Choosing A Toilet

Designing your bathroom can be complicated and time consuming. With all the choices you have to make regarding sizing and style, it can often be somewhat overwhelming to reinvent your bathroom- especially during a recession where every penny counts. 

At Bathroom City we believe some of the decisions you have to make can be made much simpler- like choosing your new toilet. With that in mind here are our top tips when looking for a toilet to suit your new bathroom, en suite or cloakroom.

Traditional or modern?

The main question faced by all those replacing their current toilet or suite. Generally speaking there are two types of toilet you have to consider- and it's all down to personal taste. 

If your bathroom is shaping up to be more of a traditional affair, you should invest in a toilet that reflects this style choice. these may include low level toilets, chain pull flushes and even pottery with beautiful period designs. With toilet seats to match the style of the traditional toilets, the vintage look is coming back with a bang.

When it comes to modern design, there is arguably much more choice. Smooth curves or striking bold lines - close coupled or back to wall. Even the choice of chrome flushes will boggle the mind momentarily. Many options are available at varying price tags- the key is knowing the theme of your bathroom or en suite and choosing a toilet that reflects it. 



Close coupled or back to wall?
The main difference between the two is how it effects the space you have to play with in your bathroom or en suite. Close coupled toilets are the most popular choice when renovating the modern bathroom as they are simple to maintain, use and clean. There's also a great deal of choice to be made in style.
