About Us

“If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want – I go to the bathroom.”— Alicia Keys

As an artist, Alicia finds her freedom in her bathroom and many other creative minds will attest to this statement. The bathroom ensures a solitary space that relieves us of stress and all kinds of troubles that life throws at us. It reinvigorates and re-energizes us, offering the much-needed calmness and seclusion we crave for in between life’s roller coaster rides day in day out. It’s always important to pick the right bathroomware since you don’t get to change them frequently. This is where we come in with our expertise to help you make the right buying decision.

Who Are We?

Toiletsguide is an incubator for a group of visionary interior design artists, plumbing engineers, industry analysts, bathroom fixtures and toilet researchers.

Our decade-long experience in this field has endowed us with the right kind of knowledge and skills to determine the right fixtures, fittings and interior designs in order to suit different types of household and plumbing systems.

We also took part in the U.S. Department of State’s nationwide bathroom remodelling programs. That gave us the access to investigate the scale of bathroom diversity around the country. In short, Toiletsguide is an expression of our commitment to offer the best solutions to bathroomware.
