Making Tapware A Priority!

The tapware you choose can have a significant impact on your home’s design. Taps can be the finishing touch that can either tie your bathroom’s style together or make it fall apart. That’s why picking the proper shape, design and finish for your tapware is essential.

However, the number of options available makes choosing overwhelming, as there isn’t always a clear winner. The colour you pick can say a lot about what style you’re aiming for, and even small details like the spout’s shape can affect the overall feel of your space. These considerations only add to the difficulty.

It probably leaves you wondering; how can I make finding the right tapware for me easier?

The Vivid Slimline collection by Phoenix is the answer, as their versatile design makes them suitable for any contemporary living space. They’re ideal for anyone looking for practical, beautiful, world-class tapware.

Tips to help you pick the right tapware for your home…

TIP 1

Consider the style you’re aiming for. Are you wanting your space to feel quirky, or are you looking for something more traditional? Tapware that doesn’t match what you’re aiming for will likely look out of place in your home.

TIP 2

Make sure you know what kinds of taps are out there. There are so many varieties of fixtures available, with multiple finishes to choose from. Shop around and take your time to decide.

TIP 3

Think about how your space is set up. If you’re just adding a fresh touch to an old bathroom with new tapware, you’ll likely need to choose a similar shape and size to what you had previously. Even if you’re creating a new bathroom from scratch, you’ll need to think about how much space you have and whether the desired tapware will suit it.

TIP 4

Use the WELS rating to help you decide. The WELS star rating is an excellent tool to use when choosing the right tapware for you. It allows you to see how water-efficient a product is compared to industry standards. This system can help you save water and money in the long term.

TIP 5

Take a look at your budget before making your decision. Tap options vary in price, so it’s essential to consider which option is the most affordable for you and can meet your design needs.
