Brass is back in a big way!

Hello warm golden tones! Warm metal faucets and fixtures are making a comeback as an overall home trend this year. The reason? They’re perfect in so many different style settings!

homeowners have today. So if you’re looking to add a dash of sophistication to your room, start by adding warm golden-toned items.

Or if your wanting a more modern architectural look try some of the new two tone metallic mixer’s and tapware with matte black and brushed rose gold or chrome and matte black. 

The Industrial Look

A modern and elegant design reminiscent of a New York City loft is now taking over bathrooms as well. Think brushed gold tapware, exposed rafters, brick tiled walls, reconditioned cast iron free standing baths tubs, basins with offset shelves or the use of polished concrete floors. Designers are now embracing the unique and imperfect style of rustic wood to warm the atmosphere. While some homeowners choose to DIY their bathroom for an upgrade like this, it’s always a good idea to contact a pro. Drop us an email and let's have a chat!

Vanity Lighting

The use of creative lighting techniques, fixtures and dimmers are on the trend to set a relaxing and elegant mood. Homeowners can experiment different styles and options including having light bars, wall sconces, LED strips or chandeliers. The idea here is to add both functionality, style and set the right mood to the bathroom. Something that enhances bathroom design and makes its overall ambiance pleasing.

Smaller bathroom is in.

For some, having a luxurious, spacious bathroom with marble tiles and flooring may be a dream come true.

But large spaces aren’t always an option and bathroom trends are backing away from that as we’re leaning towards smaller bathrooms with focus on efficiency and small-scale luxury.

Practicality is in with compartments in drawers, cabinets and shelves being more sought after than ever.

So that in mind why not add an en-suite..
