Bathroom Evolution
The use of our bathrooms has evolved … it’s not just ‘our’ bathroom anymore, it’s everyone's! Our children’s, our grandchildren’s, friends and other family members, the bathroom has become intergenerational, and so has it’s design. Dual basins and shower heads have become an integral part of bathroom design, main reason being children and parents are using the bathroom at the same time, or partners are using the shower together and utilising the shared space. And these features are being paired up with simple wall hung units, some of which are being very cleverly designed as to be tall enough and carry enough depth to shade say the W.C or the basin, gifting not only stylish design but privacy also.When it comes to colours, the wall hung units are being seen mainly in softer shades of cream or grey and often also wood shades too. It’s a subtle design but a successful one nonetheless, combining the dual features and wall hung furniture along with walk in showers and freestanding baths, the modern design is becoming far more appealing. Manufactures have started making basins more defined with the use of angles and edges, changing the material to achieve this look by using mineral cast or cerafine rather than the traditional china that doesn’t allow for the more detailed and finer styling. The brilliant white of these basins combined with the subtle shades of the furniture are creating a real fresh and bright look to our bathrooms. Taking design to that next level by creating contrast in say a darker, maybe graphite coloured floor with then lighter walls. Can you see how it all comes together? Fantastic isn’t it.Even the smaller details like grout shades are starting to stand out. It’s not just white grout anymore, we have black, greys, silvers and beiges, probably to go with the increase of patterned tiles we’re seeing, enhancing that elegant and more luxurious look. Which brings me to my final point, where has the inspiration come from. The change in how our bathrooms are designed and styled has come from boutique hotels and luxury apartments. It’s the essence of our designs that create these multi-functional rooms and more importantly rooms that are a pure delight to use.
