will usually fall into place. Whatever you want, you can be sure that Bristan have designed a variety of products to give it to you.
