Bathrooms, since the advent of the BHK housing concept, have played a crucial role in defining the overall aesthetics – the charm, the elegance or simply the likeliness of a property that is there in other spaces. Yet, they remain one of the most ignored spaces when it comes to the interiors. When remodelling a house, we look into every possible detail before buying a product, be it the tiny lights, the curtains, or the colour of the walls. But when it boils down to the bathroom interior, we end up settling for the traditional fittings being used for ages.
The thing is, your bathroom might not be the first thing your visitors see, but it is one of the most crucial spaces. And bathrooms have the power of making a statement of their own; of leaving a lasting impression on the minds of your visitor. Thus, when remodelling your house, you can’t get away with buying just any sanitaryware. You must pay equal emphasis on your bathroom needs: explore every nook and cranny of your bathroom, understand the need in terms of design, functionality and performance, etc. and then choose the right bathroom fittings.
Talking about the prerequisites of buying sanitaryware, it is normal for most of us to be not aware. In this blog, we are going to shed light on the 6 essential factors one must consider before buying sanitaryware for their bathroom.
Space w.r.t Size of Products
Considering the available space or the size of your bathroom is foremost. Choose sanitaryware depending on the size of your bathroom. Else, your toilet won’t look properly finished. For instance, if you have a comparatively small bathroom and you end up installing big bathroom fittings such as a proportionately bigger toilet bowl, it will make your bathroom look smaller than it is. Thus, as a rule, you must ensure that at least 1/3 of the room is open. The ultimate objective is to find the right balance, between the utility of space, ease of movement, and comfort.
Colour and Finish of the Product
Be it your new house construction or remodelling and renovation of your existing house. the need for classy bathroom is definite. On the same lines, below are some quick pointers:
● Choose the right colours. Make sure the colours of your walls, the shower curtains, the door colour and more, matches the overall theme of your house.
● Stick to neutral tones. This will help you save money which would otherwise be spent on buying new sanitaryware or bathroom fittings every time you change the theme of the bathroom. Choose a bathroom fittings manufacturer who offers the entire spectrum of sanitaryware products under one roof: bath, toilet, faucet and sink, etc.
Furthermore, it is okay to be a bit quirky and choose different colours of sanitaryware. But, do this only if you have a basic sense of colour combinations. If not, you should stick to safe colours such as white and black which would give your bathroom a classic and elegant appeal.
Quality of Products
Most sanitaryware products are available in the market, be it produced by a notable bathroom fittings manufacturer or an unfamiliar manufacturer, there are high chances of them seeming identical. Unless you are an expert, you won’t be able to differentiate just by looking. Thus, when stepping out of the house to buy sanitaryware, either seek help from someone who is an expert or buy products from a reputed manufacturer like Vaalve, which you can trust when it comes to the quality of their products. This step will help you avoid investing in sub-standard products.
Style
As said above, Bathrooms, especially these days, are making a statement of their own. It is quite possible for your bathroom and any other space or in fact, the entire house to have a different theme than your bathroom. To sum it up, you are no longer limited by the theme of the house when buying sanitaryware. You can infuse your bathroom with a completely fresh and different theme. That said, the look is upon you to decide. However, no matter what you decide, make sure the look and quality of the bathroom fittings, such as wash basin, wall hung whether sleek and modern, rustic or high tech, has to be the best.
Budget
Ease of Cleaning
The ‘Atal Satya’ that one must remember while buying sanitaryware: the bathroom fittings won’t clean on their own. You’ll have to take over the task and invest time into it. And you’d need more time, effort and money to clean fittings that are harder to clean. Hence, make sure to ask about how easy an item would be to clean before buying them. You can even ask the seller to demonstrate the cleaning process to you.
