Available locally at Artedomus, there’s three new styles; the super original and organic inspired ‘DR’ (designed by Marcio Kogan), the beautifully curved and compact ‘Cuna’ and the unusual ‘Lariana.’

Highgrove Bathrooms matte white freestanding baths: This new lightweight acrylic bath collection features three designs, all finished with an on-trend, matte white finish.

Furthermore, acrylic provides excellent thermal insulation properties for increased heat retention, so you can sit back and relax for longer. The baths are available in 1500mm or 1700mm lengths and start from $1450.

Super luxe: The latest designer bathroom wares

From an ultra sleek mixer designed by interior designer Kelly Hoppen to copper and black tapware and even a crystal basin, bathrooms have never looked so luxurious. It’s also never been easier to create a custom, bespoke vibe – one of the biggest design trends of late.

Ex.t Stand bathtub: While inspired by the cast iron baths of the 1920’s and 1930’s, the Stand bathtub is a much more modern alternative. Available locally from Meizai, you can choose from black or white metal feet and there’s a matching basin too. $3,057.

iB Rubinetterie’s fabulous MARMO marble bathroom collection

A hit at Milan’s recent Salone Internazionale del Bagno, the MARMO collection by celebrated Italian design house iB Rubinetterie combines marble with chrome, white, black, gold, brushed nickel and rose gold to produce a super chic range of bathroom accessories that have modern classic written all over them.

MR202 black

Basin mixer

With 72 products in the series ranging from basin and shower mixers to bathroom accessories, the geometric shapes are softened by the marble which is unique to every piece – the different veins ensure no two pieces are the same. Available in white Carrara and black Marquina, we love the soap dishes in particular and their smooth, masculine lines.

Designed by Antonio Gardoni and Federico Castelli, the range is proudly Italian made. “We love our country, we love its ancient and industrial history, we are the result of all this. We respect our origins and we cannot imagine manufacturing outside Italy. The history of our country, the culture of design that we luckly live and breathe every day dictates our standards and marks our steps,” says Antonio.

MARMO 399 nero - 8 copy

The free standing, floor mounted bath mixer is very cool too and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before.
