These modern bathroom designs from Delpha are impossible to take your eyes off! What is it that makes them so irresistible? We think it’s the exquisite attention to detail… characterised by the fabulous vanities: bathroom furniture that takes centre stage. These cabinets inspire the bold designs, fabulous tiling, and other themes throughout the bathroom ideas. The Unique 63 bathroom is a Moroccan style bathroom featuring vanities in wenge wood and glossy blackcurrant. Typical of this collection by Delpha, the cabinets have a professional, almost office-like look! This will appeal to those who like to neatly file away items, keeping them close to hand, but out of sight. Unique 123 is a geometrical, stunning bathroom in Imperial Red and metallic. The white cabinet displays a refined red, stylised flower in the bottom right corner of each drawer. Zesty Unique 123 also comes in brilliant oranges and pinks. As shown here, the vanities in this bathroom have a lovely all-over floral motif. In all these bathroom pictures you’ll note the vanity cabinets are finished with simple, linear metal handles. New, from Delpha.

The creative flair of a bathroom can be created with details… such as these fantastic lighted mirrors from Seura. New for 2009, these additions to the Lumination Collection are a focal point for your contemporary / ultra modern bathroom. Or, try the look elsewhere in the house for a surprisingly futuristic centrepiece. LED lighting means that these mirrors are customizable – you can choose from a rainbow palette of colors at any time, and also control the brightness. Turn up the intensity to make a bold statement, or turn it down for a comforting, soft nightlight effect. Likewise, you can choose from ingenious lighting effects such as the Jaxon (shown here), Tron and Aeon which all sport a pair of LED-lit stripes running up either side of the mirror. Halo, on the other hand, glows from behind the whole way round. The Big Talker mirrors deliver a cute message ‘Hello’ or ‘Wash Up’. Contact mirror specialists Seura to learn more about their lighted mirror collection.

The Ottavo and Ono faucet ranges are achingly modern stainless steel faucets from Quadro. Their distinctive technical grace has a pared-down, almost industrial edge. The Ono range is a Scandinavian triumph of paradoxes. It is at once both simple and complex… it is both straight and curved. The jutting angle of the handles is so stark, yet endlessly appealing. The Ottavo range, with its dramatic hooked spout, was ‘inspired by the natural image of a water drop’. It is motion, immortalised, and cast in stainless steel. The taps’ refined starkness will complement any modern bathroom interior. New from Quadro: the Ottavo and Ono faucet range.

An elegant, classic bathroom style collection for 2009 from Antonio Lupi. The Sartoriale bathtub, Cupola and Tuba sinks, and the Robo faucets were presented at Maison&Object 2009 in Paris – meaning these are the newest trends, as well as timeless classics! Basically, the bathroom collection centres on the outstandingly wide edge detail of the pristine white ceramic range. The Sartoriale bathtubs, Cupola sinks and Tuba sinks incorporate this wide lip effect to create an accessible and inviting range. The Cupola is available as two washstand models and also as a washbasin. The iconic matching faucets, known as ‘Robo’ are sweepingly modern with unusually flattened spouts. If you prefer, you can also opt for a direct, cylindrical spout that emerges unexpectedly from the above flattened form. Playing with the thickness of the ceramic and steel bathroom items, this range from Antonio Lupi is destined for success.
