How to Choose the Perfect Bathroom Fixtures for Your Renovation

The bathroom is more than a functional space — it is the room you use first and last every day. A well-chosen bathroom fixture can turn it into something you actually enjoy being in. At Eunoia we carry a curated selection of faucets, toilets, shower systems, sinks and accessories to help you get there.

Here is how to work through it, in the order that matters.

Faucets: start with the holes in your sink

The faucet is the piece you touch most, and the shape is decided by your sink before style enters into it. Count the holes and measure between the outer two, then choose from single-hole, widespread (three holes, 8" apart), centerset (three holes, 4" apart), vessel (taller, for a raised bowl) or wall-mount (nothing on the counter, but the valve goes inside the wall). Our bathroom faucet guide works through hole count and spacing in detail.

Then pick the finish. Our range covers polished chrome, brushed nickel, brushed gold, matte black and more. Chrome and brushed nickel are forgiving; matte black and gold have more presence and show water marks more readily.

Toilets: measure the rough-in first

Before anything else, measure from the finished wall to the centre of the bolts at the base of your current toilet. 12" is standard in Canada; 10" and 14" need a toilet built for them, and this cannot be corrected after delivery — see toilets with a 10-inch rough-in and our full rough-in size guide.

With that settled, choose the form: one-piece for a seamless, easier-to-clean shape; two-piece for a lower price and an easier install; wall-hung to free the floor entirely, with the tank concealed in an in-wall carrier. We compare the first two in one-piece vs. two-piece, and the third in the practical benefits of wall-hung.

For a warm seat, warm water and a dryer, either add a bidet seat to the toilet you have, or buy it built in as a smart toilet. The eight must-know WASHLET features explains what a bidet seat actually does.

Shower systems: decide the valve before the trim

Everything visible in a shower hangs off a rough-in valve buried in the wall, and that valve has to go in before the tile does. Get it right and you can change the trim years later without opening the wall. See shower rough-in valves & parts, and our shower faucet guide for how the valve decision shapes everything after it.

From there, complete shower kits pair a head, valve and trim that are guaranteed to work together — the simplest route. If you are specifying piece by piece, see shower faucets and trims, and note that body jets need enough flow to run alongside the head; a plumber should confirm your supply can carry it. Do not forget the shower drain.

Sinks, mirrors and the finishing pieces

The sink narrows quickly by how it meets the counter: undermount for an unbroken countertop and easy wipe-down, vessel for a bowl that sits proud as a feature, wall-mounted and pedestal where floor space is tight. See all bathroom sinks — and the matching pop-up drains and P-traps in bathroom drains.

Then the pieces that finish the room: LED mirrors — which need a junction box positioned before the drywall goes up, so decide early — and bath accessories in a finish that matches your faucets.

Coordinating your finishes

Matching finishes across faucets, shower trim, accessories and the toilet's trip lever is what makes a bathroom read as designed rather than assembled. It is easier to do at the start than to correct later, because finishes vary between manufacturers — one brand's brushed nickel is not another's. Where you can, buy the visible metal from one brand.

If you would like a single brand to run through the room, our brand guides are a good place to start: Vogt, Riobel Arca and Duravit.
