Driving trends for today and well into the future, the company has noted the following distinct trends for bathrooms and naturally has a product to suit any and all...
Avant Garde: Here the emphasis is on new and unusual materials rather than hard-edged technical features. Softness features strongly, with everything from warm and velvety materials, carpets to ambient lighting. Organic and volume driven design is key.
Green: The sustainable approach to natural resources and energy conservation are paramount and this marks probably the strongest and most influential bathroom trend. Waterwise technology combines with natural and environmentally materials and design practices to meld wellness, economy and a sense of eco-consciousness into a durable yet design oriented oasis.
Fashion: The bathroom is set to make a statement as cocooning comes of age with more home entertainment and work from home environments. The bathroom becomes as important a visual statement as the kitchen. Timeless and clean lined designs are accessorised by signature pieces — colour and form plays a vital role whilst inter-changeable fittings ensure that you are always up to date.
Simple versatility: The new adaptable, barrier-free bathroom is chic and practical and can as easily appeal and be used by the elderly, handicapped or very young. There is a distinct shift towards family generational living again and bathrooms need to be multi-functional yet alluring to all ages.
Private spa: Wellness evolves into ritual and the mundane and habitual cleaning schedule eschewed. Relaxation and regeneration of the soul are stimulated through the sophisticated use of design and aesthetic appeal of this private, indulgent sanctuary. The gentle deluge of rainfall showers and sensory effects enhance the ambience and luxury of personal wellness and private spaces.
Techno: Sexy electronic fittings, contact less operation and push button control of showers and other features dominate the hi-tech bathroom of today and tomorrow. Surround sound in large open walk-in showers, body jets and the ability to arrange your shower experience.
Sounds appealing doesn't it. Keep these trends in mind when thinking of your next bathroom...
