Bathrooms have become oases within the home, providing sanctuary and relaxation for the whole family. They are no longer the domain of clinical white tiles and functional forms. To create a cocoon of calm, the experts recommend introducing warm tones, “fluffy” textures and even aromatic oils into the bathroom. “Consider all your senses,” says the team from Franke.
METAL MAGIC
A simple switch from brass or chrome to matt black can add warmth to a contemporary bathroom, says Franke. “Unlike the polished finish of cool chrome, the richness of matt black feels warm and adds to an at-home spa experience.”
The matt finish is also versatile; a perfect complement to virtually any design style. Franke’s range of matt black Aspera mixers is available in all black, as well as with contrast rim details in chrome and rose gold.
For an ultra-luxurious bathroom experience, indulge in heated towel rails. “Apart from ensuring a constant supply of warm and hygienically dry towels, heated towel rails help save water and electricity because towels need to be washed less frequently,” says Mark Bennett, sales and marketing director at Jeeves.
