Bathroom Decorating: How to Choose the Right Sanitary Ware and Bathroom Furniture

Badkamer Inrichten: Zo Kies Je het Juiste Sanitair en Badkamermeubel

Bouwshop Utrecht |

A new bathroom doesn't just start with the tiles. The right layout, bathroom furniture, and sanitary ware determine how much space you have left and how practical the bathroom is for daily use.

Do you want to put together a complete bathroom? Then it's smart to first measure the space and then coordinate the sanitary ware, bathroom furniture, and other materials.

At Bouwshop Utrecht, you can view and order various bathroom products online. Would you prefer to have your bathroom completely installed? Then you can also request a bathroom renovation quote.

1. Start with your bathroom's layout

Before ordering sanitary ware, it's important to look at the available space.

Measure, among other things:

  • the length and width of the space
  • position of the door and any windows
  • existing water and drainage points
  • available wall space
  • height of the space

In a small bathroom, a clever layout can make a big difference. A wall-hung toilet, glass shower screen, and a compact or floating bathroom vanity can help make the space appear more open.

2. Choose the right bathroom furniture

Bathroom furniture combines storage space and aesthetics.

Consider in advance:

  • how much storage space you need
  • the desired width
  • one or two sinks
  • drawers or doors
  • floating or freestanding model
  • the combination with mirror and faucet

Buying bathroom furniture?

At Bouwshop Utrecht, you will find various vanity units and base cabinets.

If you're unsure between different sizes, first measure the available wall space and consider the walking area around the furniture.

3. Choose sanitary ware that matches

A bathroom looks calmer when the sanitary ware's style and color align well.

Consider, for example:

Sink and faucet

Coordinate the height, color, and design of the faucet with the chosen bathroom furniture.

Shower

A walk-in shower with a glass wall often creates a spacious feel.

Toilet

A wall-hung toilet provides a sleek look and makes the floor easier to clean.

Mirror

A large mirror or LED mirror can optically enlarge the bathroom and is practical for daily use.

4. Consider comfort and practical details

A bathroom should not only look beautiful but also function pleasantly.

Consider:

  • sufficient storage space
  • good lighting
  • practical shower layout
  • a suitable mirror
  • comfortable faucets
  • accessories and towel holders

Even small additions can make the bathroom much more practical, such as a bidet hand shower.


5. Choosing wall finishing: tiles or wall panels?

The wall finishing largely determines the look of the bathroom.

You can choose traditional tiling, but also modern waterproof wall panels.

For a sleek marble look, for example, you can view our 3 mm marble look waterproof wall panels.

6. Design your own bathroom or have it renovated?

Of course, you can choose your sanitary ware and materials yourself.

However, if demolition, plumbing, electrical work, tiling, or installation is also required, it may be more practical to outsource the renovation entirely.

At Bouwshop Utrecht, you can choose sanitary ware and materials and also request a quote for the renovation.
