Vessel-style basins can be the hero of the

bathroom in their own right. Industrial sinks

are an emerging bathroom trend as are

coloured concrete styles (pictured left).

Black fixtures are still the popular choice, but brushed gold looks set to be the next big thing in hardware.

“While black is continuing its dominance for taps, frontrunners over the coming year include soft golds and

brushed brass, as well as the more unexpected gunmetal,” says Mico Bathrooms. An emerging trend is for

industrial styles with exposed pipes – part of a movement towards pared-back simplicity.
