Unfortunately this falls under decorating tips; and I am far from being an interior decorator. Thank goodness for the Internet, because there you can find tips and tricks of the trade when it comes to improving and remodeling your bathroom. And before you ask, yes, a bidet  is considered a must have in new, modern and updated bathrooms. It even increases the value of your home.

What Kinds of Bidets are There?

There are several basic styles of bidet seats; many look like a cross between a toilet and sink, they are relatively funny shaped and ride low to the ground. One type has a spout in the bottom that shoots water up in the air like a fountain some operate on the same basis but perform more on the lines of spraying water out like a sprinkler. You want to be careful when you’re using either of these that you don’t get your face too close to your ‘business’. Another type shoots water out from under the rim, something on the lines of a reverse toilet flushing action. It’s all about the faucet. Should you not have the space for a bidet there are adapters that can be applied to the top of your toilet in place of or in addition to the seat.

Good Flooring and Bad Flooring

Hardwood flooring is nice and it’s pretty. Installers will tell you that if it’s properly sealed its perfectly fine for use in your bathroom with your bidet. Personally—I wouldn’t bet on it. Vinyl is economical and comes in endless styles and colors. Tile is nice, textured tile helps avoid slipping and sliding (and falling) but the grout can be painstaking. Stone is cold and can be slippery. Laminates are good but if not properly sealed create bubbling and that means a new floor. No matter what type of bidet you decide upon there is one type of flooring that should absolutely, positively, never, ever be used in a bathroom… Carpeting. Can you say mold and mildew?
