Thinking Of Giving Your Bathroom A Makeover? Think Again
Many people love the thought of giving their bathroom a makeover. It can be an exciting project to be involved in and the possibilities are endless. With many DIY shows showing how easy it can be to give your bathroom a makeover, the idea seems more appealing than ever.
Many of these makeover shows entice viewers into mixing and matching sanitary ware from different suppliers in order to save on cost. Whilst for many this is a personal choice, and can work out with excellent results, many of these experts fail to warn their viewers of the potential drawbacks of getting involved in such mixing and matching. Whilst hunting around for great bargains may be an appealing thought, many of them fail to mention how it can sometimes lead to disastrous results.
Beware of Colour Inconsistency
It is not just the cost saving aspect of it that has people shopping around from different suppliers. It all comes down to individual preference. Some just like the idea of making purchases based on the individual product's appeal. Whilst this can be quite fun, it is important to note that it is also risky business. If you are worried about colour inconsistency in your bathroom, you may have a problem on your hands if you shop around from different suppliers. Sometimes what appears at first to be the right colour may not be and only becomes obvious once you have the entire bathroom suite fitted.
If you wish for your bathroom to look uniform, then colour consistency is important. This is why many experts advise on buying not only from the same manufacturer, but also from the same range. This will ensure that you have colour consistency and it is better to spend a little more this way rather than take a risk and end up with a disastrous result. If you are going to spend lots of money on renovation then it is natural that you only expect the best result. Colour inconsistency becomes more obvious in smaller bathrooms. This is due to the fact that the sanitary ware are located quite close together and so the differences will be much more noticeable.
Sanitary ware clashes
However, colour inconsistency is not your only point of consideration when renovating. There may be a piece of sanitary ware in the bathroom causing a clash with the other pieces in the room. This detracts from the overall uniformity of the bathroom that neither coordinates nor compliments the rest of the bathroom.
This is not to say that a unique looking basin or bath cannot look good, indeed it can. However, some home-owners make the classic mistake of trying to have three radically different styles in their bathroom which ends up spoiling the overall look.
If you wish to go down the more selective route, it is best to select one type of sanitary ware you want to provide the focus, and the others should be from the same selection. This way you will have an overall coordinated look!
