Cutting-Edge Design and Innovation in Bathroom Furniture
Innovation and design in bathroom furniture have come a long way in recent years, with manufacturers and designers creating functional and
aesthetically pleasing solutions to enhance the overall bathroom experience.

As we deal with the after-effects of the last few years, it’s natural to look for quick wins in a fluctuating market. However, it’s clear the future of product buying will be aligned with what the most environmentally-friendly choice is. In the bathroom industry when we’re dealing with water, this is a big opportunity.
If sustainability is part of your core business values, there are opportunities to be found in every new range or redesign. From water-saving flush mechanisms to lowering the bath overflow, small and frequent steps can be as impactful as huge strategic strides.

Customisation allows consumers to personalise their bathroom furniture. Modular or fitted units with interchangeable components make it easier to create a tailored storage solution and the flexibility enables homeowners to adapt the furniture to their specific needs and available space. The bathroom furniture market continues to evolve, offering a wide range of options to suit different styles, preferences and budgets.
Boiling its way to the top
Boiling water taps have grown rapidly in popularity over the past ten years. Something that was originally viewed as an unnecessary luxury item has now become a household essential for millions across the globe. The primary reason for this is convenience. We live in a world where people want things delivered at speed. On average, we spend four months of our lives waiting for the kettle to boil. Not so with a boiling water tap, which delivers the exact amount of boiling water needed instantly – helping consumers save water and electricity.
Concerns around safety used to be a significant factor in dissuading people to invest in a boiling water tap. However, with constant innovation, boiling water taps on the market today are completely safe to use. With user-friendly, in-built safety mechanisms that make it virtually impossible to turn on boiling water by accident, they are ideal for families with small children or those with restricted mobility.
