Ulster Tatler – August 2019

S

mart technology is increasingly

becoming a major component

of everyday living at home, and

the bathroom is no exception to this.

Current trends are pointed towards

elevating and building character in

bathrooms, whether it is through

adding digital technology to showers,

or installing self-cleaning toilets. Mirrors

with built-in LED lighting and motion

detecting faucets are also gaining

popularity on the market.

Smart technology systems now

allow for customised showers and

baths, for example, temperature-

controlled showers mean that your

showering experience is more reliable,

safe and less time-consuming. As well

as this, having Bluetooth technology

integrated into shower heads means

that you can sing along to your

favourite songs without much noise

pollution.

Baths are becoming smarter

and more functional too, with the

introduction of shower hoses that can

be tucked away into the rim of the

bath tub when they are not needed

• this reduces clutter and makes the
  bathroom a more attractive space.
  Toilets are known for having
  one main function, yet the addition
  of smart, innovative features are
  increasing its functionality, particularly
  for those with mobility issues.
  Japanese-style toilets are becoming
  increasingly popular in the UK, with
  hygiene mechanisms and motion
  sensor flushes being only a few of
  their ingenious features. Rimless
  toilets are also making their mark, as
  their smoother shape benefits from a
  more effective cleaning process when
  flushed, as well as dispelling any build-
  up of bacteria which usually finds its
  home under the rim.

In this feature, we take a look at

how you can elevate your bathroom

beyond its simple functionality and

turn it into a more modern space. The

arrival of summer brings new trends

to the industry, and now is the perfect

time to create an inviting and attractive

space within your home.

THIS MONTH ULSTER TATLER TAKES A CLOSER LOOK AT BATHROOMS,

SHOWCASING ALL THE LATEST CONTEMPORARY AND MODERN STYLES AND TILES TO GIVE
