The Evolution of the Modern Bathroom
Posted By Houston Decorator on June 26, 2010
Whether we like to admit it or not, bathroom design is changing. It is evolving much like a traditional market evolves. Within the last 5 years we have seen the adoption of motion sensors faucets in bathroom around the country as well as in ones personal home. We have also seen the advent of remote controlled temperature changing showers, windows that can fog and unfog with the touch of a button, and bathroom vanities that have the sink and faucet completely built in. These changes are welcomed as they help to push the envelope of what we can expect from a bathroom, as well as help us stay more germ free and healthy. While many companies are making these changes I am going to focus on talking about five companies you may not have heard of.
- Belle Foret – Belle Foret is a company that is not making all of the tech changes, they are simply creating a unique product that changes the look and feel of the modern bathroom. Inspired by the French country side, their designs look both modern and antique. They blend style with both a price and beauty that is unmatched. No matter how you feel about their style I guarantee you will not see another product like it.
- Elizabethan Classics – Like Belle Foret, Elizabethan Classics focuses on the same thing, bringing a modern style to the antique look. Their focus is on bathtubs and clawfoot tubs with unique bathroom faucets that have two taps, for cold and hot water separately. They also sell exposed shower faucets that allow connection to your in wall plumbing without having to breakdown the wall to get to it.
- LaToscana – LaToscana sells a wide selection of faucet and sinks. They have a new faucet called the I-kit that combines the functionality of a spray kitchen faucet with modern electronic controls. They also have a selection of full function shower set ups that include everything from the body sprays to rain drop shower heads and integrated handshowers for the complete shower experience.
- World Imports Lighting – World Imports is quickly becoming the premier company to use when replacing lighting in your home. They have collections for every type of design style with a price that is hard for other companies to compete with. They have been constantly pushing their new innovation in outdoor and indoor lighting. Consider this brand for something new to add to your household design.
- Decolav – Last but not least, Decolav has been pushing the envelop on the transition to the modern kitchen. Through their style and design they have made the vessel sink into a product that defines modern style. Their collections are both beautiful and practical, while there price is hard to match. Consider a clear vessel sink for your next renovation.
