Let's be honest, flush plates don't usually steal the spotlight in a bathroom! But Roca is about to change that with Duplo S, a collection that proves even the smallest details can make a big impact.

Designed for homeowners and designers who appreciate both style and functionality, Duplo S offers a bold new take on flush plates. Featuring a mix of sleek finishes, premium materials, and eye-catching designs, this collection brings an unexpected touch of sophistication and, dare we say, fun to any bathroom. Please note, Duplo S flush plates are exclusively compatible with the Roca Duplo S Toilet Installation Systems.

Duplo 5 PS1 flush plate in Matt White, £110.
PS2 flush plate in Matt Black, £132.

Choose the right fixtures

With five distinct models-PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 (Single and Dual) and PS5-Duplo S caters to every style preference. Choose from designs with more conventional square and rectangular buttons or rounded geometric shapes, all in a wide choice of colours and finishes.

For a minimalist look, there's White, Chrome, Matt White and Matt Black, while the contemporary Glass finishes in White, Anthracite and Black bring a crisp, polished edge to the bathroom. Meanwhile, for a luxurious touch, the collection features metallic PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finishes in Titanium Black, Brushed Titanium Black, Rose Gold, Brushed Brass, and Brushed Stainless Steel, designed to perfectly complement Roca's brassware. PVD is a durable coating process that provides a sleek, high-quality metallic finish, enhancing both appearance and longevity.

Duplo S plates also come in five new organic-look and textured finishes -Ceramic White, Ceramic Black, Concrete, Slate and Oak - which add warmth. And if you love a bold, playful statement, vibrant shades like Honey Yellow, Mint Green and Cobalt Blue introduce a fresh pop of colour that makes an impact.

Duplo S PS4 Dual flush plate in Matt Black, £110.

A perfectly coordinated bathroom

The Duplo S collection seamlessly integrates with some of Roca's existing ranges. For example, the Honey Yellow flush plate is the same shade as Nu brassware, while the Rose Gold finish coordinates with the ONA Rose Gold toilet roll holder.

"Homeowners want their bathrooms to feel intentional and well thought out. Matching elements-whether it's taps, accessories, or flush plates - help elevate the overall design. It's these small but impactful details that transform a bathroom into a beautifully curated space," says Natalie Bird, Brand Marketing Manager at Roca UK.

Another advantage of the Duplo S flush plate is its compact size. Measuring 20.5 x 14.5cm, it is smaller than most plates on the market, which are typically 25 x 16cm. This makes it more aesthetically pleasing.

Customise the plate to suit your scheme

For those who want to add a personalised touch, the PS3 and PS4 models can be customised, allowing you to create a flush plate that perfectly suits your scheme. With 11 front panel finishes and four push button colours to choose from, you could pair Concrete with Matt Black for a bold, industrial feel or combine Oak with Brushed Brass for a warm, sophisticated look.

"With its versatile design, premium materials and customisation options, the Duplo S collection transforms the flush plate from a simple necessity into a standout feature of modern bathroom design," says Natalie. "This collection is more than just a finishing touch-it's an opportunity to elevate bathroom aesthetics in a way that is both functional and full of character."

Something that the experts at Roca know all too well is that most people’s bathrooms are on the small side. A compact space doesn’t mean planning it will be minimal, though – in fact, you’ll need to consider everything even more carefully.

“Start by assessing the space available,” advises Natalie Bird, Roca Brand Manager. “Measure the dimensions of your bathroom accurately, including the height. Then, identify and mark the positions of windows, doors and existing plumbing, as this will help in planning the layout efficiently. Then, determine which are the most important fixtures for you; in a compact bathroom, you may need to prioritise a shower over a bath, for example.”

Natalie continues with the following hints and tips – which should help you to create a well-planned stylish and functional compact bathroom that feels much larger than it is.

Choose the right fixtures

When choosing fixtures for a compact bathroom, opt for smaller, space-saving options. Consider installing wall-mounted sanitaryware that frees up the floor; this is important because it creates a sense of openness and makes the room feel less cramped. Compact bathtubs designed to fit into tighter spaces are also a great choice. Additionally, seek out multifunctional items that serve dual purposes, such as a vanity unit with built-in storage or a toilet roll holder fixed on the side of your vanity unit. These combine essential functions while maximising the use of available space.

Plan the layout carefully

Focus on making optimal use of the available space, however limited. Arrange fixtures to maximise the room's functionality, such as keeping the toilet and basin on one wall to save on plumbing costs and create a more streamlined appearance. Ensure there is enough space to move comfortably by maintaining a good flow throughout the bathroom. And avoid placing sanitaryware or storage too close to doors or windows, as this can obstruct movement and make the room feel more cramped.

Roca

Select clever storage solutions

To make the most of a compact bathroom, utilise vertical space by installing wall-mounted cabinets and shelves, which help to free up valuable floor space and keep the room uncluttered. Additionally, incorporate hidden storage solutions, such as mirrored cabinets above the basin, to maintain a tidy and organised environment. These clever storage options not only maximise the use of available space but also enhance the overall functionality and aesthetics of the bathroom.

Roca

A few final tips…

To create a seamless look, use the same flooring throughout the bathroom; larger tiles are particularly effective in making the room appear more spacious. Keep the decor minimal to stop it feeling overwhelming and opt for simple, stylish accessories that enhance the room's aesthetic without overwhelming it. Incorporate personal touches such as plants, artwork or a stylish shower curtain to add character and warmth to the space. Finally, utilise large mirrors to create the illusion of a larger room; they can reflect light and make the space appear twice its actual size, contributing to an open and airy atmosphere.

Belgian luxury kitchen appliance brand, Novy, has launched Designer Lighting 2.0, its latest collection of smart touchless gesture-controlled lighting products for the kitchen. The collection includes the Pendant, Shelf and Wall models in a range of new lengths starting from 95cm up to 305cm. In addition, all Designer Lighting 2.0 models are now available in a new Mineral White colourway, together with Mineral Black.

Providing a premium aesthetic for the contemporary kitchen, Novy’s Designer Lighting 2.0 collection has been developed to provide smart lighting solutions for kitchen specialists and interior designers to showcase in their projects. The Pendant is an ideal overhead accompaniment to a Novy vented hob installed within a kitchen island, while the Shelf and Shelf Pro models answer the growing trend for floating shelves as opposed to wall-mounted cabinets in a scheme. The Wall is a further solution that can be used to illuminate a recess in the kitchen or within a home bar, where there is an option to change the colour temperature and hue to create a specific ambience, as required.

New Mineral White Colourway

The Designer Lighting 2.0 collection is available in Mineral Black or new Mineral White colourways. Every model in the 2.0 collection is manufactured and hand-assembled at the Novy factory in Kuurne, Belgium. Each is hand-sprayed using a specially formulated matt finish powder-coated paint that features a mineralised structure, ensuring it is less sensitive to fingerprint marks and is easier to clean.

Choice of Lengths

All Pendant, Shelf and Wall models in the Designer Lighting 2.0 Collection are available in the following lengths: 95cm, 125cm,155cm,185cm, 215cm, 245cm, 275cm and 305cm. The Shelf Pro models that feature Novy’s Gesture Control Pro technology are available in the following lengths: 125cm, 155cm,185cm, 215cm, 245cm, 275cm and 305cm.

Advanced Illumination

The Designer Lighting 2.0 collection benefits from advanced lighting technology. All models feature smooth illumination from a powerful integrated LED strip line that delivers 3500 Lux, an equivalent of 50% more Lumen per m² than in previous versions. The adjustable light intensity and colour temperature range from 2,700K to 4,000K to deliver ambient lighting with greater depth, and stronger functional or task lighting.

Gesture Controls

Touchless gesture-controlled lighting is simple to use with a range of learnt gestures that activate the light and adjust the luminosity. With the Pendant, Shelf and Wall models, there is a sensor at the centre of the base. By swiping under the sensor the LEDs are activated, holding your hand under the sensor then changes the light intensity from functional to ambient, while another quick gesture will deactivate it. The Shelf Pro model features Gesture Control Pro with sensors along the entire base of the shelf so the beam can be directed where you want it, above or below the shelf. Holding your open hand just beneath the sensor accesses a palette of colour options, ideal for changing the mood in the room.

Five Year Warranty

Every Designer Lighting 2.0 model in the collection comes with a five-year warranty.

A Word From Natalie

As a leader in the bathroom industry, Roca remains at the forefront of design and innovation, delivering products that blend functionality with aesthetic excellence. In our 2025 Trend Report, we are excited to present four key trends shaping the future of bathroom spaces.

First, the blend of open and closed storage in vanity units reflects a desire for balance between personal expression and practicality. Open storage showcases meaningful items, while closed storage keeps essentials out of sight, creating a clean, customised look.

Natalie Bird, Marketing Manager, Roca

Next, we see a shift towards softer, organic shapes. As homes become sanctuaries, especially bathrooms, the gentle curves of designs like our Tura bathtub promote relaxation and mindfulness, transforming these spaces into havens of calm.

Our third trend addresses the growing need for personalisation among renters. Cue Roca's Sonata collection, which provides non- permanent solutions that allow renters to customise their bathrooms without making permanent changes, reflecting the trend toward flexibility and personal expression.

Finally, the popularity of warm terracotta, neutral shades and wood-inspired finishes marks a continuing interest in nature. These earthy tones, aligned with the biophilic design movement, create grounding, peaceful environments that promote wellness and stress relief.

I hope you find inspiration in these trends as you explore the innovative possibilities Roca offers, helping you reimagine your bathroom as a space of comfort, beauty and functionality. - Natalie Bird, Marketing Manager, Roca

Trend One: Blending Practicality and Personality

In recent years, bathroom design has seen a shift towards blending open and closed storage in vanity units. Open storage provides the opportunity for homeowners to showcase their style by displaying beautiful or meaningful items. Whether it's a collection of perfumes or stylish towels, open shelving in bathroom vanities turns these utilitarian spaces into extensions of personal expression. It invites creativity and gives an open, airy feel to the room, adding visual interest while reflecting individual taste.

On the other hand, closed storage offers a practical solution for hiding clutter. We all have items we'd prefer not to display, from everyday toiletries to cleaning supplies, and closed drawers or cupboards ensure these remain tucked away. This approach is particularly useful for maintaining a clean, organised look in a space that often sees high use. Closed storage, therefore, helps keep the bathroom neat while also reducing visual noise, adding a sleek, minimalist touch.

This trend towards a mix of open and closed storage reflects a broader shift in society, where individuality and customisation are increasingly valued. People are no longer satisfied with cookie-cutter designs; they want to infuse their personality into every corner of their home, even in functional spaces like the bathroom. And this balance between display-worthy items and discreet storage also aligns with contemporary design trends, where spaces are not only about how they look, but how they make you feel.

Thanks to its organic curves and a simple design, the Tura bath embodies the trend for minimalism

Trend Two: Soft Forms For a Softer World

In 2025, bathroom design will continue to move away from the dominance of harsh, angular lines in favour of softer, more organic shapes. This shift not only reflects aesthetic preferences but also runs parallel with broader lifestyle trends like minimalism and the slow-living movement. At the forefront of this design revolution is Roca's stunning Tura bathtub, whose clean lines and gentle curves exemplify this trend.

Incorporating more rounded forms into bathroom design is an evolution of minimalism. Where minimalism once meant boxy shapes and sharp corners, today's interpretation is more fluid and connected to nature.

The Tura bathtub is a perfect example, as it demonstrates how organic forms can embody the simplicity and tranquillity of minimalism while also creating a sense of warmth and calm.

In a world that is increasingly fast-paced and digitally saturated, our homes - and particularly our bathrooms - are becoming spaces of retreat. A bathroom designed with curves and gentle forms promotes a sense of well-being, providing a physical environment that encourages relaxation and mindfulness.

Trend Three: The Future of Personalisation For Renters

With homeownership increasingly out of reach for many, renting has become the reality for a large section of the population. This shift has brought new challenges for those who wish to personalise their living spaces, particularly in rooms like the bathroom, where fixtures and fittings are usually permanent and difficult to change. Renters are looking for ways to put their stamp on the property, but without risking damage or losing their deposit.

Enter Sonata by Roca, a range of easy-to- install bathroom accessories designed specifically with renters in mind. No need for drilling or screws, the pieces in the Sonata collection can be attached with adhesives, allowing renters to add accessories like towel rings, toilet roll holders and hooks to their walls without incurring the landlord's wrath.

This approach makes it easier than ever to personalise a rented bathroom, giving tenants the freedom to express their style. Best of all, when it's time to move, the accessories can be easily removed without leaving any damage and taken to the next bathroom.

Trend Four: A Nod to Nature Indoors

The continuing popularity of warm terracotta, neutral shades and wood-inspired finishes in bathroom design reflects a broader movement towards reconnecting with nature. These design elements, inspired by earthy tones and organic materials, beautifully align with the principles of biophilic design, which seeks to strengthen our bond with the natural world. For people in urban environments, this nature-infused approach provides a soothing antidote to the stresses of modern life.

Terracotta hues, reminiscent of clay and sun- kissed landscapes, bring warmth and grounding to a space, creating an inviting and cosy atmosphere. Complementing these tones are wood-inspired finishes, which introduce a tactile, natural texture that amplifies the room's organic feel. And alongside both of these, neutral shades like soft greys, beiges and off-whites create a calm, serene ambiance perfect for spaces devoted to relaxation and wellness.

Incorporating these natural elements goes beyond aesthetics. It taps into our deep- rooted desire for connection with the outdoors. This design approach allows even the most modern spaces to offer a retreat from urban demands, grounding them in the calming energy of nature.

During this project by NB Interiors, the master bedroom went under a transformation from smaller details such as moving the bed location over slightly to make way for wall lights and centralising this more on the wall, to a more dramatic change that had a bigger impact; the opening up of the entrance to the dressing room/wardrobe.

Prior to the updates this was a door from the bedroom into the wardrobe, to open up the area this door was fully removed and the entrance was opened up to make a wider doorway. This meant the room felt less door heavy, reducing from three to two in total in the bedroom, and brought this space more into the bedroom, it made the whole room feel bigger, allowing in more light.

Photography: Kezia Tan Media

With the original built in wardrobe’s removed the layout was reconfigured and new bespoke wardrobes were built in but this time also including a dressing table and window seat with shoe storage. By removing a radiator from under the window and adding in underfloor heating instead allowed storage to wrap around the room and made it possible to have a dressing table, with the bench seat under the window doubled up as shoe storage.

The colour scheme was restful, light and airy. Clean lines and minimalist style with furniture, wardrobe handles, bespoke wardrobes, bespoke headboard all created a contemporary but timeless master bedroom.

Textured wallpaper was used on the main wall and also repeated this on the wardrobe doors, a soft loop wool carpet was added, texture fabric with piping for the headboard was repeated for the bench seat cushion, plus the curtains and roman blinds were made of three different but complementary fabrics – this was to create a design feature and add more detail to the room, but also keeping the straight, minimal lines.

Attention detail features throughout the room, notably the textured finials on the curtain pole, the green floating shelves linking the sage green into the bedroom and creating a cohesive flow. The final result of this bedroom renovation meant it felt more spacious, open, lighter and tranquil.

Bathrooms are one of the most essential spaces in any home, the focal point for relaxation as well as self-care. Beyond functionality, the aesthetics and comfort of your bathroom can significantly influence your mood and daily routine. This is where choosing the right bathroom furniture becomes crucial. However, with the plethora of options available, selecting the ideal pieces can be overwhelming. In this guide, Natalie Bird, Marketing Manager of Roca UK, provides a simple three-point checklist to help you navigate the process.

Step one: Assess your space

To begin, it is vital to assess the available space in your bathroom. Its size and layout will determine what furniture will fit comfortably without making the room feel cramped. Start by measuring the dimensions of your bathroom, including the floor space and the height of the walls. Consider any alcoves, nooks or protruding walls that could affect the placement of furniture. Mark on a plan the toilet, shower and basin, as these are the fixed points around which furniture must fit. Doors and windows can also limit where you place furniture, so ensure there’s enough clearance for doors to open and close and that windows aren’t obstructed. Additionally, evaluate your vertical space – tall cabinets or shelving units can be a great way to add storage without taking up too much floor space.

Roca
Roca

Step two: Determine your storage needs

Before choosing any pieces, it’s important to think about what you need to store and how much space you require. Start by identifying the shortcomings of your current bathroom set-up. Are your toiletries cluttered on the counter? Do you lack space for towels? Understanding these issues will guide you in selecting the right furniture. For instance, vanity units which combine a basin with storage space underneath are excellent for storing everyday items like toiletries, cleaning products and grooming tools. Roca’s Victoria-N range has a wide choice of vanity units with two or three drawers and in widths from 600mm to 1200mm.

In addition, make use of all wall space, including above the bath or toilet. Wall cabinets are perfect for storing items you don’t use daily but want within easy reach, such as medications or spare toilet paper. Also, think about shelving units, which are ideal for displaying decorative items or keeping towels handy. Finally, tall, narrow cabinets provide significant storage without taking up too much floor space – the Extra column unit coordinates with the Victoria-N range and is 1500mm high, so offers plenty of useful storage.

Roca
Roca

Step three: Focus on style and aesthetics

Storage is a highly functional element in the bathroom but that doesn’t mean it can’t also bring something to the look of the space. It’s important to focus on the aesthetics of the pieces you choose and ensure they align with the rest of the bathroom. Whether your bathroom is modern, traditional or somewhere in between, your furniture should both complement and enhance that style. Fortunately, where once bathroom furniture used to come only in timber-effect or white, there are now a whole host of colours and finishes to choose from. For example, the Victoria-N range is available in Sage Green, Light Ash and Walnut melamine, or Matt White or Onyx lacquer. Plus, the integrated handle and the furniture are the same colour for a cohesive look.

Roca’s new Victoria-N vanity unit is available with two or three drawers and in five widths: 600mm, 700mm, 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm. It pairs with the Extra column unit 1500 x 350mm and 750 x 350mm narrow-depth unit.

Weightless, powerful, refreshing: Serenity Sky from Dornbracht promises therapeutic water experiences. The new rain panel will be available with two or five flow modes from July 2024, and combines different principles in one product. Not only does this ensure complete and utter relaxation, but it also supports physical and mental wellbeing – fully in keeping with the motto “Follow Your Bliss”.

Dornbracht
Dornbracht

Self-Care at Home

For Serenity Sky, Dornbracht worked closely together with Dr Christoph Stumpe. The head of the famous Shen Men Institute in Düsseldorf and an expert on Traditional Chinese Medicine played a vital role in developing the different flow modes. The standard variant of Serenity Sky, also available as a FlowReduce version with a reduced flow rate, includes Purify Rain and Full Rain. With Full Rain, the droplets fall gently and extensively. They fully cover the body, leaving only the face free of water. Purify Rain, on the other hand, impresses with a powerful jet of water for efficient cleansing and hair washing.

Dornbracht

The enhanced variant, Serenity Sky+, has three additional flow modes: Laminar Flow, a concentrated and powerful jet of water that covers the skin gently and evenly. It is deeply warming but can also be used for cool Kneipp affusions to boost the metabolism and strengthen the cardiovascular system. Aquapressure Flow is used specifically for localised massaging of the shoulders and neck area. The solid and forceful water jet can help to release tension, reduce stress, and alleviate headaches. Cool Mist, on the other hand, produces a spray mist of tiny droplets that refreshes and revitalises. Thus, the rain panel from Dornbracht combines in one product principles from Kneipp therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and wellbeing research.

Dornbracht
Dornbracht

Light, and a Choice of Finishes Provide Numerous Opportunities for Individualisation

Other opportunities for individualisation are available in addition to the flow modes. If Serenity Sky is chosen with a light gap, different colours can be set to match the mood. Green, for instance, aids creativity, while red proves to be energetic and stimulating. The light can be controlled via any ZigBee-compliant smart home system, or by remote control. Seven finishes – from Chrome, to Champagne (22kt Gold), to Brushed Dark Platinum – also offer numerous options to seamlessly fit into any bathroom design.

Dornbracht

Intelligent Design

Serenity Sky impresses with a compact design that can be integrated into various interior designs. The rain panel created by Sieger Design fits completely flush into the ceiling, with no obvious screw fastenings. Minimised radii and small gap widths also ensure elegance and precision. A specially curated nozzle arrangement reduces water consumption as well.

Dornbracht

The fascinating interaction of water, light and effect produced by Serenity Sky is fully in keeping with the Dornbracht motto “Follow Your Bliss”: With its spa applications, the Iserlohn-based manufacturer invites users to integrate moments of happiness into everyday life, and substantially improve their quality of life.
