INDUSTRY INDUSTRY VIEWS VIEWS


Customers add depth in the kitchen with quality raw materials


Matt Phillips, Head of UK operations at Rotpunkt says, “Darker colours have always been regarded as more luxurious and when paired with quality raw materials like walnut and glass, UK homeowners are creating a sophisticated look in the kitchen that adds depth and dimension.


As we look to next year, the need for tailored storage solutions will only increase and continue to serve individual needs and lifestyles that centre around the home. In fact, I predict that supersized cabinetry and vertical storage solutions that maximise footprint will continue to rise as they help to utilise space more effectively by creating new planning options for the modern kitchen living space.


In fact, the rise in wood décors are not only inspiring a stronger connection with nature but also satisfying the markets continued love of dark colours, rich texture and statement pieces in the home and kitchen living space.”

The contemporary bathroom zeros in on simplicity


As the bathroom industry prepares for autumn-winter, Grange Design shares the latest bathroom trend set to make an impact this season. Quiet luxury continues to promote wellness in the home, and the contemporary bathroom is zeroing in on simplicity. Helping to make everyday a spa day, this season will inspire a range of bathroom products that stand out for their level of restraint and ‘non design’ such as minimalist taps with slim levers, contemporary black accents and quality raw materials like stone and wood.

contours to make a feature of the basin. The mood is very much ‘quality over quantity’, with a trend towards more atypical finishes such as matt black and polished metals to create that fundamental ‘wow-factor’ and signature design identity.


Embrace the boutique bathroom revolution


Consumers are embracing colour and texture in their bathrooms, and this shift toward a bespoke, boutique style presents a golden opportunity for retailers.


Homeowners are captivated by the luxurious feel of boutique hotel bathrooms and are eager to recreate that spa-like experience at home.


The demand for individualisation is driving customers to seek unique,


customisable options. Retailers can meet this need by offering versatile products with various sizes and contemporary designs

in a wide range of colours. Modern neutrals are especially popular, adding understated luxury to spa-inspired bathrooms.


Technology also plays a significant role in this trend. Products featuring personalised lighting and temperature control are in high demand, alongside freestanding baths and rain showers.


By incorporating sustainable materials and minimalist designs, retailers can cater to consumers who value both functionality and style. Bold tile patterns and statement lighting can elevate these spaces, transforming bathrooms into stylish retreats that homeowners will love.
