FIVE TRENDS FROM CALYPSO BATHROOMS SPRING 2024 LAUNCH

Calypso Bathrooms , leading premium British bathroom furniture brand , proudly launches its highly anticipated spring collection for 2024 . Expanding upon the brand ’ s already extensive offerings , the launch provides design-led homeowners with an even broader selection of high-quality , trend-led bathroom furniture solutions .
The launch brings texture to the forefront of bathroom design with the introduction of the horizontally fluted Petra , and Levanto Fluted vanity collections . The launch also includes three brand new LED mirrors , Adria , Andrina , and Ostra , which play with shape , and a carefully curated array of new furniture , finishes , brassware , ceramics , and hardware , seamlessly blending traditional style with modern functionality .
Charlotte Tilby , Head of Marketing at Calypso Bathrooms , provides valuable insights into five key trends and products from the latest collection .
1 . Wonderful Woodgrains The desire for spa like bathrooms has been rapidly growing in recent years with homeowners opting for natural woodgrain finishes , and gentle , rounded lines in bathroom design . This shift has also seen an increasing demand for texture in bathroom furniture such as fluted and slatted wood .
Calypso ’ s new Petra vanity collection offers mid-century sophistication with modern elegance and is available as wallhung vanity units in two sizes and a matching fluted Tall Wall Unit , available in Coral White , Tortona Oak , and Persian Walnut finishes . The Levanto wave-fronted vanity range also receives a modern update , now available in new layout configurations and finishes with a fluted front design that further enhances the appeal of this popular range .
2 . Seamless Spaces Increasingly , the boundaries between bath , bed , and dressing spaces are blurring , akin to the open-plan concept seen in kitchen , dining , and living areas . As such , cohesive matching furniture across the home has driven demand for a wider array of colour options and finishes in the bathroom than ever before . Think matching your three-piece en-suite to your chest of drawers or wardrobe to create a feeling of expansion and connection throughout the more restful areas of your home .
Earthy greens and aquatic blues take the spotlight alongside softer cashmeres and neutrals with pink undertones . Matte finishes have also gained popularity for their tactile , light-diffusing properties , fostering a gentle ambience .
3 . Mirror , Mirror Accessories play a crucial role in transforming a space , such as strategically positioning mirrors to enhance lighting and create a more inviting atmosphere . Modern LED mirrors have become the goto-choice amongst homeowners , as they are fantastic at enriching bathroom spaces with soft , ambient lighting and making compact spaces seem more spacious .
Calypso introduces three new LED Mirror ranges , available in a variety of sizes . Each mirror comes equipped with energy-efficient demister pads , ensuring a fog-free experience . These mirrors feature adaptive lighting options , allowing for effortless adjustment of LED brightness and temperature to create the perfect ambience , blending functionality with style .
4 . Modern Heritage Homeowners prefer lasting investments over frequent changes , focusing on durable , timeless designs . While paint and decor updates are simple , thoughtful selection of fittings is crucial , especially in less reversible areas like bathrooms . This trend involves updating traditional items with modern colours or finishes , especially in brassware , where alternatives compete with traditional chrome . These finishes subtly modernise bathrooms , even in heritage-style spaces .
5 . Do-able Updates There has been a notable increase in demand for ‘ partial refurbs ’ over full bathroom redesigns in recent times , with homeowners favouring accessible , simple , updates that cause minimal disruption and create more space in even the most compact of bathrooms . Updating the vanity , adding a mirror , or simply swapping out hardware have become popular solutions , offering a significant transformation without the need for extensive renovations . Within the launch , Calypso provide an array of space-saving product designs that enhance style and functionality while optimising space .
