A floor-mounted mixer needs its rough-in set before the screed is poured. Keep 150–200 mm between spout and bath rim.

Warm metals work particularly well against dark stone. Keep the tapware in a single metal finish throughout the room.

Two outlets means a diverter. Confirm the valve's flow rating before adding a rain head.

Vessel basins need extra spout height. Check the aerator lands inside the bowl, not on the rim.
