Future-forward BATHROOMS

The bathroom of the future comprises tech that elevates mundane activities to luxury experiences with consideration for the environment, safety and convenience. From self-cleaning toilets and voice-activated showers to smart mirrors and eco-friendly faucets, our experts advise on the latest products.

EXCITING TRENDS AND INNOVATIONS

In recent years, innovations have impacted every aspect of bathroom design, build and experience, says Deon Katzen, CEO of Bella Bathrooms & Tiles. “Smart lighting systems offer enhanced ambience and can be tailored to suit different activities, while smarter water management and filtration systems help conserve water and reduce energy bills. Touchless taps and motion-activated faucets also reduce touch surfaces, helping to keep surfaces cleaner and more hygienic. Other popular innovations include integrated speakers and spa-inspired features such as chromotherapy, aromatherapy and massage showers.”

Raylene Arundell, marketing manager at On Tap Plumbing and Bathrooms, says her favourite bathroom innovation is the smart toilet. “These toilets often feature heated seats, automatic lids, self-cleaning functions and built-in bidets with adjustable water temperature and pressure.” The smart toilet can also provide feedback about your overall health by analysing the contents so that you can make the necessary lifestyle changes to remain healthy.

GOOD TO KNOW! “Consider whether the high-tech bathroom features are compatible with your lifestyle. For example, a voice-activated shower might not be necessary if you prefer a quick and simple shower experience.” – Raylene Arundell
