What are the current trends in sanitaryware for main en suite bathrooms, and how do these trends influence the overall design of the space?
“Current trends in sanitaryware for main en-suite bathrooms focus on luxury, functionality, and modern design. Freestanding bathtubs with organic shapes and slim edges serve as elegant focal points, while wall-hung vanities and toilets offer a sleek, space-saving look and ease of cleaning. Black and matte finishes create a bold, contemporary contrast, and integrated smart features, like motion-activated flush systems and temperature-regulating bidets, enhance both convenience and hygiene. These trends combine to create a minimalist, uncluttered aesthetic with a sense of space and seamless functionality.” – Shazeen Jooma, head of marketing at Classic Luxury Tiles & Bathrooms
What are the latest innovations in taps and shower systems that enhance both functionality and aesthetics?
“The latest innovations in taps and shower systems focus on enhancing both functionality and aesthetics while promoting sustainability. Eco-friendly designs, such as aerated taps and low-flow showerheads, reduce water consumption without sacrificing performance, exemplified by Hansgrohe’s EcoSmart range. Touchless faucets, like electronic mixers and self-close models, offer added convenience and hygiene by using motion sensors to start and stop water flow, reducing the spread of germs and conserving water. Additionally, thermostatic mixers with energy-saving features, like CoolStart, ensure a constant water temperature, providing safety and comfort, especially for children and the elderly.” – Gugu Khumalo, assistant brand manager at hansgrohe
How can homeowners choose the right design style for their main en suite bathroom to reflect their personal taste while keeping up with modern trends?
“Homeowners should start with a neutral base and then layer in elements that reflect their style—such as trendy finishes or fixtures to keep the space current while personal touches like unique mirrors or statement lighting can add individuality.” – Charlene Warwick, marketing manager at Bella Bathrooms & Tiles
What are the most effective layout considerations for optimising space and functionality in a main en suite bathroom? How can one balance practical needs with a stylish design?
“Optimising space and functionality in a main en-suite bathroom requires careful layout considerations. Utilising corner sinks, floating vanities, and wall-mounted toilets can maximize space. Creating separate zones for the vanity, shower, and toilet areas enhances privacy and efficiency. Incorporating ample natural light through windows or skylights can create a bright, inviting atmosphere. Finally, planning for adequate storage with built-in cabinets, drawers, and niches helps keep the space organised and clutter-free.” – Amadea Oberholzer, executive consultant and designer at Lifestyle Ceramics
