Bathrooms and back to basics?

Since the 1960s, coloured bathroom suites have gone completely out of fashion. On programmes like Homes Under the Hammer, we are led to believe by Lucy Alexander and Martin Roberts that no bathroom suite is preferable to a coloured bathroom suite, the ultimate abomination being the avocado suite. Although brave individuals have attempted to encourage a comeback and revitalise interest in the coloured bathroom suite, most bathroom designers have returned to the white suite and fashions revolve very much around anything white and ceramic.

However, there have been some interesting diversions away from the plain white suite, particularly in basins. Roper Rhodes, for example, create the ultimate in contemporary design where basins can be small, recessed, pedestal, semi pedestal, retro, distinctly modern, and made out of a variety of materials such as stone, glass and composites in a variety of subdued tones. These small bowls can even be attached to antique commodes to create a feeling of authenticity in older houses.

Although the basin will often provide us with the pleasantly unpredictable, it is the bath that will take centre stage and becomes the feature of the room. Rather than having a matching three piece suite, why not have a beautiful glowing copper, elaborate cast iron or burnished tin bath to create a real bespoke designer focus. Whether antique or reproduction, these wonderful baths represent a return to a grander age when servants were employed to fill our baths and keep us warm and the bath was informally placed within the bedroom and not within the clinical confines of the bathroom  Boundary Bathrooms can assist you with your specific choices.
