Bathroom taps aren’t always the highest on the agenda when it comes to styling options, but they hold huge potential in making a serious impact on the overall feel of your decor. Besides, given the amount of time we spend in them, our bathrooms deserve a treat with some shiny new hardware. So, we’ve rounded up our top picks for bath, basins, freestanding models, mixer options and even a shower lever. You name it, there’s a style for any bathroom.

1. Claremont, Building Supplies Online
We love a nice roll top bath as much as the next home maker and this ultra traditional design from Building Supplies Online combines modern technology with period design beautifully. You simply can’t go wrong with this one as it’ll find itself at home in virtually any cottage bathroom. Burlington is more a high end bathroom brand, so if you’ve got a more flexible budget, take a look at their range.
2. Castello, Victoria Plum
Make a solid style statement with Victoria Plum’s chic take on a traditional freestanding tap. The old world design is given an ultra cool makeover with the matte black finish, which will pair perfectly with tasteful tubs of almost any style. We’re big fans of how the tap details tie in perfectly with the monochrome scheme.
3. Traditional mixer, eBay
This tall mixer tap with a singular ceramic lever in traditional styling will make the perfect addition to a countertop basin. It emanates timeless decorum in the smooth curves of each piece, ultimately bringing little hint of modernity to a simple design. The tiny price tag is also a great bonus.
4. Gappo Mono, Amazon
With a big tick in the metallic trend box, this single lever basin mixer design from Amazon treads a fine balance between classic simple shape and contemporary brushed chrome finish. Plus, the price tag is budget-friendly which is always a bonus for us home makers.
5. Gallant, John Lewis
You can always rely on John Lewis for enduring design classics with taste. This bath and shower mixer set covers all bases and is beautifully versatile. The Gallant range also features an alternative bath/shower set as well as basin options too so you can coordinate the whole room to your desires.
6. Keiss, B&Q
If you’re after classic styling with a modern metallic twist then these gold effect pillar basin taps are just the ticket. The subtlety of the gold tone here is mastered so as not to overwhelm your colour scheme and will fit nicely with warm, antique tones. A new take on a design classic!
So affordable too!
7. Esser, Wayfair
Although not strictly a tap, this shower valve design is so gorgeous that it deserves a moment. The traditional ceramic handle oozes period influence and is a super option when coordinating your hardware. Explore the full range for other similar options.
8. Gratz, Wayfair
Add a fresh touch to your bathroom hardware with this matte black mixer from Wayfair. The cross tap heads throw back to period decor but are made contemporary with the finish. If the black tone isn’t for you then choose from four other colourways.
9. Enchanted, Wickes
Whilst this design from Wickes might look a little standard, it’ll pack a serious punch when paired with a traditional style bathroom. The classic ceramic handles and soft curves of the tap shape make for an utterly timeless design that will complement a period basin nicely. You can’t go wrong with the white and silver combination.
10. Spey, John Lewis
The sleek, minimal lines of this simple design from John Lewis could make the perfect finishing touch to modest bathroom decor. The angles are soft yet understated and don’t impose, plus it’ll be super easy to clean and comes with a 5 year guarantee.
Through styles, finishes and functions, these are our favourite taps on the market right now. We hope you can find something to suit your dream bathroom! What will you choose?
