How to get your bathroom on trend

The bathroom – the sanctuary of the home, the first place you visit every day to freshen up and possibly the last place you retreat to in the evening to unwind. So how are homeowners kitting out their bathroom retreats this year?

Klässe Designs, the Aberdeen showroom which offers an extensive range of luxury bathrooms and tiles, gives us the lowdown on the top five bathroom trends for 2017: Essentially a fully waterproofed bathroom, a wet room encompasses a level walk-in shower as opposed to a step-in tray. No need to clean the shower screen, you can literally just wash and go. Wet rooms are, in general, easier to clean. There’s no shower screen or tray to worry about and if you go for a wall-hung sink and toilet, even easier. This is also a great option for small spaces as it removes the need for a bath and is ideal for disabled users. This is essentially an enclosed space, which uses high-temperature steam to create a highly humid, yet dry environment. These rooms are known to support several health benefits, such as relieving the discomfort of sinusitis, while providing a relaxing experience. More households are choosing to add this to their bathroom layout, if space allows. Heat, relaxing light therapy and enriching aromas can all be controlled by a digital touch pad. You don’t just have to settle for the standard white shower tray. Many people like to look at every last detail in their bathrooms and that includes shower trays to complement or match a colour scheme. The colour choices are vast and there is also the option to have granite-like flecks to add another dimension to your bathroom. Many people like to listen to music in the bathroom when relaxing in the bath or getting ready for a night out. Why not ditch the need for taking your phone into the bathroom or having to install unsightly speakers when you can install a Bluetooth mirror? Many also come with LED lights which are motion activated making this the perfect mirror for cosmetic use. Remove the need for clumsy bath taps with a bath filler to complete a minimalist and sleek bathroom finish. With simple controls, you can quickly and easily control both the temperature and flow of your bath, with a smart LED showing you when your desired temperature has been reached. You can even use a remote control to start your bath from up to 10 metres away – perfect for those cold mornings when you really don't want to get out of bed until the very last minute. Easy to install and even easier to use, introduce your bathroom to 21st century bathing.
