West One Bathrooms, the UK’s leading luxury bathroom specialist, is delighted to announce the launch of the Wall&Deco 2025 collection - a new series of innovative waterproof wallpaper patterns that continue to push the boundaries of creativity and design in the modern bathroom.

Over the past decade, West One Bathrooms has seen a significant rise in clients incorporating wallpaper within bathrooms. Once considered unconventional, waterproof wallpaper has now become one of the most exciting design movements in interior architecture. Its unique blend of durability, texture, and personalisation offers a warm and expressive alternative to traditional tiles.

“Bathroom design has evolved far beyond functionality,” says Duncan Waters, Managing Director at West One Bathrooms. “Clients want spaces that feel luxurious and personal. Waterproof wallpaper allows them to inject individuality and warmth, while still maintaining complete practicality.”

The Wall&Deco 2025 collection introduces a new range of designs from bold artistic statements to subtle, nature-inspired textures, all engineered for wet environments through the brand’s patented WET System® technology. This ensures resistance to moisture, humidity, and direct water contact, making it suitable for use even in shower enclosures.

At West One Bathrooms, the demand for decorative, design-led surfaces continues to grow, reflecting a shift toward interiors that feel more bespoke and experiential. Waterproof wallpaper has become a favourite among designers seeking to balance beauty and performance.

“Tiles will always have their place,” adds Duncan, “but wallpaper allows for freedom of expression, it transforms bathrooms into true extensions of personal style.”

Continuing their mission to find innovative bathroom products, West One Bathrooms have added Finnish brand, Woodio, to their collection. A modern day bathroom and interior design company, Woodio brings together the best of Nordic design traditions and the use of sustainable bio-material innovation in a contemporary way.

Duncan Waters, Managing Director at West One Bathrooms, explains: “We tirelessly search for designs that blend style with innovation – and this includes offering clients the choice of more sustainable ranges. The materials you choose to put into your bathroom can go a long way to making your home more sustainable and that’s why we’re excited to stock Woodio – exclusive to West One Bathrooms.”

So what makes Woodio so cutting edge in the eco-friendly bathroom world? Duncan continues: “Every product is made from a signature material called Woodio®. It’s the world’s first 100% waterproof wood composite, designed to replace ceramic and stone materials sustainably. The raw material used comes from aspen wood chips, sourced from PEFC and FSC certified forests in Finland, and the range also includes products made from wood chips derived from the by-products of the Finnish forest industry. These wood chips are mixed with polyester resin, which means that half of the material is bio-based, and half is fossil.”

Within the collection is a range of bathroom products including toilets, freestanding baths, basins, accessories and even sheet material that can be used on walls instead of other surface materials. Each can be purchased in one of 14 different shades.

Woodio’s manufacturing process doesn’t require high temperatures so has low energy requirements, and the company also uses 100% renewable energy, too. It also generates minimal material waste, and water is only needed for colouring the wood chips. Thanks to these factors, the carbon footprint of Woodio products is 30-50% lower than that of traditional ceramics or stone-based products. The finished product feels amazing, too – soft, warm and smooth – making it a welcome alternative to traditional bathroom surfaces.

Woodio - West One Bathrooms

Duncan continues: “The wood chips are hand-dyed using water-soluble stains, achieving beautiful colours inspired by the wild nature of the north – from the colourful forest floor to the snow that covers it in wintertime. It’s a stunning, contemporary range that includes basins, baths, toilets and panels, with an array of shades to choose from. There’s also the possibility to create a bespoke colour for larger orders – this is a great opportunity for interior designers tackling big projects which balance contemporary style with eco-friendly credentials.”

Sustainability also comes from the quality and longevity that Woodio products offer – completely waterproof, scratch-resistant, dirt-repellent and UV-resistant, they’re easy to maintain. The wood used in the designs stores carbon throughout its lifecycle, and at the end of its life, can be disposed of as 100 percent energy waste or returned to Woodio for crushing, reusing and reusing in the manufacture of cement – it’s a brand that really does offer a perfect circular economy.

Woodio is exclusively available at West One Bathrooms.

GRAFF, the luxury bath and kitchen fixture company, proudly unveils the wall-mounted Riva Chandelier Shower, a stunning evolution of the sculptural showerhead that seamlessly merges elegance with cutting-edge functionality.

GRAFF
GRAFF

Building on the success of the original ceiling-mounted model, the Riva Chandelier Collection now welcomes two wall-mounted interpretations, each offering a unique sensory experience. Two distinct expressions, one iconic design-crafted to elevate both relaxation and precision.

GRAFF

The straight version features refined nozzles that release expanding jets, creating a soft, widening spray pattern while maintaining a sleek and compact profile. The horizontal version takes the experience further, combining two elegant flows: on the left, the same expanding jet as the straight model; on the right, a graceful waterfall cascade that delivers a sensation of pure comfort and elevated well-being, an experience bordering on perfection.

Inspired by the luminous silhouette of a contemporary chandelier, the new wall-mounted version retains the sculptural and luxurious character of the collection, while introducing added versatility and design potential. Compatible with Riva shower plates available in both traditional and contemporary styles, this new configuration offers endless customization possibilities, adapting seamlessly to any interior style.

This is the quiet power of Riva, where water flows as design and the daily routine transforms into a deeply personal ritual, a celebration of balance, grace, and the exquisite beauty of a moment crafted just for you.

C.P. Hart

What has been your most significant company highlight or success from the past year?

I have only been with the business for seven months, after a career in the KBB sector, during which I had long admired C.P. Hart. What has surprised me most is the level of innovation and care within the company. Despite its well-deserved reputation as a leader in the luxury bathroom sector, I was amazed to see how focused the team is on the customer experience and the smallest details that ensure perfection in every completed bathroom, whether in a client’s home or on one of our trade partners’ large-scale projects.

C.P. Hart

What are the latest trends you’ve noticed in your client’s requests?

In recent years, we’ve seen a shift away from the minimalist, white, clinical-style bathrooms that dominated much of the early 2000s. Instead, our clients are increasingly drawn to more colourful, characterful spaces that reflect the opulence of earlier design eras such as the Art Deco period and the glamour of the 1970s.

There’s a growing appetite for bathrooms with colour, texture, pattern, and depth, now shifting to spaces that feel rich and layered through the clever use of materials. Alongside this, spa-inspired bathrooms are becoming hugely popular. What was once the preserve of luxury hotels is now far more attainable at home, with innovations in home saunas, steam, and wellness-led design.

Another key trend is the introduction of nature into the bathroom. Clients are looking to bring the outdoors in through organic textures, natural finishes, and earthy tones. Tiles play an essential role in this transformation, and with hundreds of ranges to choose from, they allow us to create highly personalised schemes tailored to each client’s vision.

C.P. Hart

How do you see the interior design industry evolving in the year ahead?

We anticipate the year ahead will continue the move toward more expressive, personalised interiors. Clients are becoming bolder, stepping away from uniform, neutral schemes and instead embracing colour, pattern, and layered textures that tell a story and create a sense of individuality. Our clients want their bathrooms to be an extension of their home.

Wellness-focused design will also continue grow, with interiors, particularly bathrooms, being seen as restorative spaces for relaxation and self-care. The integration of spa-like features, natural elements will only increase.

Technology will also play an important role, from smart lighting and water-saving solutions to innovations that make luxury features more accessible.

Is there anything new you are excited to be working on?

While we always remain discreet about our clientele, it’s continually a pleasure to encounter some of the major celebrities who trust us with their homes. Similarly, there are significant developers bringing exceptional, large-scale projects to life across the Capital. Even after several decades in the industry, I’m still excited by the opportunity to source exclusive products for our customers and to make a real difference in someone’s home.

C.P. Hart
Dean Weston, Managing Director of C.P. Hart

When it comes to bathroom design, the mirror is so much more than a practical necessity. It’s a focal point, a light-enhancer and a clever way to make your space feel bigger and brighter. Whether you're planning a full renovation or just refreshing tired décor, the right mirror can instantly elevate your bathroom.

“Don’t underestimate the power of a well-chosen bathroom mirror, as it’s always the first thing people notice when they walk into the room,” advises Natalie Bird, Brand Marketing Manager at Roca. “And with that in mind, Roca’s new Luna mirrors are hard to beat. From size and shape to lighting and storage, the collection has all the flexibility you need to design a mirror moment that feels effortlessly considered.”

Here’s Roca’s five points to consider before choosing your bathroom mirror.

1. Size matters

Let’s start with the basics: scale is everything. Your mirror should sit comfortably within your bathroom layout – large enough to be functional and well-proportioned, but not so oversized that it overpowers the room.

As a general rule, choose a mirror that’s in proportion to your vanity. Therefore, it should either be roughly the same width – or just slightly narrower – or have enough height to balance out a narrower width, as with the Luna oval mirrors. For double basins, you’ve got two stylish options: a single mirror that spans both basins for a sleek, unified look, or twin mirrors for a more symmetrical, tailored feel.

Luna Frame Ambient 800 x 800mm mirror, £600
Luna Ambient oval mirror, £414

2. What different shapes bring to the room

The shape of your mirror can dramatically influence the overall vibe of your bathroom. Roca’s new Luna collection is available in round, oval and square designs, each offering a different design impact:

Round mirrors soften the space and add a spa-like calm. They’re especially effective in breaking up angular tile lines or sharp corners.

Oval mirrors make a statement and are great for height-challenged spaces as they visually elongate the wall.

Square mirrors are a classic, versatile choice that feel bold and balanced, ideal for both traditional and contemporary bathrooms.

3. Backlit vs. non-backlit

Lighting is everything, especially in the bathroom. The type of mirror you choose can significantly impact how the room looks and how you feel in it.

Backlit mirrors come with integrated LED lighting that creates a soft, halo-like glow. Not only does this eliminate shadows – great for applying makeup or shaving – it also provides ambient lighting that’s perfect for relaxing in the bath or for middle-of-the-night visits to the toilet. The Luna Ambient mirrors are backlit by energy-efficient LED technology and are IP44 rated, meaning they’re safe and specially designed for use in bathroom zones where moisture and splashes are a concern – an essential feature for safety and longevity.

Non-backlit mirrors are typically more affordable and work best when paired with well-planned lighting. You can either place wall lights on either side of the mirror to reduce shadows on your face. Or, if using an overhead light, position it slightly in front of the mirror (rather than directly above) to avoid casting harsh shadows. Roca’s Luna collection also includes non-backlit options, so you can choose the version that best suits your budget and layout.

4. A mirror with storage?

Looking for form and function? Mirrors with integrated storage are a clever solution, especially in smaller bathrooms. Mirrors with storage work double duty, helping to keep toiletries out of sight and off your countertop. They’re ideal for busy family bathrooms or compact ensuites where every inch counts. Just be aware that some storage designs can feel a bit bulkier or reduce the visible mirror area slightly.

If you're after a minimalist, streamlined look, a non-storage mirror is your go-to. They pair beautifully with everything from sleek modern fittings to more classic schemes. The Luna mirrors, for instance, offer a clean, contemporary profile that works in almost any design setting. The trade-off? You’ll need to plan your storage elsewhere – think vanity drawers, shelves, or wall-mounted cabinets.

Luna Ambient Frame rectangular mirror, from £533

5. In the frame – or not

Your mirror should reflect your personality as much as your face. Frame style – or the lack of one – can impact the overall mood of your space:

Framed mirrors: A slim, coloured metal frame adds polish and helps tie the mirror into your wider scheme. For example, it could be matched to your brassware, handles or towel rails for a pulled-together look.

Frameless mirrors: Clean, modern and almost invisible, these are perfect for minimalist bathrooms or smaller spaces where simplicity is key.

Luna mirrors come with either a black frame or frameless option – looks that work across a range of interiors, whether you’re going bold or keeping it neutral.

At ISH 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for water and energy technologies, bathroom design took centre stage for an exchange of ideas and innovations. Roca, a global leader in bathroom solutions, unveiled a series of new and reimagined products that encapsulate the key trends emerging from the event.

“This year’s ISH has highlighted a shift towards bathrooms that blend aesthetics, functionality and sustainability,” says Natalie Bird, Brand Marketing Manager at Roca. “From moody metallics to smart technology, the industry is moving towards designs that enhance both lifestyle and well-being. Roca is proud to be at the forefront of this evolution, offering products that resonate with contemporary living needs.”

Moody metallics make a bold and sophisticated statement

One of the most striking trends at ISH 2025 was moody metallics, bringing depth, drama and a refined sense of luxury to modern bathrooms. Moving beyond traditional chrome, these darker, brushed and matt metallic finishes create an intimate yet sophisticated ambience.

Designed by Stefan Diez, Roca’s Kay brassware collection epitomises this trend. Inspired by anchor mounting points, Kay introduces fluidity and strength – its oval-shaped operating lever adding a touch of softness to the otherwise angular design, while the sculptural form makes a bold visual impact. Available in six curated finishes – Chrome, Matt Black, Matt White, Brushed Brass, Brushed Graphite and Stainless Steel – the Kay collection offers versatility while enhancing the moody aesthetic that defines modern elegance.

Soft geometrics create a harmonious balance in design

Another key trend is soft geometrics, where pieces combine angular forms and curved elements, creating a wholly balanced design. The Kay mixer, mentioned above, is a good example, by bringing sharpness and softness into balance and redefining squarish design, as is the reimagined Meridian collection.

Designed by Altherr Désile Park (ADP) and led by Jeanette Altherr, Meridian draws inspiration from Mediterranean architecture. The basin is rectangular in shape, but it contains a softly curved oval bowl within, to create an overall form that is light and flowing. The basins can be either be paired with a steel frame or a vanity unity – but in both cases, the straight lines are softened by the delicate contours. Storage solutions such as metal boxes and drawers ensure a clutter-free space, while a natural palette of White, Black and warm Beige wood tones reinforces the collection’s organic appeal.

Japanese soaking tubs for wellness in compact spaces

Reflecting a growing movement towards wellness-focused design, Japanese soaking tubs emerged as a standout trend at ISH 2025. Inspired by the traditional Ofuro, these deep, space-efficient tubs prioritise full-body immersion and relaxation, making them ideal for urban homes and spa-like retreats.

As part of the Ohtake collection, Roca introduces a new Stonex® Japanese soaking tub designed by Rodrigo Ohtake. Paying tribute to his late father, Ruy Ohtake, who collaborated on the original collection, Rodrigo’s design recreates a traditional bath in a modern composite material. Featuring an integrated seat for a cocoon-like bathing experience, the tub is complemented by sustainable soy resin accessories, including a multifunctional entry step that doubles as a stool, reinforcing both functionality and eco-conscious design.

Smart WCs offer the future of intelligent bathroom solutions

The bathroom sector continues to be transformed by smart technology, with smart WCs still gaining prominence at ISH 2025. Consumers are increasingly prioritising hygiene, comfort and efficiency, driving the adoption of intelligent toilets that integrate cutting-edge technology.

Roca’s new In-Wash Vorea WC represents the pinnacle of this trend. It features Coanda Effect drying with three air pressure levels, plus Airtech, which mixes air with water for a better washing experience. Other features include a heated seat and a self-cleaning UVlight nozzle that eliminates 99.99% of bacteria.

The In-Wash Vorea can be controlled via the Roca Connect app (which also provides real-time data on water usage and maintenance alerts), the remote control or integrated control panel. It is also available as an In-Tank version, where the tank is integrated into the bowl for a sleek and spacesaving solution.
