The Best Toilets to Suit Your Bathroom

Your toilet is important. Not only does it effectively and hygienically remove waste from your home, it makes a valuable contribution to your bathroom’s design scheme. A toilet can make or break your bathroom aesthetic and they are also incredibly expensive, so it’s important to consider the overall design.

In this article, we will discuss the two best toilets for specific bathroom styles. 

Best Toilets for Your Bathroom

We all have different tastes. As a result, no two bathrooms are the same.

Your toilet works harmoniously with features, such as your bath, shower, basin and fixtures to complete the design scheme. As a leading fitter of bathrooms, we believe careful thought and consideration should be taken when choosing your toilet.

For example, a modern toilet in a traditional bathroom presents a huge clash that can be visually unappealing. Without further ado, here are the best toilets for different bathroom styles. 

1. Traditional Toilet and Bathroom

If your bathroom design is traditional or you own a period home, it will require a specific type of toilet. Not just for the design, but because of your plumbing too. Having a modern toilet in this style of bathroom can remove the natural charm and elegance of the room.

There are a number of traditional toilets on the market with a distinct raised lever cistern. These toilets are often brushed gold and white with diverse patterns. Taking inspiration from the Victorian era, complete your throwback bathroom with a traditional toilet.

If you have a contemporary bathroom, as many homeowners do, you have a few options as far as your toilet is concerned.

Smart Toilets

Your first option is to integrate a smart toilet into your bathroom. Although this type of toilet has been popular in Asia for many years, it has only recently surged in popularity here. Manufacturers have equipped these toilets with a variety of features, including bidets, cleaning functions and Wi-Fi, making them easy to clean.

Wall-Hung Toilets

The second option is to introduce a wall-hung toilet to your bathroom. For those looking to develop a sleek and seamless modern bathroom, a wall-hung toilet is perfect. They have no visible pedestal, cistern or exposed pipework, and they don’t touch the floor, which makes for easy cleaning.

Standard Toilets

The third and final option is a standard toilet. They are the most common type found in bathrooms of all styles, and that is largely because they are affordable and easy to install. Most furniture companies will sell standard toilets and a large array of matching seats, unlike the other toilet types we’ve mentioned.
