Saturday, May 8th, 2010

Stimulate Your Senses With Innova The bathroom industry is seeing an increase in hi-tech and multi-functional products entering the market – those that offer not only the basic cleaning functions, but also an ease of living and a sense of luxury and relaxation.

Highlighting its long-standing commitment to design and innovation, Roca has incorporated advanced technology into a new product, Innova – a mirror that allows you to see, touch and hear.

Innova is a generously proportioned mirror for the bathroom, albeit one with a difference. It comes with an integrated touchpad embedded within the glass, with time and room temperature display.

With this super cool touchpad, you’re also one “touch” away from your personal home entertainment.

Installed with a stereo FM radio as well as the option of connecting an auxiliary audio source (e.g. an MP3 player), Innova offers you the choice of listening to music and audio programmes in the comfort of your bathroom.

What’s more, every time the fluorescent light embedded inside the mirror is switched on, the demister device will be activated to keep the surface free of moisture.

What makes Innova even more extraordinary is that everything is fitted behind the glass, making it extremely easy to clean but also aesthetically pleasing and understated.
Available in two sizes 1000×790mm (approx. £1,410) and 790×790mm (approx. £1,234).

Innova will help stimulate your senses, allowing you to relax and refresh your body and soul!For further information please visit the Roca website.

Next 2 U Slinky Curves and Defined Lines

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Next 2 U Slinky Curves and Defined Lines Villeroy & Boch’s latest contemporary bathroom range, boasts minimalist design and defined lines, coupled with gentle curves and an elegant colour pallet.

Highlights include a unique cast mineral washbasin, intelligent storage and family friendly mirror cabinets, providing optimal lighting for all heights and sizes.

A fresh and modern choice is offered, to those in search of a range that places importance on beautiful design and a timeless finish.

Reduced design for great versatility: the new furniture programme integrates generous practicality with a clear, minimalist design – and, with diverse furniture and mirror widths available, adapts to every size of room:

  • The special design feature is the perfect unity of washbasin and vanity unit.
  • Offers either a mirror or mirror cabinet for every washing area; both options echo the striking form of the washbasin and the furniture colour to create a harmonious overall appearance.
  • Functional elements, such as sockets and lights, are integrated almost invisibly into the design; the light is embedded in the surface of the mirror, casting a vertical light that ensures optimum illumination of the washbasin.
  • In addition, the mirror cabinets also offer comfortable extras; soft-closing hinges, doors with mirrors on either side, sockets and, on the asymmetrical variants, additional mirror surfaces. The mirrors are optionally available with socket and light switch.
  • NEXT 2U offers a carefully designed storage system that keeps the bathroom looking spic and span; the inside of the vanity unit doors are fitted with accessory boxes, can be removed and washed in the dishwasher.
  • The large range of trendy colours available can be freely combined in the front and body colours.

NEXT 2U adapts to meet individual requirements and the generous amount of storage space, also makes the furniture programme attractive for smaller bathrooms.

Moores’ Make a Guest Bathroom Work for Everyone

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

 Moores Make a Guest Bathroom Work for Everyone Moores’ Furniture Group is a leading manufacturer and installer of quality kitchen and bathroom furniture in the UK, a market leader in the supply to both public and private house building markets.

Whether you have a tiny room downstairs or a spacious en-suite, make sure the bathroom you have set aside for guests is both stylish and practical, with these simple but effective tips from the Shades bathroom range from Moores’:

Many family bathrooms double up as one for guests, therefore, it’s important to have effective storage solutions.

A cupboard dedicated to children’s bath toys and bubble baths is a great idea and a cupboard left empty for guests’ toiletries works well too.

Shades furniture is designed with you in mind, so they supply plenty of clever storage solutions to ensure there’s a place for everything.

Small spaces benefit from wall-hung cabinetry – you can retain a sense of space more effectively if the floor is kept clear.

The Shades range includes narrow-depth cabinetry to ensure a clutter-free bathroom, while still allowing room to move around.

If you have a truly tiny space, don’t despair – with Shades’ new 500mm wide range it’s perfectly possible to have a WC, basin and storage in a space of just one square metre.

The company offers three collections suitable for small spaces;

The Country Collection; The Aspen Collection and…

The Senesi Collection in our picture. It features the rich beauty of walnut, which together with the stylish horizontal grain pattern, ensures this bathroom furniture is both rich and warm.

If you want to create a bathroom that is opulent and dramatic for your guests, then this is the range for you.

Luxury and a huge splash of drama ensure your guests will have to be dragged from the bathroom.

C.P. Hart Launch HoXton Furniture With Elegant Style

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

 C.P. Hart Launch HoXton Furniture With Elegant Style Leading designer bathroom supplier, C.P. Hart, has launched HoXton, an exclusive bathroom furniture collection.

Labelled after the cosmopolitan London streets of the same name, the name HoXton truly represents the artistic foundation of this design.

Mixing traditional ceramics with antique furniture inspired this exclusive edition; HoXton is British craftsmanship at its best, combined with innovative materials and cutting edge technology.

Prompted by an increase in demand for classic, timeless design, C.P. Hart worked with a UK manufacturer to design a range that would complement the iconic and exclusive ‘London’ collection of sanitary-ware.
HoXton delivers this traditional style, but coupled with simple plexi glass handles and eight broad-based fascia designs, offers a contemporary edge.

The HoXton collection comprises three floor-standing vanity units; each delicately shaped and sized to partner one of the ‘London’ basins, from the 50cm hand basin to the 110cm console slab.

Cross-bevelled mirrors, oval or rectangular, have been carefully selected to hang above the curvaceous and elegant units. Two tall cabinets in widths of 56cm and 76 cm complete the range.

The Solid wood structure is available in either Satin Black Lacquer or solid Walnut, with eight frontal options. These include four high gloss colours of Black, White, Plum and Mocha and four luxury options. The range of finishes imparts individuality and personality to the bathroom and allows the opportunity to tailor different styles within the collection.

The vanity units offer the option of a double draw unit, or a cabinet with a single door, whilst the tall units combine both.
All have soft close mechanisms; ply wood drawers and subtle plexi glass handles to complement any brassware finish.
The collection is only available from C.P. Hart and retails from £1,070 including VAT for the 56cm base unit.

 The Opulent Easy ‘Comp E1’ From Splash Distribution Splash Distribution has announced a sumptuous new composition from the Easy range of bathroom furniture.

‘Comp E1’ includes furniture designed in the rich Wenge finish, offset with crisp white wash-basins.

The geometric lines of the wall-hung furniture, contrast with the smooth curves of the capacious basins and the mirrors.

There is a wide variety of furniture options included within the collection, allowing immense design and planning options in any bathroom regardless of its size or shape.

Comp E1 uses wall-hung furniture that creates a feeling of space in a room, even in a small area where plenty of storage is required; wall hung furniture also allows easy access for cleaning purposes.

A composition can be chosen in a single colour for a simple, striking look, effective in smaller rooms; or in a combination of colours for a more elaborate design, often used to fill larger spaces.

Part of the appeal of the Easy collection, is that it transforms the bathroom from simply a place to bathe, into a multifunctional space in which to bathe, relax, re-energise and simply ‘be’.
