Bathroom Basics

Alicia Keys once said, “If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want – I go to the bathroom.” Sounds simple enough, but there is a lot of weight to what Alicia is saying here. For many of us it is a sacred place where do more than the usual job. Remodeling or maintaining the existing one, shouldn’t have to be a chore. The Fresca range that showcased here, is easy to install and affordable too! Take a look!

Fresca Bellezza Modern Double Vessel Bathroom Vanity

If you marry marble, real wood and ceramic, then the chances of you getting anything more perfect than this Bellezza Vanity are slim. The minimalist design integrates a convenient medicine cabinet and is designed to come with the Soana faucet. Impressive!

Fresca Largo Modern Bathroom Vanity

Another double sink vanity that looks at sprucing up your bathroom! This vanity integrates uniquely designed chrome faucets and special pull out drawers. If you like splashing water to clean your face then you will appreciate the large sink and its wavy bottom. The Largo is designed to come with the Isarus faucet.

Fresca Platinum Paris

This 44″ glossy silver-black bathroom vanity with Swarovski handles marries 21st century minimalism and 19th century decadence. Features like solid wood body with lacquered black and silver gloss create an ambience of elegance.

The durable optical glass countertop and handles made from zamac with Swarovski crystals, accentuate the practical elements of the design.

Barely-there Biffy

Iota is an ingenious solution that not only uses considerably less water than standard toilets, but even has a smaller physical footprint in the bathroom! The magic is in a folding mechanism that makes it just a third the size of a standard toilet! Watch it almost disappear!

The folding bowl houses a built-in U bend that disengages from the waste pipe whilst still maintaining an air tight seal. When closed in the flush position, the U bend reengages simultaneously when the cistern flushes. A current standard toilet uses 6 liters of water on ever flush while Iota only uses 2.5 liters. That’s more than 50% less!

Sink AND Shower

Two in One combines the functionality of both a shower and sink faucet into one object. How?! Thanks to a sealed, jointed arm, the user simply rotates the shower head down to direct water over the sink. It’s not exactly the first solution you might think of to cut back on materials or save space, but the result is nonetheless clever and attractive so long as you can squeeze its specific dimensions into your bathroom.

Beyond a Blowdryer

Chances are the words “communal blowdryer” spark some less than desirable mental images from your last visit a hotel bathroom. Not cute! The OBLOW dryer solves many of the functional and aesthetic issues of current models with a cordless, minimal, wall-mounted, easy-to-clean design. That’s easy enough… but the heart of the system is its digital interface that allows users to play music, schedule a taxi, check flights, locate points of interest and anything else a traveler needs!

Sexy Hollywood Bath

How about a sexy soak in a tub that has all the glitz and glam of Hollywood? The Xiuxi Bathtub has air injection device at the bottom that puts forth bubble bursts of water and friction that causes the anion to open pores of the skin cells. There is infrared light to stimulate cell tissues and enhance blood circulation. In short it’s a spa bath and treatment at home, at the fraction of the cost.

The specs include a Whirlpool pump to swirl the water for a pressure massage, speakers for music, mood lighting, Haptic function utilizing new technologies and auto temperature control. I love the transparent look of the tub.

Best of Bathroom Concepts in 2013

When you got you go…you got to go! But after you’re done and take stock of your environment, then it really sinks in, are you using a classy bathroom or is it just another crappy (pun intended) place to relive yourself? Truth is, we all love innovations in the bathroom space, be it a tushy-warming toilet seat or a high-tech bath. 2013 saw some radicle trends that addressed the space crunch by merging the living and bathing space, as well as elegance in designing techniques. Here’s a quick recap of what some designers sought to improve….

Perfect Pearly Whites

How many times do you brush your teeth? Perhaps twice, however if you brush them thrice a day, your teeth can stay healthy teeth and free from bad breath. Of course lesser dentist bills are a given! To encourage this habit – brushing thrice for three minutes each time, we have here the Perfect 3 Minute Brushing system. It is a portable toothbrush that is easy to use.

How to use:

  • First, pull down the ring.
  • This activates a timer that will indicate the remaining three minutes.
  • During brushing, the string will retract and the timer will revert to its original position.
  • The ring can be used to hang the toothbrush after use.

Perfect 3 Minute is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.

Designers: Jung Han Gyul & Lee Ji Hyeon

If Only Costner Made WaterWall…

… the result would have been a new ecological water heater for the bathroom! Apparently this wall integrated water storage has a coating on the glass surfaces to help absorb solar energy. This of course means that the water sandwiched between the glass panes will also get heated. Moreover the translucent glass allows natural sunlight to stream into the bathroom. So nice!

Bathroom Chromotherapy

The Northern Lights have attracted the night sky watchers for ages. This collection of backlit bathroom furniture takes inspiration from and mimics this natural phenomenon. The integrated LED diffusion effect is enhanced only by the smooth, organic shape of each piece and can be adjusted in intensity and color to suite the user’s mood.
