@Anonymous, try Autodesk Seek.

Also, as BIM is becoming more common, there's a handful of manufacturers offering Revit families for their products. You can try in their websites.

In the UK (metric) library you have things like sinks bathtubs, toilets etc.

It is in the Plumbing Folder

Appliances can be found under Specialty Equipment (Domestic)

Yes I found them. I will try putting them today. Can you help me with one mor thing that when I put my base cabinets in kitchen they where overlaping each other. How can I fix that (the overlaping was just in milimeters). One of my wall cabinets was a corner one so I could only attach it on one side of the wall to allign them with other cabinets which lead to a small gap between this wall cabinet and other wallof the kitchen. Is that alright or the corner wall cabinet shoud be attached to bothsides of kitchen walls.

I have attached my file please have a look.

Some/most families (OOTB ones) are already parametrized...when you select the element

Either it has grip handles ath the sides; front/back which you can drag to align
OR when you select an element you go to Type Properties (top left corner on the ribbon) or edit type in the properties panel and you adjust length/width/height/elevation...etc or whatever parameter which has been made available
