Bespoke Vanities

Vanities are looking more like living room furniture than traditional sinks these days. “Timber front vanities are still popular and help create warmth in a bathroom,” says Duffy, adding “wall-hung vanities are a more modern choice than a floor standing alternative and they create the illusion of space.”

Framless showers

Thank goodness as we wave goodbye shower curtains! Beautiful frameless showers may have once signalled ‘high end’, but are becoming far more commonplace. These sleek wonders can fit into any design scheme and will stand the test of time. Even if you don’t have a separate shower, a single pane of glass is a more functional, cleaner option than the clutter of a sliding door or shower curtain.

Free standing tub

There is something so magical about a freestanding tub. It is more than an aesthetic; it’s a thing of luxury, even romance. Finding the right shape tub is important for what is usually a small space. A soft curved tub can bring softness to an angular room, where as a more boxy or sleek tub can complement pastels or a bathroom with striking features.
