here is no doubt that the explosion of colour we have been experiencing in
coloured basins and freestanding baths to the more subtle, muted rich tones of brushed brassware, the demand for personalisation through colour, is here to stay. As manufacturers and designers continue to

innovate to meet the needs and desires of consumers, we can expect to see several new ranges introduced next year or additions to existing ranges to cover a wider choice of colour finishes. But let’s not just colour, for colour’s sake. Innovations that help achieve a bathroom space
that is as functional as it is beautiful, give careful consideration to the design, quality of finish and practicality of each product.
Those who focus on attention to detail to
perfect the most refined colour tones and design, will reap the rewards by appealing to the more discerning consumer with an eye for quality and longevity. The current trend for subtle personalisation
with brassware or more daring, bold colours for the bath is a beautiful way to inject fun and personality into any bathroom project. With most consumers choosing the safer
option of softer, more muted colour combinations, we are sure to see a rise in demand for luxurious deep tones such as brush brass and gunmetal finishes in brassware, coupled with a feature bespoke coloured bath or basin. Look out for future trends that mix innovative
designs and finishes to give a new twist to the familiar, allowing the consumer options reflective of their personality without being too bold.
Aqualla – The story of Kyloe I
nspired to create a family of modern yet classic design taps, in a range of
refined finishes, with a complete product range, attractive to both the installer and end-user, the team at Aqualla had the vision to introduce a flagship collection, superior to all others. By focusing on existing features within their
portfolio and listening to market feedback, the team worked to make this vision a reality. It was not an easy task, but one they were
passionate about bringing to life. Late 2019, following several months of
development, the Kyloe collection was born. The
excitement was tangible. But something just wasn’t right. Chrome, Matt Black, and Brushed Nickel
finishes were perfect and ready to go to beautiful bathroom showrooms across the country, but the team weren’t sure about the Brushed Brass finish. They knew it could be better; it just needed a little more time to perfect. It had to wait. In a bid to achieve the most refined, superior
Brushed Brass finish, the team rejected several rounds of colour sampling. Some were too yellow, some too bright, and it
had to be just right! Following a year in the making, Aqualla finally
agreed on the wonderfully warm, luxuriously rich tone of Kyloe Brushed Brass that we see today. ‘The creation of Kyloe Brushed Brass was a
labour of love for the team. We wanted to achieve a deep warm tone, distinctive and rich, unlike some of the more yellow, bright finishes we currently see in the marketplace. Hopefully, you adore the result as much as we do’ Julianna Andrews, Marketing Manager. The Kyloe range offers a subtle nod to the
turn-of-the-century industrial era, with an unassuming aesthetic charm and luxurious diamond-cut cross knurling detail.
