Not just functional fixtures, the best bathroom taps also help serve as a pivotal element in the final bathroom design. Yet also, as installers know all too well, just one well-selected tap can scale up an average-size bathroom to look more prominent and polished.
However, as tap choices merge personal style with functionality, some customers will be looking to their bathroom installer for the best fit here.
Here, The Bathroom Showroom looks at how you can help your customers choose the best bathroom taps to ensure improved practicality and enhanced décor in the process.

Understand Your Customer’s Preferences for Tap Types
What kind of bathroom tap does your customer prefer? When discussing bathroom design, this is the best time to listen to their needs and assess their preferences. While some homeowners may be drawn towards classical and traditional designs, others might prefer more modern, contemporary and streamlined styles. Understanding what type of tap they’re keen on is the first step to steering them towards the perfect choice.
The Bathroom Showroom Recommends the Methven Amio tap for modern-style bathrooms while the iflo Calm is a good choice for more classically styled bathrooms.

Consider the Customer's Overall Bathroom Design
Every bathroom has its own unique design and style. So, a tap design that can beautifully complement the bathroom's aesthetics will undeniably boost the overall appeal. Show your customers various tap design options that you think would suit their bathroom design. So, on-trend tap designs for an ultra-modern bathroom space, or those popular more solid types of taps for a more elegant touch.
The Bathroom Showroom Recommends the Heritage Dawlish for an eye-catching traditional-styled bathroom tap. The Abode Fervour is the ideal tap choice for an original contemporary bathroom design with its sharp crisp lines.

Look to the Functionality of the Tap Design
While the aesthetic achieved by superb-looking taps can be dazzling, it’s often functionality that rules long-term for many homeowners. This is especially so for those homeowners with young children in the home. Tap choices here should be those that provide protection in the form of regulated water temperature and cold start functions. Likewise, for customers who need to work their tap choices around the elderly or those with mobility issues, then taps that are easy to operate and maintain will work better here, like those leverage tap designs with lever handles.
The Bathroom Showroom Recommends the iflo Waterscade tap for its lever-style handles that promote ease of use. Several Roca taps promote child-friendly features such as cold start technology, user-friendly water flow, and soft-turn design.
