Decorex Durban awash with the latest in bathroom trends:
As bathrooms gain more prominence within the home, designers and suppliers are becoming more innovative in their approach to décor and furnishings. Maintaining its position as Africa’s leading décor, design and lifestyle exhibition, Decorex SA will be showcasing the latest in bathroom trends in its dynamic installation, The Bathroom Project.
“The past few years, we’ve really seen some significant changes in bathroom style and design,” said Sian Cullingworth, Portfolio Director at Reed Exhibitions. “From a utilitarian room that bore no real design consequence, the bathroom has evolved into a really integral space within the home, drawing a lot of attention to elements such as furniture, colours and spatial perception. We’re seeing a lot of intelligent design trends coming through which visitors to Decorex Durban will get to witness first-hand.”
Bathroom trends taking over 2019
Some of the region’s bathroom specialists, Shower Haus and Cas Tiles, have shared their unique insights into the latest bathroom trends emerging countrywide.
– Frameless
With space at a premium, many are turning to smaller bathrooms that incorporate design techniques to enhance the perception of ample space. There is also a preference of front bathroom ‘walls’ to be finished with frameless glass, thereby incorporating the bathroom into the bedroom itself.
– Walk-in Showers
The frameless trend continues into showers where the black hardware – as opposed to the traditional chromed finish – is gaining traction. There is also a move towards walk-in showers comprising a single, frameless screen.
– Internal Glass Doors
Within the bathroom, glass doors are trending over the traditional wooden doors. These can be clear or sandblasted for a more discreet effect.
– Large Mirrors
Another fantastic space-enhancing technique is the incorporation of large mirrors within the bathroom.
– Mosaic Tiles
Created from glass, mosaic tiles – in a range of colours – are becoming a popular aesthetic. Because of the nature of the tiles, they’re hygienic, non-porous and resistant to stain and mildew, making them a particularly attractive option.
– Wooden Tiles
Another local décor trend that is following on from European trends is the use of wooden tiles in the bathroom. The flexibility of aesthetic and durable nature is seeing them incorporated more and more.
The Bathroom Project
Shower Haus and Cas Tiles will be joined by fellow industry members at The Bathroom Project, featuring at Decorex Durban. This installation will see a display of on-trend bathroom products and fittings in a variety of stylised bathroom settings. Visitors can expect to see some exciting new products on the market, such as relaxed seating and soothing décor solutions suited to the luxurious bathroom space.
