No longer a space defined purely by practicality, the bathroom has not only become the place to make a statement, but has also moved beyond the confines of its four walls into the bedroom and beyond…

While often the smallest space in a scheme, it can also be the most demanding, but the right combination of design elements can create a relaxing, beautiful, and efficient space. Below are a few of these elements that could transform any bathroom space into a stylish retreat.

Tapping into the Japandi trend and creating a restful bathroom environment, Nara is a beautiful new range from BAGNODESIGN. Taking its inspiration from the interior design style that fuses Japanese and Scandinavian minimalist design, Nara is a complete bathroom collection with tranquillity at its core.

Influenced by the ancient city of Nara, Japan – where Edo architecture, enchanting temples and immaculate gardens merge tradition, nature, and spirituality – the range epitomises bathroom design at its most elegant and serene. Japanese simplicity and appreciation for nature pairs with Scandinavian practicality, beauty and comfort for a relaxing and beautiful scheme.

The AXOR Starck Nature Shower brings the iconic design of the AXOR Starck shower column to the outdoors for a luxurious showering experience. Equipped with a hot water connection, PowderRain spray technology for the overhead shower, and an optional hand-held shower, the all-in-one shower column celebrates the luxury of open-air showering and supports the seamless transition between indoors and outdoors. With an extremely slim shower bar, it blends elegantly into a variety of settings including gardens, urban terraces, and even private yachts. This spatial reinterpretation underscores the brand’s elemental connection to nature through water.

Taizu from House of Rohl

Taizu is the result of a Victoria + Albert collaboration with renowned Hong Kong based designer Steve Leung, who is known for using Asian influences in his designs. In this case, the opulent circular bath has been inspired by the fine porcelain designs of the Song Dynasty. The gently sloping sides are softened by a chamfered edge and sculpted detail at the base. With a diameter of 1500mm, Taizu is a spa-style centrepiece that is at home in the most luxurious bathrooms.

Earlier this year the bath took centre stage in the House of Rohl WOW!house installation. The bathroom, designed by the Michaelis Boyd studio, placed a theatrical emphasis on the bath as the star of the show. The statement Taizu bath was in a custom olive green matte finish; a one-of-a-kind piece for WOW!house.
