Design without limits – where style meets simplicity

Kaldewei-bathroom-as-a-retreat-with-OyoDuo_SuperplanZero

The bathroom is more than a functional space — it’s a personal retreat a room to breathe, reset, and unwind. With warm materials, calming colours, and elegant forms, Kaldewei explains how to turn the bathroom into a favourite place that evolves with you through every stage of life. Well‑being shouldn’t depend on age or physical vitality; it should feel intuitive, comforting, and beautifully timeless.

Flowing shapes, smooth transitions

Floor-level, spacious and elegantly refined. Kaldewei shower surfaces crafted from exquisite steel enamel blend harmoniously into any room architecture and create a feeling of spaciousness. Their purist design language makes a design statement, the surface a delight for the senses: skin-friendly, safe underfoot and permanently beautiful. Innovative technologies such as Invisible Grip and Secure Plus ensure maximum slip resistance, you can feel the difference. Floor-level installation enables design freedom whilst providing barrier-free capabilities resulting in a space that offers independence and choice at every stage of life.   

Beautiful today. Comfortable tomorrow

Generous with space for movement, clean lines, and harmonious proportions it creates a sense of openness. And as life evolves, the bathroom adapts effortlessly, retaining its timeless character at every stage. Age-adapted elements, such as handles or adjustable seats, can be added with ease—without compromising on style. Redefining accessibility – where design takes precedence from the very start.

Luxury that is quiet

Kaldewei stands for design with attitude. Series such as the Superplan Zero, Cayonoplan Multispace and Calima shower surfaces introduce elegance and luxury to reliable comfort. The enamelled steel surface gently reflects the light, radiating understated style and natural sophistication. A wide range of colours – from a cosy Warm Beige to elegant Cool Grey and crisp pure White – opens up scope for individual design. The shower surfaces can either blend harmoniously into monochrome colour schemes or pose as striking eye-catchers. Contrasting designs can make orientation easier – this is particularly beneficial for people with dementia or impaired vision. Whatever colour scheme is chosen, be it a striking statement or harmonious subtlety, every detail of Kaldewei shower surfaces speaks of quality, durability, and a refined sense of beauty.

Form follows feeling

Small elements can make a difference: if you prefer a fully tiled shower area, Kaldewei’s awardwinning drainage systems including. FlowLine Zero and FlowPoint Zero prove that function and design go hand in hand. The patent-pending Click’n’Clean® mechanism ensures effortless cleaning, while stainless steel in modern colours promises a subtle, high-quality look.

A bathroom that evolves with life

Kaldewei takes bathrooms further – as spaces that inspire and provide a sense of security. Floor-level, elegant, durable. The result is a bathroom that offers comfort and enhances quality of life. Great design is more than just good looks – it accompanies us through life.

The 40th edition of kbb Birmingham was very special, with such a strong legacy to celebrate. Four decades of inspiring conversations, deep industry relationships and kbb Birmingham’s role as a cornerstone of the KBB industry felt particularly resonant this year. We’re hugely appreciative of the support from visitors, exhibitors and partners who have helped shape the show into what it is today.

“The 2026 show delivered everything from show‑stopping stand design and a breadth of innovation, to four days of genuinely meaningful discussions between visitors and exhibitors who clearly care about the future of the industry.

Many international brands clearly recognise the value of kbb Birmingham as a direct route to engaging with UK high‑street studios and independent retailers. It was a reminder that while the KBB industry continues to evolve, quality, innovation and human connection remain at its core.”

GROHE expands Essence ceramics with new basin designs and enhanced hygiene

GROHE-expands-customer-favourite-range-with-Essence-Counter-top-basin

Blending organic design with advanced performance, GROHE’s latest additions to its Essence ceramic collection introduce ultra-slim basins and next-generation WC technology for a more refined, hygienic bathroom space.

As one of the most personal spaces in the home, the bathroom continues to evolve as a sanctuary for wellbeing, relaxation and self-expression. Reflecting this shift, GROHE has expanded its best-selling Essence ceramic range with new basin designs and upgraded technologies that balance aesthetics with performance.

Inspired by nature, the Essence collection is characterised by soft curves, slim proportions and a minimalist language that brings a sense of calm to contemporary bathroom schemes. Designed for those seeking both style and tranquillity, the range combines understated elegance with practical innovation.

Elina Enqvist-Twomey, Leader, product management, fixtures – GROHE UK, comments: “With our new Essence range we’re delighted to give customers a modern, yet timeless addition to the bathroom that provides style and functionality in equal parts. The new range focuses on sleek and slim silhouettes that lean into Essence’s nature-inspired shape, evoking feelings of simplicity, purity and ultimately calm.”

At the heart of the expansion are two new basin lines that respond to current design trends. The thin-rimmed basins deliver a sculptural aesthetic, defined by an ultra-slim 5mm edge. Available as both vessel and countertop options, the designs offer flexibility across a range of bathroom layouts. The vessel basins come in round formats (40cm and 45cm) alongside a 60cm oval option, while the countertop basins are offered in 50cm, 60cm and 80cm sizes, all featuring the collection’s signature lozenge shape.

Finished in GROHE’s White Alpine, both basin styles incorporate advanced surface technologies to support hygiene and ease of maintenance. GROHE AquaCeramic coating helps repel dirt and limescale, while HyperClean glazing delivers antibacterial properties for enhanced cleanliness.

The wider Essence collection has also been updated, with the wall-hung WC now featuring GROHE’s TripleVortex flush technology. Using three water outlets, the system creates a powerful yet quiet, splash-free flow that effectively cleans the entire bowl. Combined with a rimless design and integrated antibacterial and anti-stick finishes, the latest updates reinforce the brand’s focus on hygiene-led innovation.

With its latest additions, GROHE continues to evolve the Essence range, offering specifiers and homeowners a refined solution that brings together contemporary design, comfort and high-performance functionality.

Quiet luxury – the longing for calm, warmth, and individuality

A-bathroom-that-exudes-quiet-luxury

Quiet luxury is not a trend to make a brash entrance, but rather it enters slowly, quietly winning you over. No elaborate productions, the focus is on an aesthetic that exudes calmness and longevity creating a bathroom that will retain its allure for many years to come.

The space is brought alive by an enduring design that opens up space for refuge and wellbeing. It is against this backdrop that the Studio F. A. Porsche Collection from Duravit makes its impact, combining minimalist design with the highest quality to create rooms that will outlast shortlived trends.

“Nowadays we no longer understand luxury to be about outward representation, but rather treating ourselves well. The Studio F. A. Porsche Collection creates a personal place of retreat that fosters wellbeing and turns the bathroom into the most private area of the house,” explained Henning Rieseler, design director at Studio F. A. Porsche.

The Studio F. A. Porsche Collection – a bathroom range that creates benefits

The bathroom range from Duravit combines sleek lines with functional sophistication and an ageless design language. The products are characterised by sculptural precision, balanced proportions, and a minimalist aesthetic.

However, the collection’s approach to design goes way beyond pure aesthetics. “With the Studio F. A. Porsche Collection, we adopted the approach that our founder Ferdinand Alexander Porsche took when designing the legendary 911. It’s an iconic design that’s the product of rigorous simplicity, which gives rise to a sensual design language that can be experienced with the emotions,” explained Rieseler.

The range additionally represents a conscious investment in quality and durability. With durability being an essential factor, especially in the bathroom a space that is used frequently over a period of many years and also represents a contribution to sustainability. The Studio F. A. Porsche Collection creates rooms that are functional, have an emotional impact and outlast short-lived trends.

Luxury that quietly wins us over, guarantees long-term enjoyment, and creates genuine benefits thanks to its longevity. Two-bathroom installations that have an immediate impact show the Studio F. A. Porsche Collection blending harmoniously into a calm interior:

Clarity that creates a sense of calm – bathroom 1

This bathroom interior (pictured top) is brought alive by a calm underlying approach that consciously leaves room for individual personalities. Clean lines and elegant design touches add structure, which is offset by gentle accents.

The centerpiece is the washing area which makes a bold statement with its clear design language and interplay of white and anthracite. An anthracite coloured niche cuts between the generously proportioned ceramic washbasin
and white drawers to lend the ensemble depth and character. The illuminated mirrored cabinet and the tall cabinet with case door follow this logic consistently: on the inside they keep things tidy, while a vertical niche in anthracite on the outside sets a clear tonal contrast.

The design of the wall-mounted toilet is restrained, blending with the calm lines of the room. A half-open wall surrounds the bathtub offering space for essential items on its surface.

Semi-transparent curtains gently filter the light to create an airy ambience. Sinks and accessories with a matt
stainless steel surface underscore the design. The elegant, brushed effect lends the metal a striking
artisanal note. The end result – a room that is brought alive by elegant contrasts and impresses with its calm, sensual charm.

Colour harmony with perceptible depth – bathroom 2

Gentle beige, sand, and taupe shades dictate the atmosphere of this bathroom and lend it a calm, warm depth. Details in black create clear graphical accents and add structure to the interior without disrupting its harmony.

The muted centerpiece is the gently shaped above-counter basin – sensual in its contours, reserved in its expression. The floating, monochrome vanity unit creates visual calmness and functional clarity. The mirror element with its open shelf and integrated lighting rounds off the ensemble around the washing area.
The tall cabinet blends in elegantly to the side, offering space for personal items in the integrated niche.

Positioned in front of a half-open wall, the bathtub continues the gentle formal language of the washbasin and creates a silent connection in the room. Black taps and accessories create a continuous contrast that follows through to the toilet flush plate.

The shower area opens to the side, shielded by a wall that exudes structural stability and expansiveness. A strip made of glass bricks allows light and transparency without compromising privacy. Airy curtains gently diffuse the light for an intimate effect. The varying textures of fabrics and carefully positioned accessories lend the room depth, material presence, and a gentle sensuality.

Abode 2026 bathroom design trends

Bathroom-Review.-Abode-LEVARTO-Wall-Black-IOX-Tablet-Black

Abode is providing expert advice on the most popular bathroom trends influencing both home and lifestyle in 2026. Dave Boddy, product manager at Abode has identified three top trends for the basin, bath and shower zone next year, and these include:

1. Off-white: Move over all-white sanitaryware as next year, the bath and basin will shift in colour to introduce bolder fixtures and fittings in all shades of grey. Now a popular method for coordinating with other products like the brassware, furniture, and accessories that can hang your bathrobe or serve practical functions like grooming, dark and light grey sanitaryware is now the most sought-after colour when compared to white. Proving that furniture is no longer the principal source for introducing colour into the bathroom, 2026 will welcome a range of coloured basins and baths so you can create a bold statement, which either blends or contrasts with your style of bathroom décor.

2. Textural Layering: As texture continues to change how we view the bathroom in terms of sight and touch, it’s no surprise that the latest products are presenting more tactile qualities to bring the surface of your tap and basin to the fore! From fluted design elements such as grooved wall panelling and straight-knurled lever handles across the brassware to natural materials in accents of metal and stone, these types of textures are being used to create bathrooms which are rich in detail, deeply personal, and in tune with nature. Texture is being applied across all elements of the bathroom as a way to personify the space, and fluted design elements are considered the top choice in 2026 for adding depth, and providing a direct contrast against smooth surface areas like the basin and bath, and wall and floor tiles.

3. It’s all about the finish: As we continue to enjoy defining our own personal style in the home, next year is all about the finish! From classic and bright to matt and modern, the bathroom will enjoy a range of special finish options and surface treatments in 2026, with the most popular taking inspiration from trending interior styles such as Japandi, and the Biophilic design trend. Look out for distinct metallic finishes in warm and cool tones with stand-out tap and shower designs moving towards tactile finishes that look as good as they feel. Whether polished, brushed or antique, brass remains a prime pick but in 2026, this enduring tap finish will be combined with key elements in matt black and white to provide a fresh take on using brass in the bathroom. We are also noting a growing desire for darker finish options in the bathroom with gunmetal emerging as the new favourite. Considered both a cool and warm metallic thanks to its charcoal blue undertones, gunmetal is deeper than traditional chrome to offer a sleek, industrial vibe in the bathroom and shower room, which is perfect for pairing with ultra-modern grey sanitaryware!

Six timeless autumn bathroom trends that deliver warmth & texture with Nôsa

Bathroom-Review-Nosa-Autumn-Bathroom-Trends-elche-metal-copper-porcelain

This autumn, bathrooms are moving beyond ‘white’ towards inviting neutrals, tactile textures and beautifully engineered fixtures, choices that not only feel luxurious now but also stand the test of time and enhance resale value. 

With Nôsa’s new Terra Tile range—and acclaimed products across freestanding baths, basins, and showers—creating a design-led home spa is simpler than you think.

These six editor-approved trends, each paired with specific Nôsa designs, help you build a bathroom that’s seasonal yet timeless, stylish yet practical, and undeniably luxurious. 

1. Small Changes, Big Warmth: Autumnal Metals & Smart Water Use

If a full refurbishment isn’t on the cards, aim for design-led upgrades. Autumn’s mood is all about depth and glow, which you’ll get instantly from refined metal detailing.

Try Elche Metal porcelain tiles (pictured at the top) to add dramatic, light-catching accents to a splashback or feature wall. Layer with the Faro robe and towel accessory range, plus matching bathroom shelves.

Upgrade with eco-conscious technology: Nôsa’s thermostatic showers are not just sleek but excellent for smart water usage and a more stable, energy-efficient experience.

Why it adds value:

Quality brass and thermostatic controls read as “future proofed.” Buyers appreciate comfort and cost-savvy engineering.

2) Trade Stark White for Warm Neutrals

Swapping out cold whites for mineral-rich neutrals creates instant calm. For example, try out a hero vanity such as the Cappuccino Missoni for a warm, contemporary unit that anchors the room without shouting.

For compact cloakrooms: Nobu Crema Marfil wall-hung marble basin (pictured below), brings sculptural luxury in smaller bathroom or cloakroom spaces.

Bathroom-Review-Nosa-nobu-crema-marfil-marble-wall-hung-basin

Underfoot or on feature walls: Nôsa’s Alicante Macchia porcelain tiles deliver soft movement and warmth.

Design note: Warm neutrals give you longevity. They’re friendly to changing trends, fantastic for everyday use and future resale.

3) Go Large Format for a Seamless, Spa-Like Sanctuary

Large-format tiles reduce grout lines, making rooms feel bigger, calmer and easier to clean. A statement surface, such as the Madrid Gold porcelain tiles from the Terra Tiles collection (pictured below), adds sophisticated golden veining, warmth, and decorative detailing. Ideal for a master suite when you want a “hotel room” at home.

Value: Seamless surfaces and simple maintenance are perennial buyer pleasers; clean architecture never dates.

Bathroom-Review-Autumn-Bathroom-Trends-Nosa-madrid-gold-a-porcelain-tile

4) Add Tactile Texture and Instant Design Credibility

Luxury textures are how you turn ‘nice’ into designer-inspired, home spa environments. Nôsa’s Terrassa Rib Cut beige porcelain tiles introduce natural movement, perfect for a feature wall behind a vanity unit. The warm tactility reads bespoke, while staying neutral.

Why it works: Texture adds shadow play and depth, creating a softly lit “spa vibe” that feels premium all-year-round.

5) Dial Up the Drama with Deeper Tones & Sculptural Forms

Autumn is prime time for shadowy hues and statement pieces that elevate the everyday and, crucially, refresh dated bathrooms.  The Senna Carbon Fibre freestanding bath, a limited-edition centrepiece featuring sleek, contemporary lines.

Graphic surfaces: Try Nôsa’s San Cristobal African Gold porcelain tiles, delivering layered, luxurious veining.

Architectural basin: The Rico Pietra Grey Marble wall-hung basin brings dramatic natural stone veining in a crisp silhouette.

Finish the picture: Add the Faro Matt Black wall-hung rimless toilet for a clean, modern profile.

Resale value: One or more memorable focal designs—i.e., a freestanding stone bath and architectural accessories – complemented by coherent dark hardware create a designer bathroom that photographs, feels, and sells beautifully.

6) Embrace Greens & Organic Woods for Grounded Calm. 

Green is the serene neutral of 2025 and beyond, especially when paired with wood tones. Nôsa’s Vermont Olive Green freestanding stone bath is celebrated for its natural hue and heat-retaining properties for longer, more relaxing soaks.

Underfoot: Try the Pamplona Khaki Porcelain floor tiles, brings the warmth of timber with the practicality of porcelain.

Why it lasts: Nature-inspired palettes sidestep trend fatigue. They’re calming, photogenic and age gracefully with the rest of your home.

Bathroom-Review-Nosa-alicante-macchia-vecchia-porcelain-tile-600-

Timeless Bathroom Design Adds Real Value to Your Property

A beautiful bathroom is more than a mood; it’s a smart upgrade. Here’s what buyers notice:

Materials that age well: porcelain, engineered stone, and real marble details in calm palettes.

Water-smart engineering: thermostatic showers and quality brassware signal lower running costs and thoughtful specification.

Low-maintenance surfaces: large-format tiles and wall-hung fixtures read clean and modern.

One signature piece: a design-led freestanding bath or sculptural basin gives the room identity 

Cohesive hardware: consistent metals (brass, copper, matt black) create a high-end finish without full renovation.

Ready to warm up your bathroom for autumn and future-proof it for years to come? Explore Nôsa ’s Terra Tile range and design-led baths, basins and showers, or book a design consultation to create a scheme tailored to your space.

Duravit’s Danish design meets boutique comfort at Color Hotel Skagen

Bathroom-Review-_Referenz_Color_Hotel_-©-Color-Hotel-Skagen

The Color Hotel Skagen has opened a new wing featuring Duravit’s minimalist Luv and ME by Starck ranges. Designed by Arkitema Architects and inspired by Skagen’s dune landscape, the 32-room boutique hotel features state-of-the-art rooms, a restaurant with regional cuisine, a wellness area with sauna and outdoor pool, plus a wide range of leisure activities.

Bathroom-Review-Referenz_Color_Hotel_-©-Color-Hotel-Skagen_

Constructed to deliver new spaces for relaxation and togetherness, its two new wings draw inspiration from the landscape, lending the building a clean architectural style. The hotel is situated where the North Sea meets the Baltic and is the largest hotel in the city.

The robust and energy-efficient building features dark formwork, combined with warm wood accents. Large windows offer stunning views of the dune landscape and are offset by balconies that complement the clean architectural language, lending transparency and lightness to the design. This approach is carried through into the interior, where the bathrooms combine serenity with natural materials. Duravit’s bathroom solutions complete the holistic concept.

Calm tones, clean shapes in the bathroom

Light natural stone tiles in greige and sand emphasise the Scandinavian character of the building. The bathtubs and above-counter basins from the Luv range combine homely warmth with clean forms. The wall-mounted toilets and vanity units from the ME by Starck range are a perfect match for this interior.

Space to arrive

The clean design continues in the rooms. Bright tones, ample daylight, and natural materials create a tranquil environment. Upholstered beds, rattan and fabric seating, and well-placed details, such as lamps and plants, help create a tranquil retreat that combines state-of-the-art- art comfort with the individual flair of a boutique hotel.
