“For us, a clear highlight was Alex Chinneck’s surreal public artwork in Charterhouse Square – our boldest installation to date – which truly captivated our visitors while driving incredible engagement from the local community.

“Alongside more than 250 exhibitors, we saw a record 210 showroom partners take part across the Clerkenwell neighbourhood this year. Our talks programme, hosted at The Charterhouse for the first time, also brought together global voices to explore some of the most relevant and thought-provoking topics in design today.

Bathrooms2GO expands Venosa with compact L-Shape Furniture Packs

June 4, 2025

PJH’s value-led bathroom brand, Bathrooms2GO, has unveiled a clever new addition to its bestselling Venosa Furniture range – a series of L-shape furniture packs designed to bring smart storage and style to bathrooms, ensuites and cloakrooms with limited space.

Available in compact widths of 900mm and 1000mm, the new floor-standing units are ideal for awkward layouts or small room footprints. Designed for both versatility and ease of installation, each pack includes a 1- or 2-door cabinet, a one-piece white resin basin and worktop (available in left- or right-hand configurations), and a built-in housing area for a concealed cistern and back-to-wall WC.

Despite their compact footprint – just 210mm at the slimmest point – the new Venosa packs offer valuable below-basin storage and maximise usability with practical worktop space.

The resin and stone basin is manufactured from a highly durable and hardwearing composite, which is not only stylish and easy to clean, but also eco-conscious, produced using 100% renewable energy and fully recyclable.

Two all-in-one suite deals are also available, offering significant savings. These include the L-shape furniture pack, a Laurus back-to-wall WC with soft-close seat and concealed cistern, the Evola chrome basin tap, and the Soleil mirror – all under a single product code for added convenience.

“With its compact design, premium materials and value-led suite deals, Venosa is a smart solution for installers and homeowners alike,” said PJH. “It’s stylish, practical and built to last – perfect for today’s space-conscious bathroom projects.”

Venosa units come in a choice of four premium, water-resistant finishes – Gloss White, Gloss Grey, Anthracite, and Oak-effect. All units are pre-assembled, include soft-close Blum hinges, and are straightforward to fit.

As with all Bathrooms2GO products, stock is readily available with next-day delivery options direct to store or home. Ordering is seamless via the PJH Partners Portal.

The latest trends in accessible bathrooms by Fitzroy of London

March 31, 2025

In an era where inclusivity and comfort are essential, accessible bathroom designs have evolved to meet the needs of all users, no matter their age or ability. Fitzroy of London, a leading supplier of innovative and accessible bathroom solutions, unveils the latest trends shaping the future of accessible bathroom designs in hotels, hospitality and residential settings. These trends are not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that every bathroom can be a sanctuary of style, safety and accessibility.

Bathroom-Review-Universal-bathroom-design-Fitzroy-of-London

Universal design is a growing trend in bathroom design, and it’s becoming an essential aspect of any modern bathroom. The focus is on creating spaces that are accessible, functional and comfortable for people of all abilities and ages, ensuring that everyone can use the bathroom with ease and dignity. Inclusive design is also no longer solely about functionality; it also takes beauty and aesthetics into consideration, with many designers creating bathrooms that don’t look institutional or sterile.

Bathroom-Review-Level-Access-Fitzroy-of-London

Stylish grab-rails and supportive accessories

Incorporating stylish grab rails and supportive accessories is another increasingly popular trend in bathroom design. No longer clinical-looking, grab bars are now available in sleek finishes, such as matt black and brushed brass, which instantly complement contemporary interiors and, when not being used for accessibility purposes, can double up as a stylish towel rack. With designers making conscious decisions to incorporate these elements into their designs, bathrooms are becoming more inclusive, safer and visually appealing for all users.

Bathroom-Review-Inclusive-Design--Level-access

Level-access showers, including zero-thresholds

Level-access showers, including zero-threshold showers, are a key trend in modern bathrooms, offering a barrier-free entry that enhances safety and convenience. Fitzroy of London eliminates steps or raised edges, allows easy wheelchair access, and reduces the risk of tripping. Combining modern aesthetics with functionality, zero-threshold showers create a spacious and seamless look, making them an ideal choice for both accessibility and contemporary bathroom design. Shower seats can be designed to blend seamlessly into the overall design. Non-slip flooring is also imperative for the safety of all users, but particularly those who have difficulty standing.

Bathroom-Review-Contrasting-Colours-Fitzroy

Bathroom Review Multigenerational living

Contrasting colours & textures

Accessible bathrooms were once merely an afterthought when it came to their style and appearance, with most designers only focusing on their functionality. Whilst this plays an integral role, designers are beginning to prioritise the style and aesthetics of the space too. Whether in a residential, commercial or hospitality environment, bold contrasts and textured elements are known for improving the visual clarity for users with low vision, whilst glossy finishes will help to create depth and interest.

Adjustable & smart features

The rise of adjustable and customisable features in today’s bathrooms will help enhance comfort, independence, and style for all users. Removable grab rails, shower seats and showerheads, height-adjustable worktops, sinks, and mirrors can cater to various mobility needs and bring flexibility to a design space. Smart, hands-free taps and shower controls also offer both functionality and subtle elegance whilst prioritising hygienic practises and inclusivity. With bathroom designs evolving with changing needs, it is possible to maintain a modern and sophisticated aesthetic which works for all.

Fitzroy of London is at the forefront of designing innovative, functional bathrooms for today’s modern world. With expertise in accessible design and multigenerational living solutions, the company creates spaces which are aesthetically pleasing whilst honouring individual needs
