The modern bathroom has evolved into a hub of innovation, integrating cutting-edge technologies that enhance both convenience and sustainability. Features such as smart showers with personalised temperature settings, illuminated smart mirrors with built-in displays, and no-touch or motion-sensor faucets not only offer a more hygienic experience but also help reduce water and energy consumption.
What are some of the most eco-friendly bathroom technologies available, such as water-saving showerheads or smart faucets?
“Eco-friendly bathroom technologies help reduce water and energy use while promoting sustainability. Popular options include water-saving showerheads that maintain pressure with less water, smart faucets with motion sensors to prevent waste, and low-flow toilets that use less water per flush. Greywater recycling systems reuse water from sinks and showers for flushing or irrigation, while energy-efficient ventilation fans with humidity sensors only run when necessary, cutting energy use.” – Shazeen Jooma, director of Classic Luxury Tiles & Bathrooms
What future bathroom tech trends can we expect to see in the next 5 to 10 years?
“In the next 5 to 10 years, we can expect bathrooms to be even smarter and more sustainable. Things like AI-powered showers, water-recycling systems, and self-cleaning toilets will make life easier while reducing waste. Personalised lighting, voice-activated mirrors, and aromatherapy showers will add a touch of luxury, and touchless, antibacterial surfaces will help keep things cleaner with less effort.” – Amadea Oberholzer, executive consultant & designer at Lifestyle Ceramics
How are LED lights transforming the ambiance and functionality of modern bathrooms?
“Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the tone and mood of a bathroom. JEE-O’s mirrors, with backlit LED technology, provide dimmable options that allow users to create the perfect ambiance – from bright, energising light for morning routines to a soft glow for evening relaxation. Colour-adjustable LED lighting can also mimic natural daylight, enhancing visibility and elevating the overall aesthetic of a space. DADOquartz now manufactures a bathtub with an integrated channel for LED strip lights, allowing homeowners to create a truly unique and immersive bathing experience.” – Nico van der Merwe, CEO of DADOcreations
How does the integration of technology in bathrooms affect the overall value of a home?
“Integrating smart bathroom technology – such as heated floors, thermostatic showers, and smart mirrors – enhances convenience, improves energy efficiency, and adds a touch of luxury. These upgrades not only elevate daily living but also increase a home’s value by appealing to modern buyers.” – Amadea Oberholzer, executive consultant & designer at Lifestyle Ceramics
