Bathrooms are the other space that property owners pay a lot of their attention and budget. There are two reasons for this:
a.- Investment
A nice and well designed bathroom can help increase the potential value of a property.
b.- Self indulgence.
Nowadays going to the gym, clubs, etc is becoming an issue not just because sometimes they are expensive but because time is a real problem, thus bathrooms are changing from what use to be a basic function to a more sophisticated one. They are now closer to the concept and elements we usually associate to spas:
.- Bigger shower areas, more spacious. Glass is a great element for achieving this
.- Double basins which gives more comfort even in small bathrooms.
.- Walls, full tiled which gives a more clean and relaxing atmosphere.
.- Baths. There are few things as relaxing as being in your own bath, drinking a glass of wine meanwhile your concerns disappear as one of the bubbles you are submerge in.
.- Lighting. Again in order to achieve that feeling of comfort feature lights is a must and LEDs are the great answer.
.- Audio/video. Technology is allowing you to have your own screen and audio system when in your bathroom.
.- Storage: storage is a must... it must be practical, easy to use, easy to clean and available.
.- Colour and lines. In search of those mini paradises striking colours are not common. Contrast is allowed but using light or earth colours. Elegance and discretion seem to be the rule. Clear, crispy and sharp lines are much appreciated.
.- UFH. Not an expensive solution. It is probably the only element besides the bath where you can ‘feel’ the comfort on your skin.
Luxury and comfort are demanding their presence in contemporary bathrooms. Not the luxury of the opulent but that of elegance. Balance between materials and the quality of the space are important factors when designing and choosing materials: ceramic, stylish basins, detailing on taps and fittings and perfect glasses.
