Is This the Bathroom of the Future?

Smart home innovation has now reached bathroom design, and with it comes a wave of modern technology that is transforming the way we use this space. So, if you’ve always dreamt of a five-star, hotel-grade bathroom, or you aspire to a unique place of wellbeing in your own home, then these latest products will help you achieve your goals.

We approached the experts at Grohe to show us how high-tech innovation is taking bathroom design to the next level. From customised showering to finishes that will suit your personal style, it’s time to transform your bathroom into a space that’s all about you.

Shower With Love

If you’ve ever experienced a boutique hotel room or a luxurious day spa, you’re likely to have enjoyed an invigorating rainfall shower. Well, now you can personalise your home showering routine with SmartControl, which features push- and turn technology with integrated volume control and up to three different shower functions on one small plate, with the clever Rapido SmartBox technology, which is concealed behind it. These combined technologies allow you to create individual showering experiences by offering a choice of shower sprays and different water pressures.

Thanks to the clear symbols on the buttons of the control plate, operating them is simple and intuitive, while the memory function will save your showering preferences for next time.

Save space in the shower.Choose a slimline shower panel plate to max out on precious space. The thermostats pictured have a total outreach of only 43 millimetres from the wall, leaving plenty more room for a long and luxe soak.

Royal Flush

For a more hygienic and comforting way of cleansing, look to Grohe’s new Sensia Arena shower toilet for inspiration. Every design detail has been carefully considered to offer a new level of cleanliness, including a germ-resistant coating.

What’s more, this innovative design includes functions such as fully adjustable sprays for ease and convenience, odour absorption and an air dryer for personal comfort, plus a night light to avoid disturbing other sleepers.

Use the app for customised settings. Make the most of this smart technology by connecting it to your smart phone. Via the app, you can manage the settings of the toilet to suit you, from the water pressure to the temperature. You can even open and close the lid from the app –the ultimate in hygiene.

Seamless Design

If you’re concerned that all this talk of technology in the bathroom could disrupt the ambience and tranquillity of your personal spa space, don’t fret. Bathroom designers are developing neatly hidden tech that allows you to plan your bathroom to suit your style, so you don’t have to worry about unsightly tech boxes everywhere.

Choose technology that is slimline and that it doesn’t intrude on any shower space, which is perfect if your enclosure is on the small side.

Match the finishes for cohesion. Don’t miss a chance to inject your personality and style into your bathroom schemes. Personalise your bathroom’s finishes, from the flush plate to taps, in your favourite colours and materials for a unique and individual look.

Eco Smarts

We all need to do our bit for the environment and if you could have a bathroom that saved water, wouldn’t you choose the necessary tech to help? With programmable shower and toilet settings that can be set to your choice, you can decide how much water you’re using.

Then, of course, there are baths. We all know how restful it is to soak away the day in a full tub, but do you really need one at all? They use much more water than a shower, and you can experience the same level of relaxation under a luxurious rainfall drench that’s set to your personal water pressure and temperature. Maybe it’s time to ditch the tub after all?

Use smart technology to keep track of what you’re using. With new smart technology, you can not only track your water consumption so you don’t use too much, but you can also detect leaks before disaster strikes. So your bathroom can look great, suit your needs to a tee, and be hassle-free!
