Reviving An Old Bathroom With New Fixtures

Spread the love

Even if you cannot afford a whole new bathroom remodel, just replacing the old fixtures can give your bathroom a facelift. There are so many new types of faucets that can transform a plain white porcelain sink or tub and give them an updated appearance. Add to them a few matching accessories and your bathroom will have a whole new look.

Think of your new faucets as the centerpiece of your new design. Whatever style and finish you use on the faucets can be matched in towel racks, hooks, shelves and even your toilet paper holder. Many manufacturers will make an entire line of hardware to compliment each other. So once you have the faucet sets, everything else will fall into place.

If you are keeping your existing sink, you will be limited to faucet designs that fit the configuration of your sink. However, even if that is the case, there are still undoubtedly many new looks to choose from. There are generally four types of sink faucet configurations:

 

  • Widespread, 8-inches, in three pieces. This is great news, as they will fit most 3-piece sets even if they are not exactly 8 inches apart.

 

  • 4-inch spread. These are typically one piece that holds the faucet and the 2-water handles. This type will limit you a bit more.

 

  • Single hole. These are meant for sets that have the faucet and levers all on one stem.

 

  • Wall or deck mounts. This will give you many varieties to choose from, as you do not have to conform to the sink itself.

 

Once you choose the style and finish of your new faucets, your local plumber can easily put them in for you to make sure they are fitted correctly. Then you can add your accessories to match your new faucets. You will be amazed at the difference just those small changes can do!
