HEATING, VENTILATION & SERVICES 33 THE HOTTEST TRENDS Steve Birch of Vogue (UK) explores the latest bathroom heating trends for 2020. T
he desire for versatile, energy- efficient solutions in the home has given the industry the opportunity
to create new designs which are light- weight, non-polluting, durable and most of all, visually appealing. Showing the same level of attention to the home accessories is essential this year, and feature radiators and towel warmers will become a necessary bathroom component that is now consid- ered central to a design and interior scheme.
