Kitchen Zip - Modern Bathroom Design

From the Kitchen to the Bathroom

The common concept of contemporary mixing traditional and new styles has evolved into an almost purely commercial and industrial influenced style.

The focus on modern and industrial style isn't just limited to the kitchen. We have seen a dramatic increase in people wanting to bring that clean, sleek, minimal aesthetic to their bathroom spaces, as well. Their has been a trend toward rectangular and square bathroom vanity sinks as well as using granite as the counter top surface. Also vessel sinks or above counter sinks are making a big comeback, naturally what was old is new and has been reinvented in a modernist manner. Where grouted tile used to be the common material used in bathrooms, we're now seeing more of  a push towards the surfaces, materials and finishes that are prevalent in the rest of the home.

for a wide range of traditional, contemporary, and modern bathroom sinks and faucets.

 Modern lines and angles are the the latest trend in kitchen and bathroom design. Soft edges or rounded corners are out and sharp 90 degree corners with straight lines and clean finishes are in.

 Over counter sinks, vessel sinks and pedestal faucets have been trending up and look to take up a prominent amount of market share in the next few seasons.

The move away from chrome finish has been cycling heavily and now, even in the bathroom, we have seen an increase in the demand for stainless steel and brushed nickel finishes.

 New Innovations = New Possibilities

The digital world has taken over our lives in so many ways in the kitchen won't be forgotten. Up until now the most technology in any kitchen faucet what they need the surface and not visible to the common consumer now companies such as KWC offer electronic faucets quick touch on and off as well as remote control. 

The concept of not having to touch the faucet has also been pioneered were you simply wave your hand near it and a faucet turns on and off. Luxuries such as these are becoming more and more common and the concept behind it is not just novelty but one of functionality. If one's hands have raw chicken on them touching the faucet can transfer the bacteria to the faucet and potentially cause an unhealthy cross contamination. Touch on and no touch on faucets help eliminate this possibility.

KWC is one of the major brands that has pioneered some of these new electronic features we are now seeing in many different faucet brands. KWC is a Swiss design division that specializes in kitchen and bathroom products. Their ONO Touch series of faucets offer remote control and one touch operation.
