A bathroom or washroom is usually a room, usually in a residence or other commercial building, which has either a toilet or a sink. The presence of a separate wash basin is very common, as is the option of including a hot water tank. A bathroom in North America typically has a separate room for the purpose of bathing, although there are some variations nowadays, such as the trend towards shared wash basins. The bathroom is not a very difficult room to decorate, provided you have adequate light and enough space to move about.
The choice of a bathroom sink will depend on your needs, as well as your budget. If you want to have a small, compact vanity unit to put on top of your basin, then a modern freestanding bowl sink will be ideal. These sinks have the advantage of being cheaper than a traditional vanity unit, but they do not have the same storage options as a vanity top basin. If you opt for a freestanding basin sink, then the style will generally be Victorian or Edwardian styles; otherwise you would be looking at a more contemporary style. In addition to the variety of shapes, sizes and materials available for a bathroom sink, there are also a wide range of options in terms of taps to consider.
If you choose to buy your bath and shower together, then the choice of toilet will need to take into consideration how much room you have to work with. You can get a cheaper, less elegant model of toilet if you buy it as part of a set (typically around half the price of a separate fixture), which is a good way of getting the look of a traditional bathroom without the additional cost. It is also a good idea to opt for a toilet which comes with a rain shower head, as this will save you having to purchase one separately. If you choose to buy your basin and toilet separately, then you may also want to consider purchasing a small chrome tray for your basin to sit on, to protect it from water damage should it get wet.
