WELCOME

Welcome Hello and welcome to the Designer Guide to Bathroom Design 2017.

There is such a wide selection of furniture, brassware, sanitaryware and technology available for today’s bathroom specifiers to consider that it can sometimes be a daunting prospect. There has been a marked shift away from ‘standard’ sizes, colours, materials and configurations towards a far more bespoke feel for bathroom components and feeding the higher aspirations that many clients now have for this vital area of the home. This year’s ISH bathroom exhibition in Germany reiterated how the sector has become increasingly diverse in its product offering, opening up a multitude of exciting creative opportunities for anyone involved in bathroom design. Of course, the key to any successful project is having the right partners who can help you make the perfect product selections. This guide features some of the very best brands in the business, all of which are potentially invaluable sources of help and ideas for enabling you to over-deliver on your future projects.

It incorporates advanced technology along with customisable features,

while still maintaining balanced curves and ergonomic design. Veil uses UV light and electrolysed water to self-clean which, when combined with sensor activated flushing and lid opening, offers the optimum in hygiene. The newly launched ModernLife bathroom fixture collection from Kohler, embraces modern essentialism: where striking design must also serve a purposeful function.
