To help you create your very own Great British Bathroom this winter, our in-house Stylist Nicky Kingston has picked out 15 of her favourite products.
Despite the short days and lack of sunshine, winter is a magical season, especially where your home is concerned. There really is nothing better than transforming your humble abode into one that’s cosy, and comforting. After all, we spend more time indoors during the winter months (and who could blame you?).
Whether you’re attempting a full renovation or simply looking to impress your festive guests, I’ve picked out 15 of the best bathroom products, including some brand new additions to our range, and arranged them into 3 different themes—each one perfect for winter.
Oh…and don’t forget to follow us on Instagram and Twitter, where our customers love to share their own beautiful bathrooms using the hashtag #VPShareYourStyle.
Rich Industrial
The industrial theme remains incredibly popular, especially when it comes to bathrooms. Dark surfaces, weathered materials and traditional detailing come together to create a look that simply works. Check out these 6 products below and start own industrial revolution!
1. The Bath Co. Dulwich black roll top freestanding bath with white claw feet 1695 x 740
Black baths have seen a surge in popularity, thanks in no small part to a growing trend in black accessories. The Dulwich roll top bath is perfect for your industrial style bathroom with its traditional design.
2. The Bath Co. Dalston floorstanding vanity unit and black marble basin 900mm
Dark or rustic wood finishes, like those used in this charming vanity unit, help to bring a homely, winter vibe to your décor, whilst the industrial handles add character.
3. The Heating Co. Dulwich black traditional radiator
As traditional heating goes, this radiator is exceptionally popular and will work seamlessly with the Dulwich roll top bath.
4. The Bath Co. Camberley concealed thermostatic mixer shower with wall arm
The first thing you’ll notice about this beautiful shower is the elegant shape, making it a real stand out feature. Combined with the subtle concealed valve, it certainly isn’t too overpowering.
5. Michigan anthracite grey stone effect matt wall and floor tile
Large format tiles are a popular choice for floors as they’ll open up your space. These specific tiles produce a more natural, organic look which works well with the rustic vanity unit.
6. Multipanel Heritage Marlow Linewood Hydrolock shower wall panel
A cost-effective alternative to tiling your walls, this charming shower wall panel from Multipanel adds texture. It’s also incredibly easy to keep clean.
Designer style in the depths of winter
A high end, designer look is the dream for many a homeowner. And with the bathroom, there’s no exception. The great thing is, you needn’t splash the cash to achieve it. I’ve picked out some gorgeous, on-trend products which won’t break the bank.
7. Navy Blue Herringbone acrylic shower wall panel
I absolutely adore this wall panel. First and foremost, the deep blue colour is completely on-trend, whilst the classic herringbone format adds a contemporary touch—perfect for brightening up those dreary winter months.
8. Mode Hale freestanding bath
If you’re looking for something that’s truly unique, you’ll love the Hale freestanding bath. With its subtle nod to industrial styling, it’ll make a highly contemporary, luxury addition to your bathroom.
9. Mode Hardy white floorstanding double vanity unit and basin
Double vanity units are particularly sought after and this one will certainly add a real designer touch to your bathroom, whilst adding valuable storage space. Why not add some under-cabinet lights for a whole new ambience?
10 and 11. Mode Spencer gold freestanding bath filler tap & Mode Spencer square gold basin mixer tap
The metal of the moment, gold taps are totally on-trend, adding a classic look to any designer bathroom. They work particularly well with deep colours, like the blue of the wall panels, softening the appearance of the bath and vanity unit.
12. Lucena Tia traditional matt wall and floor tile
Another top bathroom trend is the patterned floor, with geometric patterns proving extremely popular. The soft grey hues of this particular tile help strike a balance between subtlety and vibrancy.
Metallic extravagance
As we’ve already seen, metallics are one of the top bathroom trends as we head into 2020. When coupled with some extravagant designs, your “littlest room” suddenly looks rather grand.
13. Mode Hale grey-stone matte wall hung vanity unit with ceramic countertop and basin
The “new age” mid-century styling on this vanity unit is the perfect way to make a style statement, especially when it’s coupled with such an elegant countertop basin.
14. and 15. Cosmic copper effect lappato textured wall and floor tile 300mm x 600mm & 600mm x 600mm
Bold metallic tiles are coming into fashion in a big way. And when I say big, I mean format-wise too—with larger tiles measuring in at 600mm x 600mm proving popular. They’ll certainly add a touch of extravagance to your bathroom.
