A buyer’s guide to bathroom furniture
When choosing bathroom furniture it can seem that recent years have seen inordinate price rises. However for those who know where to look (and what they’re looking for) there are still plenty of bargains to be had. In this guide we introduce you to the factors to think about when choosing your bathroom furniture.
Getting the best deal on bathroom furniture
Getting the best deal on bathroom furniture needn't prove to be an impossible task. Follow these tips to drive down the cost of your bathroom items.
Buying online versus buying in store
Whilst it may be tempting to buy from a physical store where you can see the items in person it is advisable to shop for bathroom furniture solely online. Purchasing through a retail outlet inevitably attracts a premium (after all, they have to pay for the additional staff and units somehow) so shop online to make a saving.
Buying ex-display
Buying ex-display items can pretty much always see you receiving over 20% discount (more if there’s slight damage to any of the items). To find out if the retailer you’re looking at has items available as ex-display just ask!
Using Google Shopping search
Using Google and hitting the shopping tab can see you saving a significant amount of money. Here you can search for each bathroom furniture item and compare what’s available side by side. When using this feature be sure to also check websites directly as now all retailers appear in these search results.
Consider buying a bathroom suite
If you’re replacing a toilet, basin or bath then you may want to consider replacing the entire suite. Apart from negating the difficulty of matching up colours, this also means that you benefit from what can be significant bulk buy discounts.
Considering delivery charges
Shopping online certainly sees large discounts when compared to the prices found in physical retail outlets. However you need to take care that the delivery charges and terms don’t eclipse the saving you’re making on the items themselves. Check this prior to browsing the website.
Buying furniture that fits into your home
Traditional decor
When buying bathroom furniture for the traditional home you should be looking for furniture in natural materials such as oak and pine or colours that fit into the current colour palette of your room. Traditional furniture tends to be far more detailed than modern items, which tend to be fairly simplistic.
Modern decor
Buying for the modern home is altogether far easier than buying for the traditional home. Modern decor tends to focus on simplicity and straight lines, so plain items are key (which means that it is actually fairly difficult to go wrong). Particularly on trend right now are monochromes and natural materials that feature stones and slate.
