3 Bathroom tapware trends for 2016

Taps are certainly the most important aspect of your bathroom. If you’re renovating your bathroom or building a new one, for sure, you will need to purchase bathroom tapware. However, to make your bathroom an elegant space, you must consider which tapware types are currently trending.

I’ve been the head of purchasing at Ross’s for quite a few years now. Having been in the home improvement business for some years, I have a pretty good idea of the latest trends in bathroom tapware in Perth. I need to keep myself updated with trends, as this allows us to do business better with our customers. In this article, I will share with you what has been trending in tapware in the past and what is currently in trend.

1. Opt for organic tapware shapes

I often take the time to read up on what expert designers have to say about trends in the home improvement market. Recently, I came across an article that quoted Daniela Santini, business manager of Reece Bathroom. In her opinion, soft edges, curved designs, and organic shapes are the hottest bathroom tapware trend of 2016. To quote Daniela, “Products are becoming sleeker as technological advances in the manufacture of bathroom products continue. Tapware can be made with thinner, more streamlined profiles when new materials are used in the bathroom. As part of the trend towards fine lines, many consumers choose geometric, square-inspired shapes. Instead of traditionally solid, thick square shapes, consumers are choosing more slim-line designs”. I’ve found this to be largely true. Right through last year and into this year, I’ve noticed that many of our customers opt for more slim-line shapes in tapware instead of the traditional rounded tapware of the past. To keep up with this trend, we have introduced the Square and the Cube collections of tapware, alongside some other geometrically shaped tapware into our collection.

2. The industrial theme is proving to be a hit

I’ve also noticed that the industrial theme in tapware is proving to be a major hit with interior designers, stylists and style-conscious homeowners. Industrial designs in tapware are increasingly being sought after by customers that we have served in the recent past. The industrial aesthetic brings about an excellent combination of functionality and imagination. Twin tap handles, ceramic discs and concealed aerators are some of the functional aspects of the industrial theme, while bold colours and contradictory shapes give this theme a definitive look. To adopt the industrial theme, take a look at our Star Wall Sets from our collection of tapware at Ross’s Discount Home Centre.

3. Matte black tapware

Arguably, the biggest trend in tapware colour – matte black tapware is seeing an immense surge in popularity in 2016. With high demand, we have introduced a range of matte black products in our tapware collection. Stylish yet not overwhelming, the elegant matte black finish on tapware will turn any bathroom into a contemporary and sleek space. If you’d like to adopt this colour trend for your tapware in Perth, check out our collection here at Ross’s. We have an extensive selection of matte black tapware for you to choose from. I recommend you look at our Cube range or our Square range of bathroom tapware, which features a classy matte black finish.
