Essential Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Magazine - July 2017

In dieser Ausgabe

Welcome to the July issue Some time ago we all fell in love with the idea of a freestanding tub setting off your perfect scheme, but who knew just how far we’d go with the idea of modular furniture becoming such a design statement? The roll top bath and standalone dressing table and basin unit have now become the centrepiece in so many luxurious hotel bathrooms. Now that this look is more achievable domestically it appears it’s something we all want to do, no matter how bijou our spaces. Jonathan Carter, at Victoria + Albert Baths, says: ‘We’ve noticed that travel guides are even mentioning bathroom brands by name, and freestanding furniture in particular.’ Whether it’s baths, taps, storage, basins or even showers, it seems hotel-inspired design is gaining more traction every year. Turn to page 111 and Make a Splash to research getting the look in your bathroom, and in Yin & Yang (page 122) to see how one couple renovated their farmhouse with mid-century furniture in their en suites to achieve a beautifully lived-in hotel-like design. The trend towards the modular is definitely not just confined to the bathroom or kitchen though. In our Design Edit of new bedroom decorating ideas, assistant editor Emma Foale explores, among other things, the new penchant for dressing tables, glass wardrobes and even sideboards and other vintage vibes – turn to page 138 for more.
