Clever KITCHENS Modern-day living has transformed home life and the role of the kitchen has evolved. The hub of the home is no longer just a room for cooking and dining, but a multi-functional space to work, play, share and live.
PRODUCT INFORMATION & TRENDS Clever Kitchens, Bathrooms and Bedrooms from Bohen – Introducing the 2014 collection
Twenty beautifully crafted kitchens have been produced spanning three key styles mirroring today’s trends, and providing the perfect backdrop to contemporary living. The Bohen 2014 kitchen collection features Modern, Neo Shaker and Timeless designs, which come with 120 door-finishes to choose from and inspire the creation of the kitchen which best suits your lifestyle. Hero styles in the Modern collection are C04 and C05, which work in unison to create a sleek modern look with a Scandinavian feel. The warmth of slab doors in a stylish oak grain effect is set-off with an accent colour on plain painted whitefronted base units. In contrast, style C22 is from the Timeless range. It evokes the spirit of a modernday country kitchen with in-frame painted doors and traditional features such as chunky, moulded end columns, tongue and groove paneling and matching mantelpiece. Backed by Bohen’s trade-trusted experience, design C22 makes achieving the look and feel of a bespoke, handmade kitchen easy.
C14 is part of the Neo Shaker collection. Available in 11 stylish colours, this is a stunning variation on a classic Shaker - inspired design, featuring a contemporary beveled edge detail and a horizontal grain on its centre door panels. The star attraction is a chunky, circular tabletop in a contrasting wood finish to create a sophisticated eating and drinking area at the end of an island unit.
For its inaugural collection of kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, Bohen is introducing an eclectic range of beautifully crafted designs and accessories, which can be cleverly and creatively mixed and matched to give a unique look and feel to a home.

Clever BATHROOMS
Clever BEDROOMS
The bathroom often has to serve the entire family, but be elegant enough to make whiling away an hour in a tub full of bubbles a blissful joy.
The bedroom provides an escape, an opportunity to introduce individual style and experiment with colours, fabrics and finishing touches to make it feel like five star luxury without losing any functionality.
The W02 design features the ultimate ‘WOW’ bath - a stunning hand-finished copper bathing delight. Perfect in a period style house with a contemporary nod, it is complemented by double basins set in traditionally styled storage units and interior design choices such as a Victorian mirror and glamorous chandelier complete the elegant yet extravagant statement bathroom. W07 is part of the Family collection and perfect for the multi-person, multi-functional space. It offers a fusion of contemporary and traditional accents with classically formed sanitary ware. The luxurious freestanding bath with traditional clawed feet combined with uber modern tiling, shower, furniture and styling provides an elegant contemporary twist on a traditional bathroom set.
The Bohen 2014 bedroom collection is comprised of five fitted-furniture designs in 11 colour options and finishes, offering 44 different configurations to choose from as well as all of the handles, accessories and storage solutions necessary to create the ultimate boudoir. Design S01 creates a contemporary look and feel, featuring stunning Pearl Basalt-accent slab wardrobe doors that almost skim the floor. The absence of a plinth gives a dramatic appearance with an on-trend nod to European influence.
Style F01 is part of the Wetroom furniture range. Bang ontrend retro styling will seduce the fashionistas and its unique design takes initial cues from a big impact 900mm basin unit. Complementary designer wall tiling mimics the grain of the wood and is laid vertically and horizontally in the basin and shower area. Once a bathroom design has been selected, Bohen expertise and product understanding help the shopper to mix and match bathroom essentials to truly personalise a space. A myriad of baths, showers, screens, taps, enclosures and screens as well as accessories, furniture, heating options and tiling are available to complete a chosen look.
The key to a truly bespoke look lies in the bold mix and match of colours and textures with gloss fronts and textured woods creating an impactful contrast. The S02 is at the heart of creating a truly unique, personal space. Contemporary slab doors can be combined with a variety of door styles and complementary cabinet finishes, with the option to personalise every touch including handles and accessories.
S03
Intelligent design means Bohen bedroom furniture fits together perfectly to create a fully fitted look without extensive building work and installation requirements. The bespoke offering means that sloping ceilings present no challenge with the opportunity to have doors tailor-made and expertly fitted onsite.
Storage space is often overlooked in the design of a bathroom – hiding the bathroom essentials so they don’t detract from the impact of a room’s design, and having somewhere to keep everything from towels to toothbrushes and lotions to toilet rolls. Bohen offers a choice of stylish bathroom furniture in a number of finishes and colours, all designed to be beautiful and practical, and where form meets function in perfect synergy.
Bohen bedrooms offer the opportunity to mix and match ranges as well as colours. Solid slab soft-close doors in a warm Bardolino truffle oak finished with vintage cladding ensure style S03 has an ultra sleek look. Open glass display shelving with colour co-ordinated back panels and lowline bedroom cabinets complete the look. Once a bedroom style has been selected, there is the opportunity to add a personal touch. Choose from 11 different colours and finishes, and accent colours as well as furniture and features such as dressing tables and mirrored doors. Clever interior storage options help maximise space while organising clothes and accessories.

Practical worktops don’t have to be boring. Wood, laminate, quartz, granite and corian are all good stylish choices dependent on budget and practical needs.

Checklist for creating a blissful bathroom
Bathing Often the bath is the main focal point of a bathroom and therefore careful consideration is needed regarding the style, size, shape and even material. Freestanding traditional and contemporary styles should be weighed up against fitted baths. Can your bathroom carry off a statement bath? Does it need to practically bathe the entire family? Where will the taps go so you don’t lean on them when you are having a soak?
The bathroom has evolved into a place, not only of functionality, but to retreat and revitalize; whether that be an early morning ‘wake-up’ shower or a blissful bathtime moment at the end of a busy day.
W10 Small Space
Setting out to create your perfect personal space that meets both function and form can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t need to be. By considering what you need and want across a few core elements will ensure that you’re well on your way towards getting your dream bathroom.
06
07
Often overlooked in the bathroom until it’s too late is the need for plenty of storage space; somewhere to keep everything from towels to toothbrushes and lotions to loo rolls. Ensure a new room doesn’t become cluttered and make managing space part of your room planning. The solution should be beautiful, practical and functional.
Picking the perfect finishing touches can be one of the most pleasurable parts of revamping a bathroom. As well as being practical enough to make a bathroom a joy to use, from towel rails to toothbrush holders, can really help to personalise a space.

Get inspired. Scour magazines and speak to showroom experts for inspiration, look for a core range that meets style, space and practical needs. Look for flexibility in a range – something that enables designs and styles to be mixed and matched. Remember to consider the space available – do you need a bath? Do you want a wetroom? Can you practically fit these elements into the available space?
From large double walk-through designs to clever curved space-saving solutions. Look for those that are adjustable so they can be fitted easily into spaces that are not an exact size or against walls that are not quite vertical. Things to consider are shower shape and door style as well as shower trays and bath screens.
A bathroom should always be warm and inviting, with dry towels on hand whatever the time of day. Radiators should be considered alongside heated towel-rails and as well as beautiful design look at energy efficiency.

A wide range of shower styles with valves and heads are available to co-ordinate with your bathroom style, whether it’s traditional, contemporary or a clever fusion of both. Think about your water pressure - does your dream shower work with the water pressure you have? Whether it’s digital, electrical, power or mixer style look for those thermostatically controlled, so once the temperature is set it won’t change even if another tap is turned on elsewhere in the house.
Bath and basin taps can complement or add edgy contrast to a bathroom’s style. Choose from bath filler taps or shower mixer taps, sleek wall mounted styles, practical bath or basin mounted versions or style-statement floor-mounted taps ideal for freestanding baths. Look for those that feature ceramic disc technology instead of traditional rubber washers, which is hard wearing, resistant to erosion and needs no maintenance.
No bathroom is complete without a mirror. As well as those integrated into storage units there are also a whole range of options with clever features built in such as demisting abilities, shaver points, front illuminated models, back light LED lighting, even mirrors with integrated clocks for timekeeping on the move.
Create a style statement with tiling combinations that work both practically and beautifully. Whether tiled by zone or wall-to-wall, the choice can cleverly transform a space. The options available will bring a whole new level of personalisation to a bathroom. From wall and floor tiles to shower splash panels, simple stone designs, high gloss finishes, subtly textured and luxuriously patterned, designs can be mixed and matched to create a tiling scheme that’s unique – speak to a designer for some clever ideas.

Guide to bedroom decadence and design
Intelligent Technology Rules
The bedroom, a place to relax, a space that is truly yours, a place to escape – and a place to sleep. A bedroom needs to radiate tranquillity, its needs to match your personality and its needs to be the room in the house where you can escape the madness of daily life and dream a little dream – or two.
Incorporating a digital layer into the very fabric of the home without compromising on style is one of today’s mainstays of modern living. Leading a digital and connected life inside and outside the home means that at the hub, the kitchen, the space has to be flexible and cleverly designed so it can easily be transformed into somewhere to cook and dine as well as entertain, work, play and relax.
Designing the perfect bedroom takes time, effort and energy to ensure the end result is a place of perfect harmony. Bohen gives their guide for bedroom beauty to help get you started on the quest for boudoir brilliance.

Do you want your bedroom design to be driven by one bold statement colour that can accent the entire setting of the room? Choosing one bold statement wall that is then reflected in the bed linen, curtains and sumptuous accessories can add immediate impact to your sleeping quarters. Bang on trend colours this year include modern neutrals with blues and violets as striking statement colours which are easy on the eye but create an impact as you walk into the room.
