STEP INSIDE BATHROOMS Making a Splash


Matthew Brook, National Sales Manager for Moduleo UK and Eire, discusses his top trend predictions for 2019 and how these can be incorporated into a bathroom design.


When updating bathroom flooring, style is equally as important as substance. A customer’s choice has the potential to make or break the look and feel of a room.


Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring offers the perfect solution for the home. It is as durable as it is stylish and has been increasingly adopted by the residential market over the years.


Metallic Moments


Metallic-coloured bathroom fixtures and fittings are particularly sought-after at the moment.


Bathroom ranges featuring rose gold, copper and nickel tones are all increasing in popularity as the trend for industrial-style interiors continues to reach new heights.


As a flooring retailer, you should advise shoppers that flooring can provide a gentle nod towards the reflective trend without having to overhaul their bathroom completely. Flooring with subtle shimmering hues creates intrigue when caught by the light. Styles featuring blue or brown undertones pair perfectly with rose gold or copper accessories.


Concrete Revolution


Once seen as cold and harsh, concrete is undergoing a revolution for 2019.


To avoid a heavily industrial feel, pair manmade materials with organic elements such as woods and steel to create a refined and sleek space.


LVT is a great option if customers are looking to


avoid the feeling of cold stone under foot and maintain some warmth within the space.


Contrast neutral walls with natural-effect flooring, such as a warm, deep oak- coloured plank. This combination creates a luxurious ambiance in the bathroom.


Urban Oasis


With the wellness and wellbeing trends set to continue with full force throughout 2019, consumers are constantly searching for the latest ways to incorporate mindfulness into the home.


An easy way to achieve this is by bringing the spa-like experience into their own bathrooms.


LVT can be easily cleaned with a microfibre cloth,


making it the perfect option where the floor is subject to spills and splashes.


Tiles in modern and neutral hues offer a calm yet modern look, evoking a sense of tranquillity even after the most stressful of days.


Back to Black


Black interiors are high on consumers’ hotlists this year. A bold, dark bathroom reflects an indulgent, high-end atmosphere.


Matte black walls should be offset with textured flooring to add another level to the room.

We recommend a style with authentic knots and grains to create an effortlessly natural-looking floor. When choosing a floor to harmonise with black walls, opting for a light and airy neutral shade will lift the mood within the room.


Whether consumers choose to make a statement with metallics or opt for a serene urban oasis, the right flooring can truly help to transform a bathroom. LVT offers customers to luxury and flexibility to choose from a range of beautiful styles, without having to compromise on all the functionality required in bathroom settings.

When selecting bathroom flooring, consumers must consider factors such as changes in humidity and


moisture-resistance. LVT fares well in these conditions, along with being slip-resistant.


If customers are particularly concerned about


installation times, offer CLICK styles, which can be


laid on top of the old flooring without the need for subfloor preparation.
