Tactile finishes
Slatted furniture, reeded bath panels or baths and basins that have been cast with fluted detailing add a tactile nature to the bathroom and, again, encourage a step away from the typical, more minimalist looks we’re traditionally used to seeing for this space. “Whether it’s through a vanity unit, wall panelling, vertically stacked tiles or details on the fittings themselves, texture is a key look to continue into 2024,” says Hayley Robson, Founder of kitchen and bathroom designers Day True.
Tapping into the trend, the internationally acclaimed designer Patricia Urquiola reveals the third generation of Laufen’s SaphirKeramik, taking the material into a new dimension with the Sonar collection featuring delicately grooved basins and a bath, while Scudo has introduced the Labyrinth back-to-wall and freestanding baths with a fluted exterior. For furniture, VitrA’s Root Groove offers a contemporary bathroom design with matt colour options and stylish door detail, while tiles from Verona’s Waldorf and Laurent ranges and Ca’Pietra’s Petite porcelain designs that are ideal for vertical stacking all fit the brief.
