Bathroom Fixture: What Is It? Where Should I Get It?
By Bob Mackey
What exactly is a bathroom fixture? Is it just the lights? The faucet? Where can you get them? An item permanently attached to the bathroom is a bathroom fixture. Not just the lights! Stay with your bathroom's style and theme when picking out bathroom fixtures. Make sure to stay within budget too. It is very tempting to get all the cool gadgets and latest bathroom fixture inventions. I still want the towel warming rack I saw. Most bathroom fixture manufacturers have collections, so you can buy all the fixtures at one to make sure they match.
When you hear "bathroom fixture" you may immediately think of just one thing such as the bathroom lighting. At least that's what I used to do. The term bathroom fixture actually encompasses quite a few things such as bathroom sink, bathtub, shower, faucet, toilet, bidet, lighting, vent fan and cabinets.
When searching online for a bathroom fixture, it's best to search for the specific item instead of a general term. The more specific you can get the better the search results. So instead of bath lighting or bathroom lighting search for bathroom vanity lights or hanging bathroom spotlight.
If you're a guerilla shopper, you like to get in, grab the stuff and get out as fast as you can. That's exactly how I shop. I suggest going to a large home improvement store or bathroom store that will have the bathroom fixture for you to order at once. Stores like Home Depot and Lowes are perfect for this. These stores will carry bathroom fixtures that coordinate all the from the same manufacturer and they can be installed too. But if you can do it yourself, these stores are the cheapest way to remodel your bathroom.
If you like to shop around, find unique items then I recommend going to specialty bathroom fixture stores. There are stores devoted entirely to lighting, plumbing, faucets, sinks and cabinets. These stores would have a wider variety of fixtures. But you would have to go to each store to get your bathroom fixture picked out. I have found though that the specialty store salespeople really know their bathroom fixtures. If you are not sure what you want, or can't find something in your price range, I would definitely consult with them. That specific bathroom fixture is their specialty!
