October marks the launch of PJH’s latest Bathrooms to Love Autumn/Winter Collection. Showcased in an aspirational new 356-page brochure, the enhanced Collection features a wide range of new products across most product categories, designed to meet evolving trends and customer tastes. As always new brand collections are supported with a package of stockist sales and service benefits, all aligned with PJH’s goal of being the customers ‘First Choice’

The theme of this season’s Bathrooms to Love launch centres around the BRUSHED BRONZE finish, inspired by the growing demand for greater variety in colour, finish, and texture to help create ever more personalised and coordinated bathroom design schemes.

Kimberley Cooper, PJH’s head of marketing and product, said, “Brushed Bronze is a beautiful, warm finish that complements a wide range of materials and textures within any bathroom project. It evokes a sense of elegance and sophistication, which is why we are excited to introduce a new portfolio of products boasting this stunning finish as part of our latest Bathrooms to Love launch.”

New ranges, now available with a Brushed Bronze finish include RefleXion Iconix wetroom panels, bath screens, brassware, thermostatic mixer showers, ladder radiators, mirrors, flush plates/buttons and wastes – enabling designers to coordinate finishes throughout the bathroom.

Known for its design-led bathroom furniture ranges, Bathrooms to Love is delighted to welcome another modular design to its portfolio, KUBA. This stunning wall-hung range provides practical storage space, including basin units and a tall unit. All feature a textured oak finish with handleless drawers and doors. Soft curved vertical lines provide a tactile, au-natural look and feel – which, of course, combine perfectly with the new brushed bronze collections.

A new range of minimalist Bath Fillers with an integrated valve, eliminating the need for a bath tap, is also new to the Collection. They are available in Brushed Bronze, matt black, chrome, and brushed brass.        

In addition to the new brochure, the Bathrooms to Love product launches are supported with a refreshed platform of sales tools, including new point-of-sale materials, product swatches, take-away range cards and product feature stickers. Also available are new product QR codes with Augmented Reality links, engaging new product videos, and excellent display deals.

The popular Bathrooms to Love website also showcases the new Autumn Collection, and PJH urges any stockists not already listed on the ‘Showroom Finder’ to get in touch now, as well as join the growing Bathrooms to Love social media platforms, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and TikTok.

Bathroom manufacturer HiB has launched its latest collections focusing on space-saving solutions for the bathroom.

Small bathrooms and cloakrooms are the inspiration behind this season’s launch, thanks to the ongoing trend for more compact spaces. Adding a second bathroom or cloakroom can increase the value of a house by 6 percent (Nationwide), and Pinterest searches for “downstairs bathrooms” have seen an increase of 60 percent in recent months.

Along with innovative, space-saving bathroom solutions, HiB’s latest launch also introduces 13 new ranges, including mirrors, cabinets, furniture, basins, brassware, accessories, and entirely new products such as handheld bidets. 

Bastille – Uniquely Designed

Pictured top, the new Bastille collection of mirrors and cabinets features a uniquely designed mesh texture that will elevate any space with its standout styling. 

Available in black chrome or brushed brass, Bastille combines modern functionality with a distinct aesthetic and features innovative technology such as colour-temperature illumination and a heated pad to reduce condensation.

Available in two sizes, Bastille is the ultimate combination of style and substance.

Tranquil – Simple Styling

HiB’s popular Tranquil furniture range has been refreshed. With the introduction of two new finishes and additional on-trend colour choices, it now offers even more versatility and style to meet consumers’ needs. 

Tranquil combines functionality with sophisticated aesthetics and offers a series of wall-hung and floor-standing options, along with a range of finishes to complement different bathroom styles and sizes.

Cayla – Compact Storage

Designed for smaller spaces, the Cayla range of mirrored cabinets has been designed to fit effortlessly into compact bathroom spaces.  

Bathroom-Review-HiB-launches-new-collections-Cayla

With a sleek 10cm depth, Cayla (left) is perfect for ensuites and cloakrooms where space is limited. The mirrored finish complements any existing bathroom furniture. With extra features such as LED illumination and a heated pad to reduce condensation, this range ensures that even the smallest of bathrooms can be a modern, desirable space.

Ash Chilver, Product Director at HiB, said: “With the trend towards enhancing the home by adding additional spaces such as cloakrooms and ensuites, we understand how homeowners need to be savvy with their bathroom spaces and are thrilled to launch our new collections that address these challenges.

“HiB’s in-house product development team’s commitment to design excellence has ensured the collections blend both form and function so that homeowners can incorporate the latest styles and colours, regardless of their space.”

Even if your bathroom is small or irregularly shaped, you can still indulge in relaxing, life-affirming moments with clever planning and the right space-saving products. A wide range of compact bathtub or space-saving options offer attractive solutions for maximising space and combining functionality with comfort.

Compact & stylish

Bathroom-Review-Space-saving-installation-Duravit.

Built-in bathtubs are generally installed between two walls or in a corner, which makes them a good choice for smaller bathrooms. Sizes starting at 1,400 x 750mm or narrow models with widths of just 650mm fit perfectly into any floor plan. Freestanding tubs, such as the Duravit D-Neo, measure 1,600 x 750mm and are available in compact sizes. Placed near the wall, these bathtubs slot harmoniously into the room, creating a lighter visual impression thanks to the free space below the backrests.

Odd indeed

Bathroom-Review-Duravit-Space-saving-bathtubs

Asymmetric bathtubs are perfect for irregular-shaped rooms and enable a luxurious bathing experience with a comparatively low fill volume even for small floor plans. With sizes starting at just 1500 x 800mm, the trapezoid Duravit No.1 bathtub offers bathing comfort in the smallest of spaces. Because of its asymmetric properties, it is ideally suited to a corner installation.

One for all


Bathroom-Review-space-saving-installation-small-bathrooms

Combined bathtubs that integrate a walk-in shower and bathtub, such as the Shower & Bath model with dimensions of just 1,750 x 700mm, are ideal for the most limiting of floor plans. With an integrated glass shower wall, cushion and easy entry, this option guarantees maximum comfort and a range of choices that make everyday life easier for those with restricted mobility.

Duravit‘s ranges include a variety of harmonious, natural colours that allow architects and designers to create unique and calming bathroom spaces

Lush meadows, dense forests, rustling leaves – green symbolises nature and provides balance in a room. At the same time, green is more than just a colour: it has a positive effect on our mood and well-being, making it ideal for our own private feel-good oasis.

A bathroom with a green colour spectrum creates a relaxing, calming atmosphere. Bathroom objects, such as the wall design, or plants, can be combined with nature’s own colour palette and integrated into the bathroom in various ways. Blending with white vanity units or wooden elements within the bathroom furniture also creates a harmonious effect.

Facets of nature

Green is as versatile in the bathroom as it is in nature. Nuances across the colour spectrum have varying impact on the room’s atmosphere. Lighter tones, such as the soft Pale Green from the Sivida by Starck washing area range, bring the room to life and create elegant splashes of colour. In contrast, darker variations, such as the strong Blue Green of the Vitrium by Christian Werner range, exude elegance and provide striking highlights.

Bathroom-Review-01_Green_Bathrooms-Sivida-by-Starck-Duravit.

On top: The combination of Green and White creates interesting contrasts. The two-tone above-counter basin from the Sivida by Starck range with a Pale Green outer and White inner basin – or the other way round – is a particularly elegant variant.

Light colours: As shown in the picture at the top of the page, painted walls are a simple way to bring colour into the bathroom. Muted shades of Sage are perfect for creating an elegant impression. White bathroom objects like those from the Sivida by Starck washing-area range create contrasts and guarantee a harmonious overall picture.

Bathroom-Review-Green_Bathrooms-Duravit

Canvas: Patterned wallpapers can be used to create tasteful and unique bathrooms. Whether a guest toilet or main bathroom, the result is a real eyecatcher that transforms ordinary spaces into captivating visual experiences. The intricate patterns and vibrant colours add personality and charm to the bathroom.

Green_Bathroom-Review-Duravit

Tone in tone: Washing-area combinations in matching colour shades make a statement in the bathroom. The exclusive Vitrium Colour Christian Werner concept in Blue Green provides appealing tone-on-tone solutions that elevates the aesthetic of any bathroom space. This sophisticated approach ensures a harmonious and cohesive look, transforming the bathroom into a stylish and serene retreat.

Tiles are a functional and aesthetic way of integrating green into the bathroom. For instance, emerald-green tiles combined with the white ME by Starck washbasin from Duravit create a luxurious and stylish ambience. Pictured below – Left.

Home jungle: Plants enhance the atmosphere and bring the bathroom to life. If the bathroom design is restrained in colour terms, for instance with the D-Neo bathroom range by Duravit, plants provide a perfect splash of colour. Plants such as ferns and philodendrons are especially well-suited to the humid climate in the bathroom. Pictured below – right.

Bathroom manufacturer Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks has added to its family of concealed cisterns, flush plates, and buttons with its new entry-level Conceala 3 range. 

Perfect for commercial and residential settings, the Conceala 3 in-wall cisterns join the existing ProSys® premium cisterns and frames offering and are available in top, side, and bottom water supply inlet variants. Conceala 3 can use both pneumatic and syphon lever flush activations, and there’s also a cable-operated model on offer, fitting seamlessly into bathroom furniture units. The variety of models gives installers and developers installation flexibility for projects of all kinds. Furthermore, the flat back design and lack of bottom lugs on the tank make installing it easier, saving time across projects.  

Conceala 3’s pneumatic models feature a new 2-inch water outlet improving flush performance, whilst an innovative ‘silencer tube’ and mesh filter on the inlet valve ensure a quieter filling process – ensuring the entire mechanism is truly out of sight and out of mind. 

To complete the look, a dedicated range of pneumatic buttons and flush plates are available in traditional chrome, stainless steel and sleek black finishes, enabling developers and contractors to coordinate a full suite of products easily. Conceala 3 also works with several of Ideal Standard’s existing ProSys® flush plates, which offer extended colour choices including the Solea plate in white, chrome, brushed chrome, and black, and the Septa Pro push button in white. 

With sustainability being such a huge focus for developers and specifiers, considerations have been built into Conceala 3’s dual-flushing models, which deliver a flush of 6/4 litres as standard. This can be further reduced to a minimum of 4/2.6 litres with a simple adjustment during installation. Single-flush models are also available. Delayed fill inlet valves are standard across all models, stopping water waste during the flushing process and further decreasing Conceala 3’s environmental impact.

Meanwhile, Ideal Standard’s ProSys® cisterns have SmartValve water-saving technology that cuts water usage by up to 63 litres a week in an average four-person household. 

Both Conceala 3 and ProSys® are ideal behind-the-wall solutions for commercial and residential projects where sustainability and water reduction are a priority. The ranges fully support building accreditation for BREEAM and are compliant with all UK water regulations.

The phrase “every Englishman’s home is his castle” rings true for interior designer Nicole Franken and her husband, architect Professor Bernhard Franken. Located in Offenbach am Main, Hesse, this 300-year-old castle has been transformed into 26 private apartments, with the couple’s residence standing out thanks to their design expertise.

Transforming history with modern design

Nicole and Bernhard Franken, who run the architectural firm Franken Generalplaner in Frankfurt, undertook a total renovation of one of these apartments to create what is now their own home. The renovation took four months to complete, and as part of this process, the couple merged two bathrooms into one within a stylish mirrored space. For this, they selected Unidrain’s iconic line drains for two shower enclosures, as well as exclusive products from the Reframe Collection, to complete the vision for their new, historic home.

Bathroom-Unidrain-Rupenheim-castle-Renovation

Rumpenheim Castle, originally built in the 17th century in the Baroque style, has a rich history as the summer residence of the Prince of Hesse-Homburg and a favoured destination for royal visitors, including Princess Mary of Teck. Despite the destruction it faced during World War II, the castle was rebuilt in 2002, retaining many of its historical architectural features, which inspired the Frankens’ renovation.

Nicole Franken talks about the underlying vision of the Unidrain solutions and how the couple have integrated them:

“We’ve been very intentional about respecting the castle’s history and combining the many historical styles has been so inspirational. Our bathroom has deep, green, 70s-inspired marble wall tiles that complement the original baroque style of the castle. We’ve installed Unidrain’s invisibly elegant line drain and Reframe accessories as an eye-catching minimalist contrast.”

The Frankens carefully selected elements that blend old and new, achieving a harmonious architectural balance. Their choice of Unidrain products was driven by their sleek, understated design, which seamlessly fits their vision.

Nicole emphasises, “We love Unidrain’s solutions because the line drain and the Reframe Collection each embody timeless, sleek, understated design. That’s what makes them so sophisticated. The drain is especially elegant, with its invisible technical solution. This is a prime example of less is more!”

Achieving architectural synergy

The minimalistic elements found throughout their apartment create a synergy of classic and modern styles, highlighting their architectural vision. Nicole concludes, “Minimalist elements throughout our apartment help create the perfect synergy of classic and modern. We’re delighted with the Unidrain solutions, as they accentuate our architectural vision perfectly.”

By blending the castle’s historic grandeur with modern design elements, Nicole and Bernhard Franken have created a unique and harmonious home, demonstrating the transformative power of thoughtful architectural design.
