Bathroom Fixtures: Creative Alternatives to the Same Old Thing

Bathroom Fixtures: Creative Alternatives to the Same Old Thing

Posted on August 12th, 2009 admin 24 comments

Toilets, sinks, bathroom showers, faucets…they’re all pretty much the same, right? Well, they don’t have to be. Whether you want to do your part to protect the environment or just want your bathroom fixtures to get off the beaten path, you have more alternatives available than ever before - and they’re also affordable.

Toilets Traditional toilets have two pieces: the tank and the basin. If you want a model that’s easier to clean with a lower risk of leaking, a one-piece (or “monoblock”) toilet is the way to go. While these toilets are heavier, and therefore more difficult to move if you decide to reposition the elements in your bathroom, they are easier to install, simple to maintain and hold up better over time because all functional parts are contained in a single housing.

For the green consumer, there are also eco-toilets that help you conserve water. Low-flush toilets can also lower your household water bill, too.

Sinks and Washbasins If you really want to do something dramatically different in your bathroom, handmade vessel sinks combine an artisan’s touch with customized craftsmanship. You’ll have to track down a local manufacturer or arrange to have your product shipped to you, but the rewards will be worth it - you’ll have a one-of-a-kind bathroom centerpiece that’s sure to elicit all kinds of attention and compliments.

Bathtubs A standard of bygone decades, standing bathtubs add a unique sense of dignity to your bathroom. With more and more manufacturers offering contemporary takes on the standing bathtub, these products are coming back into fashion and add a touch of classic appeal for roughly the same price as a regular bathtub.

For pure uniqueness, remember that your bathtub doesn’t have to be rectangular or oval in shape. Corner tubs, keyhole-shaped tubs and even circular tubs are increasing in popularity.

Showers Multi-jet units are the latest craze in shower steam. They pulse water over your entire body, and you can adjust the pressure and timing of the water delivery to create a relaxing shower massage that will spoil you every morning.

Home saunas and steam showers are also a luxurious addition to any household, though they do require you to make a significant investment. These units can be made with built-in chlorine filters and custom tile flooring.

Faucets Just because faucets do a simple job doesn’t mean they have to have simple designs. If you want to add some boldness to your bathroom, you can get sculpted faucet fixtures with dramatic curves, sweeping angles and graceful arcs. They’re perfect for homes decorated in a modern style and come in a complete range of finishes, including brass, stained copper and stainless steel.

Your bathroom is one of the most-used and most-visited rooms in your home. Take the time and effort to make it stand out and you’ll win many admirers for your unique sense of style.
