Dulux’s Colour of the Year is a major event in the interiors world, setting the tone for trends over the next 12 months. This year’s shade, True Joy, is a vibrant yellow designed to add a bright pop of colour and a sense of optimism to your space. For those looking to incorporate this look into their bathroom, Roca’s Nu brassware in Honey Yellow is the perfect match.
Studio Inma Bermúdez, in collaboration with Roca, designed the Nu collection to bring a burst of colour and character to your bathroom. With Nu, you can either add a vibrant touch to a neutral space or go bold and let it inspire a full colour scheme – the choice is yours.
What’s more, Nu is designed to make you smile! As you tilt the handle to turn on the tap, a charming surprise is revealed: red and blue dots indicating hot and cold water form a playful smiling face. Paired with the vibrant yellow finish, the Nu ‘smile’ brings an extra dose of joy to your daily routine!
Another standout feature of Roca’s Nu collection is the wide variety of handle options available. Each handle design has its own unique personality, adding a touch of individuality to your bathroom. The Pin handle, with its thin and elongated design, evokes a sense of grace and poise, reminiscent of a bird ready to take flight. On the other hand, the Dome handle embraces a rounded and organic form, creating a soothing and inviting appeal. Meanwhile, the Stripes handle draws inspiration from the grooved knobs found on vintage stereos, adding a nostalgic charm to your taps.

During this project by NB Interiors, the master bedroom went under a transformation from smaller details such as moving the bed location over slightly to make way for wall lights and centralising this more on the wall, to a more dramatic change that had a bigger impact; the opening up of the entrance to the dressing room/wardrobe.
Prior to the updates this was a door from the bedroom into the wardrobe, to open up the area this door was fully removed and the entrance was opened up to make a wider doorway. This meant the room felt less door heavy, reducing from three to two in total in the bedroom, and brought this space more into the bedroom, it made the whole room feel bigger, allowing in more light.
With the original built in wardrobe’s removed the layout was reconfigured and new bespoke wardrobes were built in but this time also including a dressing table and window seat with shoe storage. By removing a radiator from under the window and adding in underfloor heating instead allowed storage to wrap around the room and made it possible to have a dressing table, with the bench seat under the window doubled up as shoe storage.
The colour scheme was restful, light and airy. Clean lines and minimalist style with furniture, wardrobe handles, bespoke wardrobes, bespoke headboard all created a contemporary but timeless master bedroom.
Textured wallpaper was used on the main wall and also repeated this on the wardrobe doors, a soft loop wool carpet was added, texture fabric with piping for the headboard was repeated for the bench seat cushion, plus the curtains and roman blinds were made of three different but complementary fabrics – this was to create a design feature and add more detail to the room, but also keeping the straight, minimal lines.
Attention detail features throughout the room, notably the textured finials on the curtain pole, the green floating shelves linking the sage green into the bedroom and creating a cohesive flow. The final result of this bedroom renovation meant it felt more spacious, open, lighter and tranquil.

Bathrooms are one of the most essential spaces in any home, the focal point for relaxation as well as self-care. Beyond functionality, the aesthetics and comfort of your bathroom can significantly influence your mood and daily routine. This is where choosing the right bathroom furniture becomes crucial. However, with the plethora of options available, selecting the ideal pieces can be overwhelming. In this guide, Natalie Bird, Marketing Manager of Roca UK, provides a simple three-point checklist to help you navigate the process.
To begin, it is vital to assess the available space in your bathroom. Its size and layout will determine what furniture will fit comfortably without making the room feel cramped. Start by measuring the dimensions of your bathroom, including the floor space and the height of the walls. Consider any alcoves, nooks or protruding walls that could affect the placement of furniture. Mark on a plan the toilet, shower and basin, as these are the fixed points around which furniture must fit. Doors and windows can also limit where you place furniture, so ensure there’s enough clearance for doors to open and close and that windows aren’t obstructed. Additionally, evaluate your vertical space – tall cabinets or shelving units can be a great way to add storage without taking up too much floor space.
Before choosing any pieces, it’s important to think about what you need to store and how much space you require. Start by identifying the shortcomings of your current bathroom set-up. Are your toiletries cluttered on the counter? Do you lack space for towels? Understanding these issues will guide you in selecting the right furniture. For instance, vanity units which combine a basin with storage space underneath are excellent for storing everyday items like toiletries, cleaning products and grooming tools. Roca’s Victoria-N range has a wide choice of vanity units with two or three drawers and in widths from 600mm to 1200mm.
In addition, make use of all wall space, including above the bath or toilet. Wall cabinets are perfect for storing items you don’t use daily but want within easy reach, such as medications or spare toilet paper. Also, think about shelving units, which are ideal for displaying decorative items or keeping towels handy. Finally, tall, narrow cabinets provide significant storage without taking up too much floor space – the Extra column unit coordinates with the Victoria-N range and is 1500mm high, so offers plenty of useful storage.
Storage is a highly functional element in the bathroom but that doesn’t mean it can’t also bring something to the look of the space. It’s important to focus on the aesthetics of the pieces you choose and ensure they align with the rest of the bathroom. Whether your bathroom is modern, traditional or somewhere in between, your furniture should both complement and enhance that style. Fortunately, where once bathroom furniture used to come only in timber-effect or white, there are now a whole host of colours and finishes to choose from. For example, the Victoria-N range is available in Sage Green, Light Ash and Walnut melamine, or Matt White or Onyx lacquer. Plus, the integrated handle and the furniture are the same colour for a cohesive look.
Roca’s new Victoria-N vanity unit is available with two or three drawers and in five widths: 600mm, 700mm, 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm. It pairs with the Extra column unit 1500 x 350mm and 750 x 350mm narrow-depth unit.
Weightless, powerful, refreshing: Serenity Sky from Dornbracht promises therapeutic water experiences. The new rain panel will be available with two or five flow modes from July 2024, and combines different principles in one product. Not only does this ensure complete and utter relaxation, but it also supports physical and mental wellbeing – fully in keeping with the motto “Follow Your Bliss”.
For Serenity Sky, Dornbracht worked closely together with Dr Christoph Stumpe. The head of the famous Shen Men Institute in Düsseldorf and an expert on Traditional Chinese Medicine played a vital role in developing the different flow modes. The standard variant of Serenity Sky, also available as a FlowReduce version with a reduced flow rate, includes Purify Rain and Full Rain. With Full Rain, the droplets fall gently and extensively. They fully cover the body, leaving only the face free of water. Purify Rain, on the other hand, impresses with a powerful jet of water for efficient cleansing and hair washing.
The enhanced variant, Serenity Sky+, has three additional flow modes: Laminar Flow, a concentrated and powerful jet of water that covers the skin gently and evenly. It is deeply warming but can also be used for cool Kneipp affusions to boost the metabolism and strengthen the cardiovascular system. Aquapressure Flow is used specifically for localised massaging of the shoulders and neck area. The solid and forceful water jet can help to release tension, reduce stress, and alleviate headaches. Cool Mist, on the other hand, produces a spray mist of tiny droplets that refreshes and revitalises. Thus, the rain panel from Dornbracht combines in one product principles from Kneipp therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and wellbeing research.
Other opportunities for individualisation are available in addition to the flow modes. If Serenity Sky is chosen with a light gap, different colours can be set to match the mood. Green, for instance, aids creativity, while red proves to be energetic and stimulating. The light can be controlled via any ZigBee-compliant smart home system, or by remote control. Seven finishes – from Chrome, to Champagne (22kt Gold), to Brushed Dark Platinum – also offer numerous options to seamlessly fit into any bathroom design.
Serenity Sky impresses with a compact design that can be integrated into various interior designs. The rain panel created by Sieger Design fits completely flush into the ceiling, with no obvious screw fastenings. Minimised radii and small gap widths also ensure elegance and precision. A specially curated nozzle arrangement reduces water consumption as well.
The fascinating interaction of water, light and effect produced by Serenity Sky is fully in keeping with the Dornbracht motto “Follow Your Bliss”: With its spa applications, the Iserlohn-based manufacturer invites users to integrate moments of happiness into everyday life, and substantially improve their quality of life.

While trends in bathroom design may not change as rapidly as fashion, bathroom manufacturers are still tasked with staying ahead of the curve. With this in mind, Roca presents its take on the freshest inspirations, colours, and looks for bathrooms. This is partly in response to the trends set at this year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan. Moreover, it serves as a summary of how Roca plans to incorporate these ideas in the upcoming year and beyond, especially within its new Tura collection.
The essence of the Mediterranean is making waves in bathroom design, infusing a fresh, timeless elegance into these formerly purely utilitarian spaces. This trend captures the region’s vibrant culture, rich history and stunning natural beauty, transforming everyday areas into luxurious sanctuaries of relaxation and style. This transformation is achieved, in part, through the use of natural materials that not only provide durability but also add warmth and texture, creating a welcoming environment. Mediterranean-inspired colours also play a crucial role, with shades of blue, white and terracotta reminiscent of the sparkling Mediterranean sea and its sun kissed landscapes.
Mediterranean-inspired bathrooms often feature large windows, skylights and lush house plants. This design approach blurs the line between indoors and outdoors, enhancing the sense of tranquillity and openness. This ambiance directly influenced the design of the Tura collection, which draws inspiration from how Mediterranean light filters through the shutters that shade Spanish windows. As an homage to this, wooden slatted shelves were included in the Tura furniture.
Renowned for its warm, earthy tones, terracotta is a prominent trend in modern bathroom design, offering a perfect blend of aesthetic appeal, practicality and comfort. One of the greatest strengths of terracotta is its versatility. It pairs beautifully with a wide range of colours and materials, including whites, greys, greens and natural woods, allowing homeowners to create a harmonious and cohesive look. Its warmth also helps to create an inviting and relaxing retreat – and with this in mind, Roca introduced Light Terracotta as a signature colour for the Tura bathroom furniture.
This year’s bathroom design trends are embracing soft lines and rounded shapes, marking a shift towards more organic, fluid aesthetics that promote relaxation anc harmony. Elements such as oval mirrors and circular basins are integral to this trend, as they reduce the harshness often associated with modern, angular designs. The freestanding bath in the Tura collection is a good example, as its softly curved shape creates a generous and comfortable interior.
Incorporating curves can also create the illusion of more space. Unlike sharp angles that result in visual barriers, curved lines guide the eye smoothly around the room, enhancing the perception of space, which is particularly beneficial in smaller bathrooms. Furthermore, the biophilic design trend, which seeks to connect interior spaces with the natural environment, also drives the popularity of curves. Nature rarely features straight lines, and by incorporating organic shapes, designers create spaces that feel more natural and inviting.
In a world where stress is omnipresent, neutral colours help create a spa-like, tranquil atmosphere in the bathroom. Shades such as soft whites, warm greys and gentle beiges promote relaxation and a sense of well-being. In addition to Light Terracotta, the Tura furniture is available in calming shades of Off-White and Light Noble Grey.
Neutral colours also provide a versatile backdrop in the bathroom, enabling homeowners to update accessories and fixtures without affecting the overall colour scheme. This adaptability is especially appealing to those who frequently refresh their decor. The Tura collection accessories exemplify this trend, as their neutral colours derive from their natural composition – recycled felt storage boxes and recycled cork lids, which also function as basin shelves.
Roca’s Tura collection is available now and comprises a Stonex® freestanding bath; ceramic basins, WCs and bidets, available in Gloss White, Supraglaze® White and Matt White finishes; and furniture in Off-White, Light Noble Grey and Light Terracotta.
