Freestanding TubsNot just for large spaces, these tubs forego the noise of traditional jetted tubs in favour of a deep, quiet soak. The tubs come in a wide range of materials and finishes, such as cast-iron, acrylic, cast marble, and copper. Looking for something a little bolder? This is the year to give your bathroom a daring upgrade. This means not being afraid to add a little colour to your décor where you might not have expected it before, like in the bathtub.Statement FixturesCoupling that bath with a contemporary, traditional or modern shaped tub-filler or faucet will really enhance its beauty. An elegant contoured style makes the perfect choice for both modern and more traditional décors. If a coloured tub is too bold, try choosing a copper- or brass-finished fixture to add something a little unexpected.Impactful FaucetsMake a simple upgrade to that new sink by adding a contemporary and convenient focal point to the kitchen. Continuing the stainless steel trend, and taking cues from commercial kitchens, high-arched pull-down faucets add another element of style.Gourmet Kitchen Upgrades Upgrading your most-used kitchen fixture is often a tricky endeavour. A well-designed kitchen allows for easier meal preparations, as well as ease of mobility. Borrowing elements from industrial and restaurant trends, deep-welled stainless steel sinks are high fashion-meets-heavy duty. This easy-to-clean addition can also be accessorized to create a more functional space.Found these trend picks useful? Come visit our showroom.
