Just six weeks into the new year and we are already beginning to see a trend towards more minimalistic bathroom suites. From what our customers are telling us they prefer a less cluttered looking bathroom, with fixtures and furniture which are simplistic. Traditional basin and pedestals are out, being replaced with modern bathroom vanity units with free-standing basins. Darker furniture is more popular than it has ever been, especially such finishes as wenge, walnut and tobacco.
Darker colours are also in when it comes to bathroom tiles. Choosing black or grey wall tiles can work wonders with chrome and satin bathroom accessories, as they make the accessories stand out even more so.
For those who have the space, free-standing bathtubs are fantastic for the center of the bathroom (as seen above). This leaves more room for wall fixings like radiators and other bathroom accessories. Shower baths are also another addition which a lot of bathroom designers choose, because of their practicality and modern styles.
Walk-in showers, again because of their minimalist style, are the type of shower that we sell more of than traditional shower quadrants and enclosures. Or, for the ultimate in simplicity showering, choose a wet room panel and tile your shower area accordingly.
Creating a modern bathroom design with fitted furniture is the best way to be truly creative, as it can be customised to your exact preferences. You can choose from numerous different styles of doors, handles and finishes, and have it manufactured to the exact dimensions to fit your bathroom suite.
