  1. FIXTURES AND FURNISHINGS


“It’s important to keep a similar look to all of the fittings in the
bathroom, but you should be able to customise them to fit your unique
style and taste,” says Timothy who has created a collection for THG
Paris that can be totally customised according to personal taste. Ed
agrees that keeping things consistent is key. “Bathrooms are relatively
small spaces and fittings and fixtures are very prominent, so mixing
different styles is hardly ever an option.”
Whatever the size of the space, storage is always essential.
Clutter never says comfort and calm, as a bathroom should, so see how
you can cleverly incorporate additional cupboards or, as Ed suggests,
make use of ceiling space.
A desire to be sustainable is also having increasing influence on
the choice of fixtures and furnishings. “We are seeing fewer requests
for rain shower heads and multiple body sprays,” says Timothy,
attributing the change to a greater consciousness of water usage.
Along with this trend is an increased interest in technology with
smart toilets in particular growing in popularity. “Technology must
pamper and enhance both comfort and the bathroom experience,”
Ed says. The smart mirror is certainly one tech addition he can get on
board with. “I expect to see mirrors with features such as augmented
reality and an Internet connection.”
For Denise, a smart mirror is already an integral part of her
bathroom setup. “I start the day with an awakening shower with
waterfall and pulsating massage while catching up on global news
through the media function of my illuminated mirror cabinet,” she
says of her bathroom that is “a multi-purpose area of my home.” Ed
adds, “I like to listen to music when I take a bath.” Couple all that with
the most basic essentials, such as candles and scents, for an all-round
pampering.


為THG Paris創作訂造系列的Timothy說:「浴室設備應風格如
一,符合個人品味。」Ed同意風格一致屬關鍵。「浴室是個相對較小
的空間,任何元素也非常顯眼,混合不同風格從不是一個好選擇。」
不論浴室空間大小,儲物必不可少。浴室是個舒適平靜的地方,
不應雜亂無章。你需要巧妙地加設櫥櫃,或如Ed建議善用天花板位
置。Timothy說:「不論家中貯物空間有多少,我們總可利用浴室貯
物。」他強烈推薦閉合式化妝櫃,實用又簡潔。
人們無不想過可持續生活,影響著對浴室設備和配件的選
擇。Timothy指:「客人愈來愈少會要求加裝頂噴花灑和多角度沖身
花灑。」他認為這種改變源於人們現更注重節約用水。
「人們對科技的興趣日濃,智慧型座廁更風行全球。」話雖如
此,Ed指出如你不懂使用這些功能,根本不需要一個具備過百種功能
的座廁。「科技必須令你的浴室體驗更舒適才對。」
智能鏡子必定是他的浴室科技產品之一。Ed說:「我預計愈來
愈多人使用配備擴增實境和上網功能的鏡子。」
對Denise而言,智能鏡子早已成浴室設備。她說:「我的每天始
於一面舒暢地淋浴和享受瀑布及脈衝式按摩,一面透過照明鏡櫃的媒
體功能收看環球新聞。」如時間更充裕,她便會在堪稱「家居多用途
區」的浴室聽音樂、看電影、看書和打遊戲機。Ed亦非常重視音響系
統的質素:「我喜歡在沐浴時聽音樂。」參考以上專家意見,再添置
如蠟燭和香薰等基本物品,你便可在私密空間盡情享受。
