Bulletin News
A radiator can be a focal point in your bathroom, especially if it is centrally located to heat the space and serve as a towel warmer. The Malva bathroom radiator from Vasco is constructed from high-grade laser-cut steel and available in chrome, stainless steel or lacquered finishes in a wide range of colours. All the welds are completely invisible, which gives this practical and stylish piece a seamless appearance. Malva measures H74.4-168.9xW4575xD4.2cm, with prices starting from £389.

Bathing beauty
If you’re looking for a freestanding bath in a contemporary style, then the Deauville tub
(H64xW175xD80cm), £1,899.99, from Victoria + Albert will fit the bill. This modern reinterpretation of the classic style has simple wooden feet in mahogany or oak. The bath itself is Quarrycast, a volcanic limestone resin, which is warm to the touch and easy to polish if scratched. (01952 221 100; vandabaths.com)
Simple style Evol is a new single-lever tap series from Roca. The pared-back design is inspired by natural water springs and creates a waterfall effect. The range includes a basin mixer with pop-up waste (from £480), extended basin mixer with pop-up waste (from £623), built-in basin mixer (from £558) and wall-mounted bath-shower mixer (from £740). The basin mixers are equipped with a flow regulator to 6L per minute (at 3 bar pressure), to help water conservation. (01530 830 080; roca.com)
INSTANT UPDATE
If you are thinking about renovating your shower room or en suite, then take inspiration from this stunning renovation by design and build company Temple Complete. It has cleverly remodelled a tired, dated bathroom and created a vibrant twenty-first-century wet room complete with underfloor heating. The job included strengthening and insulating the floor, tanking the walls and fitting a new fibreglass roof with a frameless rooflight window. We love the striking orange tiles from Via Arkadia (30x10cm) which add a shot of colour to the shower area. Fittings include the Bauhaus Touch 50 basin (H16xW50xD48cm), £390, Status basin monobloc, £215 and Contour showerhead (Dia35cm), £499 plus shower handset, £105 and Simpsons shower screen (H200xW30120xD1cm), from £460, all Crosswater. Build cost from £15,000. Temple Complete (07702 402 983; templecomplete.co.uk); Via Arkadia (020 7351 7057; via-arkadia.co. uk); Crosswater (0845 873 8840; crosswater.co.uk)
