Bathroom Suites Why a White Suite Is Best For The Bathroom
Some people think that white bathroom suites are un-interesting, but this could not be further from the truth. White bathroom suites offer a huge amount of versatility being able to fit in with any possible style that you have in mind.
Balterley Spirit Bathroom Suite £587
It’s probably pretty obvious that if you want a minimalist look to your bathroom white is the way to go. Minimalism, which is based around the idea of stripping away anything frivolous or that has no purpose, can be linked to Zen and the art of meditation. This just goes to prove that, to be a sanctuary, your bathroom doesn’t have to be filled with marble and gold plate. In fact, a plain white bathroom suite, devoid of ornament, is exactly what the Master ordered!
Something we touched earlier with minimalist design white bathroom suites is the fact that the overall design needs much less space as you have already got rid of the clutter that isn’t required in the bathroom. Unfortunately new homes being built are having bathrooms that seem to be getting smaller. For the ultimate in clean lines and minimalist design in using a white bathroom suite with white tiles white walls and ceiling, it will make the room appear larger and have a very fresh feel, just be careful that you don’t go too far and give your bathroom that clinical hospital like feel.
The flip side is that the minimalist design doesn’t fit with all design plans. Some prefer the very decadent styles with powerful colours and lots of accessories, a white bathroom suite can again be used in this environment to perhaps keep the overall design from becoming too over the top. There see how flexible a white bathroom suite can be.
A white bathroom suite if thats what you choose, will give the best choices on colours in the bathroom lets face it white is a one fits all colour. So if you like an electric blue colour don’t worry your bathroom suite will always match and look great. And even further down the line when you decide on changing the colour of the walls or tiles the original white bathroom suite will match.

Well i have talked a lot about the colour, but what about the style. White certainly doesn’t have to be the safe boring choice. The range of white bathroom suites available is huge with the most traditional including roll top baths to the most contemporary designs with clean sharp lines.
When we are re-designing our bathrooms we normally know if we want minimalist or decadent, the first consideration should be the bathroom suite itself with a white one near of not top of the shopping list.

One of the other advantages of a minimalist design in your bathroom is it needs much less space. Modern bathrooms unfortunately seem to be getting smaller and smaller, so a small modern bathroom with minimalist design can be used to your advantage. Add white tiles and white walls to a white bathroom suite and you have a room that can appear larger with the light bouncing off all of the white surfaces, and have a very clean and fresh look.

The Low Down on Corner Bathroom Suites
I would normally associate the term corner bathroom suite with one of those opulent corner baths that you just want to dive into. But designs have moved quickly and you can now buy corner showers and basins. So make sure you know what you want when beginning the search online.
Corner baths are great space savers but they’re also great at filling up some of the floor space in an over large bathroom; they give you the best of both worlds really. However, nothing is perfect, so what’s the downside of choosing a corner bathroom suite?
The first problem that springs to mind is the lack of room to lie down! Corner baths tend to offer a lot of width but not much length, a problem that is magnified in the smaller models. If you have long legs, you can kiss goodbye to those long hot soaks you so enjoy!
A secondary problem is water. Our water bills nowadays are going up month by month it seems and a corner bath will add to that household expense. The average standard rectangular bath needs 155 litres for a standard fill where as a corner bath needs an unbelievable 210 litres that may not sound like much of a difference but if you add this up over the year and multiply that by the amount you pay per unit of water it may give you a surprising result and that doesn’t allow for the additional energy required to heat all that water.
A popular choice instead of the standard corner bath is the offset corner bath. The offset bath fits into the corner but has one side that is longer, these come in both right and left hand designs to fit all bathrooms, so what ever you do make sure you know which is needed before purchase!
With the offset suite having one side that is longer it will mean that you can stretch out and relax in the bath as well as have a bath that looks the business. These offset baths will still use more water that a standard bath but it will be considerably less that a conventional corner bath.
If you do decide on the corner bath suite and lets face it they just look great when installed, you will need to consider whether it needs to be offset. The corner bath panel is not a universal, they are designed to fit only the one model of bath so although you will not need it straight away I would always advise buying an additional facia panel and hiding it in the loft, there will I am sure become a day when the plastic or wood gets a know and cracks it. These baths after a few years can sometimes get replaced and updated so can be hard to come by new panels for your corner suite.
I think you will agree that a corner bathroom suite looks great, but just use the information above as a guide to some of the pitfalls and once you are happy purchase, install and enjoy!
