Australian bathroom trends: March 2018 edition

Candana sink

While it only seems like yesterday that we brought you our monthly bathroom wrap, it’s time to share our latest wet area finds yet again. From a rustic basin to a high-tech toilet, there’s plenty of fabulous new bathroom finds.

IB Rubinetterie Kelly Hoppen Zero 3 wall spout square: Featuring the celebrated American designer’s signature clean lines, this timeless chrome mixer that would complement just about any bathroom. The range features basin and shower fittings too. $990.

Merwe Arroyo Basin: A fabulous rustic basin alternative, this beauty has been pre-patinated to give it a weathered, one of a kind finish. The patina (or tarnish) process can take decades so this is perfect for those that cannot wait. As a bonus, the patina gets better with age. $2499.

Roca In-Wash Inspira smart toilet: For a technical product, this toilet looks very slick. You may have come across toilets like these in Japan (think all sorts of whizz bangery that you didn’t know you needed) and now you can get one for yourself at the relatively affordable price of $3500. My favourite feature is the in-built night light.

Beaumont Tiles Vulcanic Ash tile: It’s the large format (747mm x 747mm) and industrial aesthetic that impressed us with this rectified porcelain tile. Ideal for a large bathroom the finish is inspired by volcanic rust and rock.

Goccia basin mixer with spout: Inspired by the fluid shapes of water (the spout looks like a water droplet), this matte black mixer has gorgeous slim lines.

Black tapware leader, Meir, launches stunning new metallics

Sponsored by Meir Australia

Not satisfied with having the largest range of black tapware in the world, thriving Australian business Meir has branched into mixed metals. And they’re gorgeous! I’m earmarking them for my future bathroom renos right now!

Tiger Bronze

Those in the know will confirm that the trend for black taps is most definitely here to stay but other colours (basically, anything but been-there-done-that chrome) are emerging as future classics too. And this was clear at all the big international design trade fairs this year.

The Melbourne family business have spent the last 12 months behind the scenes working on the new additions to their premium matte black tapware. Tiger Bronze and Champagne are the first of four upcoming colour finishes to be released in as many months and here at Interiors Addict, we are in love! Tiger Bronze is a unique combination of bronze and copper and Champagne is a beautiful cool gold. 

Bath, shower and kitchen mixers, shower heads, toilet roll holders, towel rails, wall and basin mixers are all available.

Champagne

Today’s bathrooms are so much more than utilitarian spaces; they’re sanctuaries. And consumers are keener than ever to add a little luxury and personality to this space. We think tapware is the jewellery of the modern bathroom. And even if you’re reluctant to be too ‘out there’ with your bathroom choices, statement tapware on a simple and classic subway tile backdrop for example, can make a huge impact.

Equally, in kitchens, that mixer tap can be the crowning glory.

“We’ve been working with leading Australian architects to create a range that’s the very essence of luxury tapware. This product also fulfils consumer demand on modern colour trends,” says CEO Rick Bazerghi. “By limiting the Tiger Bronze selection to a small portion of our overall range of products, it offers customers an exclusive and bespoke product.”

Tiger Bronze

Handcrafted and made with European parts, this premium range is priced higher than its traditional chrome or matte black counterparts. It’s available to the general public through any of the company’s stockists (including Reece and Harvey Norman Commercial) or online at The Block Shop.

Meir is showcasing Australia as a leader in bathroom trends, expanding internationally this year with a London office and distributors in Amsterdam, Cape Town and Auckland. They have plans to open up offices and distribution in Dubai, Singapore, Denmark and Japan.

Tiger Bronze

Customers benefit from a no-questions-asked returns policy and excellent customer service, with a receptionist available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Kohler release award-winning Avid tapware

Kohler’s new tapware design has scored an international Red Dot Design Award, delivering luxurious simplicity to the everyday bathroom.

 

Reminiscent of liquid metal, its fluid form rises from the benchtop and is stretched to a slender, tapered spout. The lever control is an extension of the body of the tap – no harsh edges, sharp angles or unnecessary embellishment.

The collection includes Standard, Tall and Super Tall basin mixers as well as a three-piece widespread model, a wall mount basin mixer and shower mixers. The Avid range features a 5-star WELS rating, using just six litres of water per minute, and is finished in a corrosion and tarnish-resistant polished chrome.
