If you’re considering a new bathroom, or want to update your existing en-suite, take a look at our top pick of key bathroom trends for 2016 for some inspiration!

Boutique luxury

 

Luxury hotel bathrooms are a thing of beauty and indulgence. To recreate this look at home be brave; don’t be afraid to use statement tiles, feature lighting and eye-catching mirrors. If space is limited then keep it simple with sleek, modern items. If you can accommodate it, a freestanding bath is a fantastic way to get that boutique hotel feel at home. The Amalfi Freestanding Bath from Victoria + Albert is a great way to achieve a modern luxury look.

Scandinavian Style

 

Scandinavian design prides itself on keeping it simple, functional and attractive. Minimalist suites that combine crisp white ceramic with pale natural wood, such as the Vero range from Duravit in Ticino Cherry Tree finish, are ideal for creating a serene, Scandi-inspired environment. Key to this trend is sticking to a limited, natural colour palette.

Seeing Double

 

Double basins with their own mirrors and heated towel warmers are not just practical, they can be beautiful too. The Ketho vanity unit from Duravit comes in a range of colour finishes. Be brave and make a statement with Garnet Red Matt, or opt for a timeless finish with European Oak.

Hansgrohe Tap on a Budget  31517000

The Focus range of taps by Hansgrohe are perfect for your bathroom basin. (31517000)

It is not too big, looks elegant and smart.

It is excellent quality and good value for money makes your bathroom look stylish and hotel quality. The water flow is sufficient – even at low pressure. How?  Hansgrohe mixers are fitted with EcoSmart technology, which means they require up to 60% less water than conventional products. Lower hot water consumption means a lower energy requirement, and most importantly lower costs to run.

So how does that work? Simple. The EcoSmart aerator is integrated into the spout of the basin mixer and enriches the water with air. This means you use your water more efficiently, yet get full, bubbling jet of water. Good news for those who struggle with lime scale – QuickClean technology from Hansgrohe, means you can remove limescale in an instant. Since Hansgrohe has fitted its mixer aerators and shower jets with flexible silicon jets, dirt and limescale can be rubbed off easily.

I can’t recommend this product highly enough. It’s a ‘must have’ for all who loves practicality and good design.

BESPOKE BATHS TAKE A STEP FURTHER – V&A Baths

Have you ever wanted a designer piece but wished you could have more say over the finish?

Victoria + Albert free standing baths and basins can now be personalised with custom finishes for a truly unique feature in your bathroom. Their naturally smooth surface lends itself perfectly to either oil or water based paints.  If you adventures enough this is how you can do it yourself:

  • Firstly rub down the surface with an abrasive paper to get a key for the paint to stick to.
  • Wipe down thoroughly to remove any dust before applying paint.
  • If applicable, using a pencil, mark the outline of the feet on the bath. Important: Do not paint more than 5mm over this line as it could result in poor adhesion and possible failure.
  • Following the paint manufacturer’s instructions, apply the paint.
  • We recommend two top coats and doubling the waiting period between coats. Use a small roller or brush, applying paint in a random fashion so as not create paint lines.
  • If you wish to paint the feet, follow the above procedure using a small brush or spray paint instead of a roller. Important: Do not paint the inside of the foot as it could result in poor adhesion and possible failure.

If you have painted one yourself, we would love to see your pictures!  Email them to [email protected].

We can also arrange and design a painted bath for youhere at our Cheltenham Showroom.  Please call 01242 251113 to make an appointment with one of our designers.
