Creating a well planned bathroom starts with choosing the right fixtures, fittings and accessories. Every choice affects how the room looks, how it functions and how easy it is to maintain. This guide walks you through the main product categories, what to look for and how to match everything together so you can build a bathroom that feels good to use every day.

Different Basin Styles Compared

Your bathroom basin sets the tone for the entire space. Shape, mount type and material all influence how the vanity works and how much usable bench space you keep.

Above Counter Basins

Above counter basins suit modern designs and turn the basin into a visual feature. They help maximise internal storage because the bowl sits on top of the bench. You’ll find round, rectangle and fluted styles in ceramic, solid surface and stone look finishes.

Semi Inset Basins

Semi inset basins sit partially inside the benchtop. This gives you a lower rim height while still enjoying a statement edge above the counter. They work well in family bathrooms where you want both style and easy reach.

Undermount Basins

Undermount basins offer a clean, seamless look. They sit completely beneath the benchtop, which increases bench space and keeps cleaning simple. These suit stone benchtops and minimalist bathroom layouts.

Powder Room Basins

Compact powder room basins fit tight spaces without compromising design. Choose a round or rectangle shape to keep things functional on smaller vanities.

Commercial Hand Basins

These heavy duty basins suit apartments, commercial fitouts or public amenities. They are designed for durability and compliance.

Which Tapware Fits Your Style?


Tapware influences the look and feel of the entire bathroom. It’s also one of the most used items, so quality matters.

Basin Mixers

Basin mixers work with most standard bathroom basins. Choose from classic chrome, brushed nickel, brushed gold, gunmetal or matte black. Tall basin mixers are designed for above counter bowls. Short mixers suit inset and undermount basins.

Wall Mixers

Wall mixers free up counter space and give you a minimal, architectural look. Pair them with above counter basins for extra impact.

Bath Tapware

Freestanding baths work well with floor mounted bath fillers. Back to wall or inset baths suit spouts and wall mixers. Choose a design that complements your basin mixer so the room feels cohesive.

Shower Mixers and Rails

Shower tapware comes in three main forms. Fixed shower heads deliver a clean, simple spray. Hand held shower heads offer flexibility for washing, cleaning and bathing kids. Shower rail sets give you adjustable height and two functions in one.

Pick the Right Toilet for Comfort and Cleaning

Your toilet choice affects hygiene, cleaning effort and how the bathroom looks. There are four main styles.

Wall Hung Toilets

Wall hung toilets mount directly to the wall, which keeps the floor clear and makes cleaning faster. They offer a premium, streamlined look in modern bathrooms.

Back to Wall Toilets

Back to wall toilet suites sit flush against the wall to hide plumbing. They are one of the most popular choices because they look tidy and reduce dust traps.

Close Coupled Toilets

Close coupled toilets connect the cistern directly to the pan. This traditional style suits most Australian homes and offers simple installation.

Smart Bidet Toilets

Smart toilets and bidet seats add comfort features like warm water cleaning, heated seats and air drying.

Add Mirrors and Shaving Cabinets for Storage

Mirrors do more than reflect light. They influence how spacious the room feels.

LED Mirrors

LED mirrors provide soft, even lighting that helps with preparing for the day. Many include demisters that prevent fogging.

Frameless Mirrors

A clean choice for minimalist bathrooms. They sit flat against the wall and suit any tapware colour.

Shaving Cabinets

Shaving cabinets give you hidden storage behind the mirror. Choose single, double or triple door options depending on your wall width. Internal shelves keep toiletries organised and off the vanity.

Include Bathroom Accessorise for Function and Finish

Accessories complete the bathroom and bring all your fittings together.

Towel Rails

Single and double towel rails keep towels tidy and within reach. Choose a finish that matches your tapware for a consistent look.

Heated Towel Rails

Heated towel rails keep towels warm and help them dry faster. Ladder and vertical bar designs suit different wall spaces.

Toilet Roll Holders

A small but important detail. Wall mounted holders keep paper easily accessible and help keep the design consistent.

Robe Hooks

Perfect near showers, baths or doors. Hooks keep robes and towels off the floor and reduce clutter.

Shelves and Shower Hardware

Glass or metal shelves add extra storage inside the shower. Shower hardware includes brackets and arms that secure your showerhead.

Bottle Traps and Basin Wastes

These finishing pieces keep your plumbing compliant and your vanity looking clean. Choose matching finishes to tie the room together.

Choosing the Right Vanity Size & Layout 


Your vanity anchors the bathroom layout. Size, mounting style and storage capacity will impact usability.

Freestanding Vanities

Freestanding vanities suit most bathrooms and offer strong internal storage. They are easy to install and pair well with almost any basin.

Wall Hung Vanities

Wall hung vanities create an open floor line that makes the room feel larger. They suit modern designs and pair well with undermount or above counter basins.

Compact Vanities

Perfect for ensuites and small bathrooms. Available in 450mm, 600mm and 750mm widths.

Large Vanities

For family bathrooms, 1200mm, 1500mm and 1800mm vanities offer generous bench space and storage.

Bring the Bathroom Together With Colour

Colours influence the mood of your bathroom. These are the most popular finishes across tapware, accessories and hardware.

Chrome

Bright, clean and timeless. Works with any basin or vanity finish.

Brushed Nickel

Soft, modern and versatile. A good alternative to chrome if you prefer a warmer tone.

Brushed Gold

Adds warmth and luxury. Works beautifully with stone, timber and white basins.

Gunmetal

A deeper metallic finish that suits contemporary designs.

Matte Black

High contrast and bold. Best paired with light basins and vanities.

Powder Room
