Start by selecting your sanitary fittings. These are items that attach to walls or floors such as sinks, toilets, or faucets.
The right accessories can make your bathroom more useful, simple to maintain, and tranquil for all who use it.

Handheld shower head

Shower mixers
After you have settled on a shower system, it is time to look at shower mixers. These valves draw from both hot and cold water and mix them so you can set the temperature of your shower.

Shower mixer valves Exposed vs Concealed
There are pros and cons to hiding or showing your shower mixer.
Shower mixers exposed to the elements keep the pipe and the valve attached to the wall's outer workings.

For safety, ask your contractor or interior designer to verify that your building meets sanitary installation regulations.
Accessory for the shower
You will need to have some essential accessories for your showers, such as a towel ring, holder or hook, and many more.
Without accessories, what shower set is complete? Accessories include a towel ring, towel holder, toilet paper dispenser, soap dish with holder, and toilet paper holder. These accessories will enhance the functionality of your bathroom and can be used to meet any need.

Toilet suites
There are two types of toilet bowls available: one that is attached to the wall and one that is mounted on the floor. Your choice will be influenced by the type of trap or the piping system that you use to get to your toilet.
A toilet equipped with an S trap pipe is usually connected to the floor.
A P-trap pipe connects to the wall and an S-trap pipe is to the floor. However, it can be mounted on the floor depending on the design.
A P-trap toilet can be attached to the wall. However, it can also mount on the floor depending on its design.
