Bathrooms designers come out of downturn to meet growing consumer demands

 Already 2010 has been an interesting year for bathroom design and as you start to think, ‘surely it’s all been done’, the market pleasantly surprises you. Consumers continue to demand the highest levels of sophistication at competitive price points, ensuring a healthy challenge for bathroom manufacturers nationwide.

While we didn’t dwell on the so called ‘credit crunch’, it seems the bleak times caused by the inevitable economic downturn are slowly but surely turning into exciting opportunities. The KBB show in March proved that product development is on the up, companies are investing heavily in their futures and homeowners in the UK can look forward to more choice than ever before.

Current trends focus on the need to emulate lavish hotel and spa experiences within the comfort of ones home. Continental style wet rooms are proving to be very popular and as the benefits of such a spacious, invigorating showering experience are noted, some homeowners are getting rid of the bath altogether to make space for a luxury wet room.

Open-plan is a concept that is yet to pass and with more and more requests for combined living, bathing areas, bathroom manufacturers are forced to provide, sleek, versatile products that will effortlessly fuse the two areas together. Frameless shower screens are the perfect example of how this unique look can be achieved.

Space-saving is still an important issue. As new builds shrink in size and consumers look to create open, airy environments in which to relax and unwind in, sanitaryware, furniture, enclosures and screens must accommodate without compromising on style.
