To help make building your dream bathroom a little easier, follow our step-by-step guide to find the perfect items and fixtures for you. As you go through, don’t forget to shortlist your favourite items so that you can show your nearest retailer and turn your dream into a reality.
Choose Your Furniture
When designing your dream bathroom, choosing your furniture is an important consideration. Your vanity unit will get used daily, whether you're completing your daily beautifying rituals, washing your hands or stocking up your essentials. Not only does your furniture need to reflect your storage needs, but it also offers an opportunity to display your style through its colour and design. Which of our three modern furniture ranges speaks to you?

Countertop or Built-In Basin?
If Hackney or Camberwell is the furniture for your dream bathroom design, then you now have the option of an integrated basin or a worktop basin. The ideal basin for you will depend on the look you are going for and how you want to experience the space.
Countertop Basin
A countertop basin achieves a highly modern and sophisticated aesthetic by creating a showstopping focal point atop your furniture unit. With the extra worktop space around the basin, getting ready is even easier. Our selection of countertop basins also gives you plenty of shapes and styles to choose from to make your vanity unit your own.
Integrated Basin
An integrated basin gives a clean, ‘all-in-one’ appearance to your vanity unit. With the basin sitting within the furniture unit, this solution saves space and keeps the unit compact while maintaining a traditional basin appearance.
Select Your Brassware Finish
Colour is important when it comes to design. The metallic accent that you choose will run throughout your bathroom, tying together the room, adding contrast to your colour scheme or fading into the background to let the colour of your walls pop. Find the perfect finish to suit your chosen scheme.
Matt Black
This sophisticated dark hue can add contrast to bright spaces, depth to moody spaces and elegance to any space.
Brushed Brass
Bright and golden, this metallic finish brings warmth and chic delight to any modern bathroom.
Chrome
A conventional colour, Chrome can offer a neutral finish that allows other colours in your interior to shine.
Bath, Shower or Both?
Are you an invigorating shower or a soothing bath kind of household? Maybe you want the luxury of both so that you can mix and match depending on your mood. Whatever set-up you desire, find the perfect design for your space.
Showering
Our selection of shower valves and shower heads offers everything you need to create a stylish and indulgent shower experience.
Bath Taps
Complete your bath with our selection of bath taps with the option of an additional handheld shower head for a multi-purpose bathing space.
Single Ended Baths
Enjoy the best of both worlds with our relaxing single ended baths with space for a shower as well as bath taps.
Find Your Toilet Style
Often overlooked when thinking about design, the toilet is an important consideration. After all, it is one of the most used elements within the bathroom. With plenty of styles to choose from, a toilet can actually add to your bathroom design, bringing a modern touch to the space. Find the right type of your design.
Close-Coupled
With a close-coupled toilet, the toilet bowl and cistern are closely connected. This allows the water to travel from the cistern to the bowl through the use of a flush button or handle. Close-coupled toilets are hardwearing and sturdy. With all parts exposed, they are also the easiest to install, making them the most popular choice. Being the most common toilet style, close-coupled toilets are fashionable with both modern and traditional bathroom designs.
Back-to-Wall
A back-to-wall toilet attaches directly to the wall or can be connected to a toilet furniture unit. Traditionally, back-to-wall toilets will feature a concealed cistern tank and plumbing, giving it a modern appeal. This design is also space-saving, making it the perfect choice for cloakrooms and ensuites. It is also possible for toilets to have a design that is a combination of back-to-wall and close-coupled. In this instance, you get the beauty of the concealed plumbing without having to conceal the cistern, making it easier to install.
Wall-Hung
As the name suggests, a wall-hung toilet is installed directly onto the wall. The difference between a wall-hung and a back-to-wall toilet is that where a back-to-wall toilet touches the floor, a wall-hung toilet floats on the wall. This allows for the height to be adjusted to accommodate a range of needs. Given their minimalist and modern appeal, wall-hung toilets are seen as the stylish alternative, providing more floor space and a streamlined design. With a wall-hung toilet, the plumbing and cistern are concealed.
With all the key features selected, complete your design by selecting your accessories. Now all that’s left to do is head to your nearest retailer and start turning your bathroom design into a reality.
