10 bathroom innovations to splash out on

Your bathroom design should take into account all the needs of those who will be using it, and the products and fittings you kit it out with should all work towards creating a room that runs smoothly, feels like a restorative place to spend time in and is easy to maintain.

From products that reduce the chances of mould to high-tech appliances designed to save water, the majority of the latest innovations are focused on saving homeowners time and money. These products not only look great, but are also practical and mindful of the strong desire most of us have to save energy and water.

Many of the most recent launches in the bathroom sphere also focus on convenience — for example, cutting down on cleaning. That said, there is always space for a little luxury when it comes to the bathroom — it should feel like somewhere to relax and unwind, not just behave like a functional space. With that in mind, we have included some more indulgent products, too, designed to help with minimising stress levels and boosting a sense of wellbeing.
