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.
