Whether you are modernising an existing bathroom or creating something new, the major part of planning a new bathroom will revolve around your choice of bathroom suite. There is a huge range of beautifully stylish bathroom suites to choose from, with many design options in both traditional and contemporary style.

In most cases when you are buying a bathroom suite it will have three basic elements, the toilet, a washbasin, and a bath or shower unit. Stand alone shower units are increasingly popular, because they tend to take up less space than a bath, and being more suited to modern hectic lifestyles.

Useful tips when buying bathroom suites

Here are a few tips that might come in handy when your buying your next bathroom suite:

• You need to check carefully what items of sanitary ware you are getting in the price. A four piece bathroom suite may, in fact, only refer to a sink with its separate bowl and pedestal and a toilet with its bowl and cistern. Together, these can make up what is referred to as a four piece set.
• Beware that with most lower cost bathroom suites the bath-tub will be made from pressed plastic. Very cheap bathroom suites can be made from very thin plastic which can result in damage and scratching. Higher price suites are generally made from porcelain, a high quality and very durable material. A definite case of pay your money take your choice! Economy suites can prove to be a false economy in the long run.
• Fee standing baths are very popular. It is important to take careful measurement of your bathroom space to ensure you have sufficient space to accommodate it.
• A white suite is still the most popular colour being easy to match with any bathroom furniture and fittings, and blend with whatever décor you may choose.

Once you have decided on your bathroom suite you can turn your attention to sourcing bathroom furniture such as bathroom mirrors, bathroom televisions, bathroom accessories and bathroom tiles.

All of these ideas are available to view at Ocean Bathroom’s fully working showroom. We also offer a full Bathroom design and planning service in which you can create your dream luxury bathroom in a 3-dimensional model. The screen based planning gives a great visual idea of what your bathroom will look like before you make a final decision.
