Game, set and match: the great white bathroom debate
27th June 2022
With the start of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, comes an intense, drama-filled fortnight of lawn tennis. Wimbledon is the most prestigious tournament in the world, fuelled by its rich history, traditions, and customs. The images of Wimbledon are both distinct and familiar: strawberries and cream, Pimm’s, royal spectators, and the radiant white of the players’ dress; white chosen for its ability to hide the players’ sweat from the Victorian audience.
White remains synonymous with being clean, fresh, and crisp which is why white is so popular for bathroom sanitaryware. If you are updating your bathroom and want a modern bathroom design, it’s likely you have had the debate of whether to go for white or coloured bathroom ware.
It’s an age-old discussion, but as purveyors of high-end bathroom products, The Luxury Bathroom Company can confirm that while white bathroom products are a traditional way to renovate a bathroom, they are certainly not old-fashioned, and here’s why not:
Contemporary freestanding bath and basin designs
The constraints of traditional bathroom materials are a thing of the past due to the research and development of Geokarst. Geokarst is an innovative blend of limestone and resin that provides new design capabilities without compromising the quality or the natural properties of stone.
Contemporary, yet classic and timeless designs for your bathroom. From the statuesque Larkin to the compact and bijou Jopling freestanding bath; from the low-profile Barker round stone basin through to the slimline walls and geometry of the Bomberg luxury bathroom sink, the diversity of the designs opens the door to creative freedom.
High impact bathroom designs
Our luxury freestanding natural stone baths and basins are made from Geokarst material. With uniform colour and signature quality, you can mix and match across the collection without the worry or risk of the products not co-ordinating – an unparalleled opportunity to achieve a bathroom that meets your unique requirements.
Pristine luxury white bathroom suites are highly sought after, in part due to how easy it is to add interest using the freestanding stone baths and basins as the foundation. One of the most contemporary ways to add impact to white bathroom ideas is through the brassware detail – modern taps, external plumbing, and showers.
Using contrasting colour in a white bathroom really adds character to the bathroom space. The linear detail of matt black brassware creates a monochrome industrial edge, whereas brushed brass adds instant glamour and style. The transformative power of brassware cannot be underestimated.
White for enriching space
The average British bathroom has the same floor area of a king-sized double bed, which means every trick in the book needs to be used to give the illusion of space and make it feel big, light and airy.
White is revered for reflecting light, but The Luxury Bath Company takes it to the next level with all designs available in modern polished gloss white freestanding baths and basins – the ultimate contemporary update to standard white bathroom products.
Ambiance enhancing
Creating the right ambiance is king. Rather than a clinical white space, your luxury bathroom needs to be a place of nurture and relaxation, a sanctuary to experience pure indulgence – to run a healing bath and shut the world away.
Using combinations of materials, textures and other colour bathroom accessories adds an extra dimension to a white bathroom scheme. The warm tactile nature of the Geokarst and the ergonomic designs work in perfect harmony to achieve a genuinely soothing bathing experience, the epitome of contemporary style.
The Luxury Bath Company consider our white bathroom products to be akin to a blank canvas. Mix design styles together, enjoy the textures, and love the natural elements of our stone resin creations, break from the traditional and embrace The Art of Bathing ®.
