Tradelink’s new taps are jewellery for your bathroom

Reflecting the the trend toward matte and metallic for bathroom finishings, Tradelink have released a range of tapware and accessories that match this. Available from this month, the Dorf Epic Bloc and Dorf Epic Splice bathroom mixers blend urbane glamour with sophistication.

NO FLOWERS FRONT FOCUSED

The tap is a sleek square shape with a black matte finish. Perfectly complementing it is the Bloc, a classy cubic handle. It is available in matte black, gold, rose gold (above) or copper. Tradelink are right in saying they’re “jewellery for the bathroom!”

You can change them as easily as you would jewellery too. Such an easy way to freshen up the bathroom.

Epic Splice - white - lifestyle

There’s also the option for a more traditional tap, as seen above, with the Splice. Available in white and black chrome they, like the Bloc, they are swappable, with both colours creating stylish yet understated looks.

In terms of practicalities, both taps have a 5-star WELS rating (6 litres per minute) and include an adjustable cartridge for added temperature and flow control. Their European SoftPEX hoses mean they’ll last the long haul, too.

They look best when paired with matching accessories, available from Tradelink. The Caroma Urbane collection includes towel rings and robe hooks in solid brass with a matte black finish.

The Bloc is priced at $579, the Splice $550, the towel ring $89 and the robe hook $42. For further information

New minimal bathroomware from Raymor

The old adage ‘less is more’ certainly comes to mind with Raymor’s fresh new range of bathroom wares that combine clean, modern lines with subtle curves and smart design solutions for compact bathing spaces.

Raymor Timber Hero-Green

And it was this simple, unfettered design that inspired an organic themed bathroom with timber-look tiles and a large, living green wall as its eye-catching feature.

The timber tiles and green feature wall called for simple bathroom fixtures and fittings so as not to overwhelm the space – exactly where Raymor’s new range fits in.

Raymor Wentworth Wall Hung Vanity TThe wall hung Wentworth vanity features a crisp white ceramic top and gloss white polyurethane cabinetry. Minimal bevel grip finger pulls and soft close drawers complete the look and make it just as beautiful to use. And while it looks compact in size, the Jamaica bath has added depth for full body immersion – an indulgent design feature.

Tanami Bath Set 160mm

The Tanami collection of tap ware features gentle curves and is aptly named as it invokes the simplicity of Japanese design.

But when it comes to a fabulous design solution for a compact space, the Byron wall faced toilet suite really comes up trumps. The concealed cistern makes it the perfect choice for a tiny powder room or small bathroom.

Create space in your bathroom with white finishes and chrome fittings

For bathroom renovators, the challenge of sticking to budget whilst achieving the dream interior, can be a real struggle! However, with just a little savvy styling, along with some clever choices in fittings and finishes, your vision can well and truly be realised.

Raymor delivers many smart solutions for bathroom upgrades, including the winning combination (below) of timeless white finishes with sleek chrome fittings and textural warmth.

Raymor Young Couple Bathroom-6

The perception of space has been maximised by using white tiles, continued across the front of the bath, and sleek white vanity. This has then been softened with the clever use of texture on the tiles and a beautifully distressed timber tile on the floor. Then by introducing a key-line of aqua penny-rounds the space has been given character and a colour cue for accessories and towels.

Raymor Young Couple Bathroom-4

Essential to the look is the smart choice of tapware and accessories. Moora is a streamlined take on the three-piece basin set with gooseneck spout, geometric handles and a bright chrome finish. The same style of tapware is used for both the bath and the shower – the latter finished with a ceiling mounted Menzies disc shower rose.

Raymor Young Couple Bathroom-7

The Salt vanity is a deliberately understated look so as to provide maximum storage capacity while not cluttering the visual space of the room. Feature rich, it is a 900mm wide floor standing model, all white with integrated basin and three drawers and a cupboard with soft close drawers and door.

Raymor Young Couple Bathroom-8

The Jamaica drop-in bath may look compact but its generous dimensions allow complete body submersion. It is deeper than many baths and has moulded reclining lumbar support.

All accessories are from the Raymor Tanami collection that includes double and single towel rails, robe hooks, toothbrush holders and soap dishes and dispensers – plus toilet brushes and toilet roll holder. Each piece is solid brass construction with bright chrome finish.

All Raymor bathroom fittings are available exclusively from Tradelink Plumbing Centres and Northern’s Plumbing Supplies nationally. Visit Tradelink or Raymor for more details.

Monochrome and contemporary bathroom products from Raymor

You really can’t beat the timeless yet dramatic classic that is black and white; and the latest range of products from Raymor fit perfectly into this contemporary style.

Raymor Platform Aruba-O (1)

With the Aruba freestanding Curve Bath taking centre stage, it makes a statement while never being domineering, thanks to its perfectly proportioned curves. The Sturt bath filler, with hand shower, creates a self-contained ablutions area within the bath thanks to its dual function.

Raymor PLATFORM BW DEATIL 1

The Salt vanity has a deliberately understated look so as not to detract from the striking colour palette and hero bath. Feature rich, it is a 900mm wide floor standing model, all white with integrated basin and three drawers and a cupboard with soft close drawers and door. So while sleek and low-key it also provides ample storage to ensure no unnecessary bathroom clutter.

Raymor PLATFORM BW 03

Reinforcing the efficiency of this bathroom is the multifunctional Winton Dual Shower Column featuring 220mm square overhead shower plus a hand-held shower on a hose and integrated soap dish.

All the accessories in the bathroom are from the Ceduna collection – towel rails, robe hooks, toothbrush holder, soap dish and toilet tissue holder all mirror the soft curves of the key bathroom fixtures. Each piece is of brass construction with bright chrome finish.

These Raymor products are available from May exclusively at Tradelink Plumbing Centres and Northern’s Plumbing Supplies nationally. For more information.

Is matte black the new “it” tap?

A trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, black interior wares can be used to create a real impact, especially in the bathroom.

Phoenix Rush Basin Mixer matte Black-LS interiors addict

Smart, sophisticated and always stylish, Tradelink have responded to this trend by introducing the Phoenix collection of quality basin and shower tapware plus matching accessories, all in beautiful matte black.

tradelink interiors addict

The obvious and perfect partner for monochromatic and all-white bathrooms, black can also be used to create bold decoration and a deep sense of luxe when paired with metallics such as silver, copper or bronze or with stones and textured neutrals. It also looks striking in a contemporary setting as well as a more traditional bathroom (teamed with a black claw foot bath for example).

interiors addict tradelink

The collection of shower, basin and bath tapware comprises of the Vivid Slimline wall mount bath set, bath outlet and shower mixer – each with a beautifully slender, elegant profile, which are complemented by a six star WELS rated basin mixer (just 4.5 litres of water a minute). For those preferring a more cubist approach there’s also the Rush wall top assemblies and the minimalist wall mount shower mixer.

Accessories are also prevalent, with towel rails (single and double), soap dishes, shelves, toilet roll holders and robe hooks – all with similar profiles that complement the tapware.

Glass is reflecting the current look in bathroom styling (pardon the pun). Think large mirrors, glass basins and statement jars and containers. 

Lavinia-LS-2_1

Key to the look is marrying the timeless natural beauty of decorative elements in stone, timber and woven natural fibres with the clean, contemporary finishes of translucent glass, ceramic tiles, polished chrome and vitreous china.
