Many people view bathroom taps as a purely functional item, so they may well be surprised to learn just how varied the range of taps actually is in today’s world. Bathroom taps now come in a myriad of colourful and inventive designs and styles. Some taps are designed to allow the water to be released in an attractive waterfall like manner, whilst other styles include art deco, vintage and even Victorian. There are even taps which have tiny fairy lights around their edges!

The kind of tap style a consumer would choose to go for would of course generally depend on the existing style of the bathroom in which the taps will be in use. A Victorian style tap would fit in well with a deliberately old fashioned looking bathroom, for example, but somewhat out of place in a more modern bathroom or one with an art deco style. Of course, some bathrooms could be deliberately varied in appearance and style, depending on the artistic preferences of the consumer in question. The kind of tap which give the waterfall effect as detailed earlier are often associated with bathroom designs that aim to give an Asian or Zen style theme, or even simply a “back to nature” effect – bathrooms with décor such as bamboo or wooden chairs and cabinets, and a stone bathtub and/or sink, would compliment that ‘waterfall’ affect very nicely.

If you are designing a bathroom and were resigned to a traditional ‘boring’ look for your bathroom taps, take another look at the choices available. You will be very pleasantly surprised.
