“Consumers are creating more excitement in their bathrooms and we’re seeing a move away from safe choices,” says Nicole Russell, marketing manager of Italtile. “If you want to make a statement, patchwork tiles are the way to go. They’re available in different shapes, sizes and patterns, catering to every taste.”
2 SHUTTERED SHOWER WINDOWS
“Large windows in showers are becoming increasingly popular in modern homes, creating a seamless flow between inside and out,” says Briggie Kirchmann, marketing director of Plantation Shutters. However, if privacy is an issue, shutters offer a trendy, practical solution. “The design lines are clean, colours can be customised, and if you choose aluminum shutters, you won’t have to worry about them warping or perishing ‒ even when in contact with water.”
3 LIGHTING THAT’S FUNCTIONAL AND DECORATIVE
“Bathroom mirrors with built-in lights are all the rage this year,” says Kelly Klopper, junior brand manager of Eurolux. These mirrors also make life a little easier when applying make-up, shaving, and styling your hair. If you don’t want to replace existing mirrors, flank them with wall sconces for shadowless illumination.
