Squared off Edges Scream Contemporary Style

Squared off edges scream contemporary style, and if you love this look there's no better way of showing it than investing in bathroom furniture and fittings with a similar design aesthetic. To begin, choose a piece that you love, and style everything else around it. Perhaps you've spotted a chunky, square designer countertop basin. A square or rectangular washstand will set this piece off perfectly, and a square edged monobloc tap will continue your theme. Or perhaps you prefer bathroom furniture: There are wall-hung vanity units (and matching WC units) galore out there, in many, many styles and finishes. Some striking zebrano could help enhance that squared off appeal. You'll need a coordinating bath filler, of course – and while we're thinking about your bath, have you seen the new ranges of freestanding, modern designs that are available these days? Use of acrylic and stone resin material in bath construction has allowed contemporary bathroom designers to develop new and exciting styles – and a spacious, rectangular freestanding bath will look great and add a splash of luxurious style (at a pretty reasonable price) to your 'square' bathroom. If you don't have room for a freestanding bath (they do take up a little more space overall than their fitted cousins, even if you install them close to a wall), then perhaps an L-shaped shower bath is for you. Slightly wider at the tap end, this ingenious design allows for a greater degree of elbow room while you're showering, so you won't feel the lack of a separate shower enclosure too much (if at all). Bath panels can be bought for L-shaped baths to allow them to fit seamlessly with any bathroom furniture in the room. Maybe you're not really a bath person, though. If you don't take baths yourself, and don't have any small children for whom a bath would be useful, perhaps you could turn your bathroom into a shower room or wet room instead. A large, rectangular walk-in shower enclosure will echo the squared off edges elsewhere and maximise your showering space. If you decide to go for the decadent wet room look, with no panels to define your shower area, you can still choose a fixed shower head that's rectangular or square, adding to your theme. You can even opt for a square toilet: Modern in style and with slightly rounded corners to prevent accidental bruising should you walk into them, squared off toilets can really help to bring a contemporary feel to a space. Remember to investigate WC units too, if you prefer a cistern-free look for your toilet: Your WC unit can match any vanity unit or washstand that you buy, and also coordinate with medicine cabinets, storage units, or wall mirrors too. And finally, bathroom accessories. Keep your toilet roll holder, robe hook, towel rail and mirror defiantly square or rectangular to finish off your bathroom elegantly and beautifully in straight-edged style. Source: deweyfiremen.com
