Black - very popular due to its ability to pair so well with other current design and style trends. The use of natural materials like timber and stone in bathrooms has also been growing, and black tapware and accessories complement these beautifully.
Metal - creates a strong look in bathrooms, with warmer tones such as copper, gold and bronze being utilised as eye-catching features. "These metals can be used through tapware to even hairdryer holders, and suggest a touch of luxury against the industrial theme," he said.
