Australian bathroom trends: April 2018 edition

Kohler Artifact three piece basin

It’s that time again when we bring you our latest fabulous bathroom finds. From Hollywood Regency style vanities to chic vintage inspired tapware, this month has been a great one for bathrooms.

Kohler Artifact collection: Inspired by Edwardian tapware, this new range by Kohler has smart vintage lines (detailed turnings and finials, elegant spouts and swing-lever handles) and is available in oil-rubbed bronze, vibrant brushed bronze and polished chrome finishes. From $199.

Stegbar Grange black shower screen: Testament to the staying power of black as a legitimate bathroom finish, Stegbar has released a new range of slim black shower screen frames. “Not just an on-trend hue, black is also timeless and ever-sophisticated,” says Stegbar marketing director Christine Evans. Oui oui!

Vanity by Design vanities:  Jen came across this company recently and we’re pretty taken with their vanities that are organised into three classic collections – Hamptons, Hollywood Regency and Contemporary. Made from solid timber and natural marble or granite bench tops, these are pre-fab with flair. From $1400.

apaiser SOKA bath and basin collection: Reminiscent of a Japanese bathhouse, I can’t think of a more minimal, linear, sharp-edged range. Both the bath and basin feature functional shallow trays too. $820 (basin) and $6195 (bath).

Scarabeo Bucket basin: This basin looks much like a bucket with the chrome ‘handle’ working as a nifty hand towel rail. Available in nine designs including one emblazoned with a paint drip, another with a basketball hoop and another with a fish, these certainly are conversation starters. From $950.

The newest and coolest bathroom wares: November edition

It was only last month that we brought you a list of the latest bathroom wares we were loving and already do we have so many more to add, including a pink bath! I know it sounds outrageous, but my oh my it is gorgeous. So we’ve decided to start a monthly wrap… introducing our November list.

Boyd Alternatives Rodney Bath: This show stopping concrete bath demands attention! Coming in a colour called millennial pink, it is chic and on trend. Designed with greater depth for full body immersion, the bath features clever detailing and a wider brim, to keep the water at optimal temperature. Costing a pretty penny, $7,800 to be exact, it is available from Candana.

Kohler Terrace Storage Column: Designed in France by the Jacob Delafon team, this unit showcases modernity in an utterly timeless fashion. Offering vertical storage, some of which is accessible without opening the door, the soft close door can be right opening or left opening. At $2,799, it has a lacquered finish cabinet, three natural oak shelves and a glass partition.

Beaumont Tiles Nordic Vanity: Raising the bar for minimalistic bathroom fit outs, the vanity is enveloped in premium exterior-grade birch wood. Both beautifully unique and practical, it resists abrasions and commonly used chemicals, as well as being weather and moisture proof. Coming in a range of sizes, it features a single bowl and push to open draws. The Nordic 1200 WH Vanity (pictured) retails for $2,100.

Stegbar Nanoclean Shower Screen: A shower screen that cuts cleaning time by up to 90 percent. Yes please! With a coating that bonds with glass and forms an invisible protective barrier, it is able to minimise dirt and grime build up. To keep clean, simply give it a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth once a week. Upgrading your shower screen to Nanoclean glass costs an additional $150-to-$250.

When I was watching The Block and saw the Jo-Hannah Long Brass Spout ($310) and Leo Brass and Timber Taps ($550) in Dean & Shay’s winning ensuite, I immediately went on a hunt to find them.

The flexible and dynamic ‘lamp-inspired’ shower head

Resembling a lamp with three movable joints, Closer is the most eclectic of Italian manufacturer Zucchetti’s recent creations.

tZ-UiC5H9W6PFUV6f4mHM7HKmgRK6f8rRu3DN9UwKIw

A wall-mounted shower head, it takes the normally static bathroom space and reinvents the movements we associate with showering. “The concept is simple,” explains designer Diego Grandi. “The name comes both from your movement towards the water and from the water that follows you.”

Wj5iJ4zQoovSrhmc2GEZuSycskY2SMG25eqNRBC2h5s

Designed to be adjusted and extended — simply and intuitively — the adjustable arm allows for many different spatial configurations, which in turn translates into an equally wide range of methods for the user to control and direct the jets of water.

Incorporating multiple world-class design features within its sleek aluminum shell, Closer has a total length of 805mm (including arms) and the shower head has a diameter of 95mm. A cylindrical counterweight also ensures the shower head is stable in any position or height.

Keeping in alignment with the needs of modern life, Closer combines an inspirational design concept with practical functionality, the result being a luxurious showering experience.
