luxurious – a word that often denotes high-end but in today’s modern home really refers to the level of comfort and relaxation. A statement bath or washbasin will be focal points, but bathroom design today is much more focused on, it’s more to do with the bathroom experience as a whole and how the finished space make people feel. Designed far less around passing trends and
much more as part of a lifestyle choice, sanitaryware is now inspired by the spa-style
ince the pandemic, consumers have turned their full attention to making
home pampering, comfort and a sense of wellness. For fixtures such as baths, basins and WCs this has resulted in a resurgence in curves – we’re moving away from the strong geometrical lines that have been such a big part of the minimal bathroom, towards something a little softer. Colour is being used much more in the
bathroom too, particularly in terms of sophisticated soft pastel shades and, matt black and timeless grey. We’re seeing this on baths, basins and WCs, certainly with the latest additions to the RAK Ceramics portfolio. An all-white bathroom still has its place, of course, but as the bathroom becomes an extension of our living spaces, the introduction of soft colours takes away the clinical feeling and adds personality. From a design perspective this trend is ideal for creativity, with colourful accents scaled up or down for a tailored approach depending on the setting.
