Eye-catching taps can really spruce up a plain suite and needn't be expensive, especially if you look for more adventurous designs or sift through salvage-yard stocks. Ideally, the taps you choose will match the style of the suite, but the look you decide on could depend on the kind of water system you have - some taps will only work with high-pressure water systems - so ask your plumber for advice before you buy.
This DIY-store design will serve you just as well as any of the more expensive models, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
