Whether you are installing a new cloakroom into your house, or simply replacing an old, worn out cloakroom suite, the sheer choice of sanitary ware available out there can make choosing a new cloakroom suite a confusing project.  Hopefully, the following points will help you in that choice.

At the most basic, all you need is a toilet and washbasin although, if you have a fair amount of space available, it wouldn’t hurt your property value to add a shower and storage.

Let’s get back to the basics, though, and think in terms of the essentials first.

The very first things you need to consider when planning your cloakroom are budget and the amount of space you have available.  If you are skilled enough to install the cloakroom suite yourself, that’s great, but if you are in any doubt it pays to employ a professional.  Don’t forget to factor the cost of installation into your budget.

Next consideration is style – are you a traditionalist or a modernist?  Whichever of these terms applies, there are plenty of cloakroom suites out there to fit your particular bill.

If you’re a traditionalist, you will be drawn to bathroom furniture with curves and rounded edges.  Toilets and basins will be supported by pedestals and white or cream will probably be the order of the day.

Contemporary, modern styled cloakroom suites can be something of an eye-opener, and they can also be particularly useful where space is limited, which is probably why they sell so well. Toilets and hand basins forgo the pedestal and are hung from the wall, placed on existing surfaces, or on suitable pieces of furniture.  Taps are either lever style or also wall mounted.  Shapes tend towards the angular, although there are some beautiful cloakroom suites available that combine curves with minimalism to great effect.

Whatever your style choice, be it contemporary or strictly classical, the major point to remember is that the room you are styling must, above all, be functional.  This is the time to strive for that most elusive of blends – the combination of form with function.

Whether you are installing a new cloakroom into your house, or simply replacing an old, worn out cloakroom suite, the sheer choice of sanitary ware available out there can make choosing a new cloakroom suite a confusing project. Hopefully, the following points will help you in that choice.

Let’s get back to the basics, though, and think in terms of the essentials first.

There are two major considerations that cannot be overlooked – the budget you have available and the space you have to fill. And don’t forget to factor in installation! If you have a fair command of DIY techniques, it might be that you can install the new cloakroom suite, thereby saving money or increasing the cost of what you can afford in terms of sanitary fittings and dcor.

Next consideration is style – are you a traditionalist or a modernist? Whichever of these terms applies, there are plenty of cloakroom suites out there to fit your particular bill.

If your home is traditionally styled, then it stands to reason that your cloakroom should follow along the same lines. So you’ll be looking at pedestal mounted basin and toilet, curved lines and gently rounded edges. Simple, classic good looks and old-fashioned comfort will be the order of the day.

If, however, your personal style is more contemporary, you should be thinking more in terms of wall hung basins and toilets – with no old-fashioned pedestals. Modern lines are angular and sleek; taps are wall-mounted or lever-operated and cisterns and toilet pans are seemingly unconnected! Some washbasins are simply mounted on existing pieces of furniture. The beauty of modernity is that it fits into smaller spaces, which is possibly why contemporary cloakroom suites are so popular.

The Phoenix Morley and Cube furniture cloakroom suite is ideal for smaller spaces. The floor mounted furniture unit is supplied with a soft close door for ease of use. The unit has a width of 450mm and projects just 250mm (about 10 inches) from the wall, which makes it perfect for cloakrooms. It is supplied already built so it should be nice and easy to install. The modern rectangular pottery basin fits perfectly on the furniture unit to create a very contemporary look. The Morley toilet is supplied with a soft close seat and chrome cistern flush. It projects just 610mm (about 24 inches) front to back, which is a great size for a cloakroom or en-suite. We have included a Phoenix AR basin tap, which complements this basin and furniture. We have included a spring waste, which means you have no worries over whether a pop up waste will work properly on this smaller basin.
