2009 saw the introduction of the colour black into the bathroom, with accents of black on taps and furniture presented in stylish finishes.

In 2010, black is now the defining colour in up-to-date bathrooms.

Basins, for so long only to be had in white, are now available in sleek, sexy black.

The Jacuzzi® Morphosis basin in black, epitomises the essence of the new trend and is available now from the new Jacuzzi® Designer Range.
This distinctive basin, designed by leading design house Pininfarina, oozes style and sophistication.

The stunningly proportioned Jacuzzi Nexus basin takes on a whole new persona, as its sleek lines are accentuated further by this new colour option; combine with a red, black or white deck for a real boutique look.

And why choose white when the Jacuzzi Bordo basin is now available in black? Better still, choose one of each and create your own unique look.
The Bordo basin is available in a choice of two sizes - 45cm and 55cm.

• Jacuzzi Morphosis 80cm countertop basin (£744.00) on Jacuzzi 100cm gloss red countertop (£550). Featured here.

• Jacuzzi Bordo 55cm countertop basin (£224.39) on Jacuzzi white countertop 100cm (£550).

• Jacuzzi Nexus 45cm countertop basin (£257.99) on gloss red countertop 140cm (£650).

Bold, decadent and highly desirable, a Jacuzzi basin in black is the ultimate design statement; add a touch of sophistication to your bathroom and update with this on-trend style, to create a sleek and stylish look.

The Jacuzzi Designer Range New Innovations catalogue is available to download now, and features highly desirable products that look superb and perform to the highest standard.

The new Morphosis Omega from Jacuzzi, oozes style and sophistication and is an idyllic hydro massage steam cabin; with four massage jets, steam bath with temperature control and a container for gels and oils.

The state of the art seat forms a sculptural line of teak that appears to drape itself within the enclosure, creating a dramatic design statement and a place for you to sit down and relax, whilst hot wet steam envelops you.

A steam treatment is a sensuous experience, which should leave you feeling relaxed; it uses wet heat to help improve circulation to the skin and clear out toxins.

Many people believe that regular steam treatments help them to fight off infection, as the circulation boost keeps their immune system in good order; it can also assist with a cold, by clearing airways and allowing you to breathe more easily.

The massage jets aid the rejuvenation process, by soothing your muscles to relax and relieve your body of aches and pains.

A regular steam has the added beauty benefit of cleansing and clearing your pores, giving skin a more radiant appearance and enhancing your general well being.

The electronic descaling system, limescale-prevention membranes on spouts and Jacuzzi Crystal Clear glass coating, mean you won’t have to spend hours cleaning.

You’ll find it difficult to keep your friends away, with this stylish beauty statement in your home.

Priced at £18,000.

A relaxing soak in a beautiful bathtub is hard to beat, but the design and visual appeal of a bath can easily be spoiled with invasive features, such as metal or plastic bath jets.
 
Villeroy & Boch, a word leader in bathroom innovation, is transforming the appearance of spa baths, with the launch of ‘Invisible Jets’, a system with built-in pop-up jets that are difficult to detect.

The new flush-mounted jets, developed especially for their Ultimate Fitness Whirlpool system, are the same colour as the bath, which means they are almost invisible when not in use.

The jets are arranged on two levels and can be accurately turned to the desired position; they only pop out of the wall of the bath when the massage function is required.

After the powerful massage, the jets automatically retract again and as they are flush with the wall of the bath, they are particularly easy to clean.

Invisible Jets come as standard with all bathtubs that feature the Villeroy & Boch Ultimate Fitness Whirlpool system.

Priced from £1,721 (excluding bath).

Bathrooms International, the leading specialist bathrooms company,
has always recognised that a bathroom is an important and private place that provides us with beneficial restorative powers!

Creating a spa at home is increasingly popular, and the benefits of water, steam, shower and massage jets can help alleviate tiredness, aching muscles and other ailments; e.g. a hot shower can invigorate, and release endorphins, while a cold shower can perform miracles on skin tissue.
 
Cheryl Gurner, a Director at Bathrooms International, kindly shares her knowledge and experience, by offering these tips on the healing powers of the spa environment:

Relaxation…A warm bath or shower will revive, warm and de-stress.
 
Energise…A warm, but not hot, shower will provide renewed energy.

Hydration…Dry winter skin will feel supple with ‘drenchers’ and rain showers, ready for moisturising.

Steam…Add a few drops of eucalyptus for instant relief from cold symptoms.

Massage…Keep a portable massage table near the bathroom, to enable you to drift from a warming water therapy straight into a massage.

Smell…Scent is nurturing and evocative, helping you to feel the way you want to feel; add it to the water or spray it on to calm and lift the spirit, making you  feel glamorous.

Mani-Pedi…Provide yourself with a chair, a cushion and a `tools’ basket to make it all feel like a treat, not a chore.

And to finish the effect make sure you have:

Towels, a dressing gown and soft leather or fur slippers - the softest and thickest you can find, in white.

Books and magazines, but not newspapers, and definitely no weight scales - because you want to relax and escape!
