Highlights from Milan Design Week 2023

Highlights from Milan Design Week 2023 Last Week, Team Kallums travelled to Italy for the world’s largest annual design event, Milan Design Week 2023! Every year designers, architects, and many other industry professionals travel to Milan to discover the latest innovations and design trends by visiting the endless events, exhibitions and installations on offer across the city. And of course, Team Kallums were no exception! Together, we explored the beautiful city of Milan to uncover the best new bathroom design trends and innovations, as well as catching up with many of the wonderful bathroom brands we supply. Gessi Haute Culture Collections One of the highlights of our trip was visiting one of our favourite luxury bathroom brands, Gessi! During Milan Design Week 2023, Gessi were showcasing their incredible new Haute Culture collections at Salone Del Mobile and at Casa Gessi Milano. The Kallums team were completely mesmerised by this stunning new collection, which features two stunning product ranges. Gessi describes The Haute Culture Collection as “recovering, renewing, and experimenting with all the skills and craftsmanship typical of the Italian way of life, in order to protect this culture, which is otherwise in danger of fading out, and to take it to the next level.” PERLE Previous Next *Photo Credit – Gessi The PERLE collection is undoubtedly a favourite for team Kallums! And one of the most exciting, innovative, and versatile collections we have come across. Designed with the characteristics and values of Jewellery – PERLE is the epitome of excellence, elegance, and refinement. This collection was inspired by the pearl, one of the most perfect and rare shapes within nature. The perfect sphere shape of the pearl inspired the creation and craftmanship of these exquisite handles. Harmoniously balanced with the sculptural shape of the tap, which interacts with the pearl shaped handle seamlessly. PERLE’s extensive collection is a tactile and aesthetic pleasure, which is guaranteed to be the focal point of any luxurious bathroom design that it graces. This outstanding collection was showcased in a vast array of finishes, combinations, and sizes. We also discovered that the beautiful pearl handles are available in metal, wooden, Murano glass, semi-precious materials, and synthetic styles. JACQUELINE Previous Next *Photo Credit – Gessi JACQUELINE is a truly unique and innovative collection. Boasting exclusivity and a luxurious, surprising personality, just as an haute couture accessory. Made from a material prevalent in nature but never before applied to bathroom taps – Bamboo! Hollow bamboo roots are individually selected and adapted with the utmost naturalness in order to create these beautifully unique, hand-crafted taps and mixers. The JACQUELINE collection will allow for the creation of fascinating, bespoke bathroom designs. Despite JACQUELINE’s striking one-of-a-kind designs, it also offers a surprisingly comfortable and natural ambience that’s perfectly harmonised with its luxurious, high-end appeal. Luxurious Italian Bathroom Brands Previous Next Whilst exploring the city to see everything Milan Design Week 2023 had to offer, Team Kallums took the time to visit some of our other incredible Italian bathroom brands that we supply.

Prioritise Wellness With A Spa Bathroom

Prioritise Wellness With A Spa Bathroom Each year, on April 7th, we celebrate World Health Day. This day marks the anniversary of when the World Health Organisation was formed, also commonly referred to as WHO. Every World Health Day helps create awareness for a specific health concern as well as drawing focus on how important it is to always prioritise your health and wellbeing. For World Health Day 2023, the theme focuses on our journey of achieving health for all. Plus, it marks the 75th anniversary that WHO was founded. WHO’s 75th anniversary is an opportunity to look back over the last seven decades and recognise the public health achievements that have improved quality of life. Also, it offers continued motivation on the journey of achieving health for all. Improve Your Health With A Spa Inspired Bathroom Whilst this may come as a surprise to some, a bathroom can actually be a great tool to help improve your personal health and wellness. A luxury bathroom can be a place of solitude rather than just a space for personal hygiene. It can become a place to relax and unwind after a stressful day. In this modern, fast-paced, world we now live in – having a tranquil space that promotes relaxation has never been more important. Everyone experiences stress at certain times, but sadly it’s becoming a much more frequent issue for many people. Regular exposure to stress can be very damaging to our mental and physical health. Therefore, it’s important to find ways to combat regular stress, and to create and practice regular self-care rituals. Relaxation is personal and looks different to everyone, so it’s important to discover what works best for you. A spa inspired bathroom designed with wellness in mind can be a great option. We believe everyone deserves a private space where they can spend time on their own and escape the stresses of modern-day life; and we also believe that a luxury spa like bathroom can be the perfect way to achieve this. Below, our dedicated bathroom experts advise the easiest ways to create a spa bathroom in your own home, to help you plan a bathroom renovation designed around your personal wellness priorities. Contact Us Spa Bathroom Ideas Planning a bathroom renovation? Why not create a luxury bathroom design that feels like your own private spa! Create a space that not only looks good but can help you feel good inside and out. Read our spa bathroom recommendations below to help you create a tranquil sanctuary that offers solitude and pure relaxation. Mood Lighting One of the easiest things to incorporate into your bathroom renovation, and arguably one of the most important, is mood lighting. Creating a relaxing ambience for a spa bathroom is key – and if you have harsh lighting that can’t be adjusted, it can really ruin the mood and make it difficult to relax. However, you also want to ensure you have good lighting for other tasks typically carried out in a bathroom, such as shaving or apply make-up etc. A layered lighting plan can help you achieve a balanced, well-lit space by using multiple lighting types. Combining task lighting and ambient lighting allows you to create a spa-like bathroom design that still offers excellent functionality and usability. Relaxing Bathroom Décor Another important aspect of creating a spa-inspired bathroom design is the bathroom décor. Choosing the right colour scheme can make or break your bathroom design, particularly for a spa bathroom. Colours can have a powerful effect on a person’s mood, so you want to pick colours that promote feelings of calm and relaxation. Spa’s typically use natural, earthy colours that feel peaceful yet luxurious. We feel you can’t go wrong with an earthy colour scheme in your bathroom design. You can also elevate this further by using more natural materials throughout your space. Such as bamboo bathroom accessories, natural stone tiles, and lots of plants and greenery. One of our favourite design options is a wood-effect vanity unit paired with wood-effect tiles. Steam Shower It’s common knowledge that regular use of a steam room (or steam bath) can have great health benefits. Such as lowering blood pressure, aiding with congestion, and soothing sore muscles. Many people also find it a very relaxing experience. The good news is it’s easy to enjoy this in your own home, with a steam shower. If space allows, we also highly recommend installing a large bench so you can lay down and truly unwind in your steam shower. Elevate the experience further by using your favourite aromatherapy oils. Whirlpool Bath If space and budget allow, a whirlpool bath makes a luxurious addition to a spa bathroom. Powerful jets offer an invigorating massage for a truly relaxing experience. Regular use helps with muscle recovery and improving blood circulation. Alternatively, a large freestanding bath can also provide a sumptuous experience. If baths are not to your liking, or your restricted on space, consider adding body jets to your shower for a similar relaxing experience.

Designer Bathroom Tiles – Top Tile Trends 2025

The Colours You Should Be Incorporating into Your Bathroom Renovation 14 April 2025 When it comes to designing a luxury bathroom, choosing the right colour palette is key to creating a sophisticated and timeless space. At Kallums Bathrooms, we specialise in high-end, bespoke bathroom designs, helping homeowners across Surrey and London craft spaces that exude elegance and luxury. Here are the top colours to consider for your bathroom renovation: Soft Neutrals: Warm Greys, Taupes, and Beiges Soft neutrals are the foundation of a serene and refined bathroom. Warm greys, taupes, and soft beiges provide a sophisticated backdrop that allows other design elements to shine. These timeless shades bring an understated elegance to any space, offering versatility while maintaining a sense of calm. These hues work beautifully in both contemporary and classic bathroom styles, making them perfect for homeowners seeking a timeless, tranquil retreat. Navy and Deep Sapphire Blues If you’re looking to add depth and drama, navy and deep sapphire tones are perfect for a luxurious bathroom. These rich, bold shades work exceptionally well on cabinetry, accent walls, or tile details, creating a striking yet calming environment. The darker tones evoke a sense of grandeur, while still feeling relaxed and sophisticated—ideal for creating a statement in your bathroom without overwhelming the senses. Nature-Inspired Greens Green tones—especially deep emeralds and forest greens—bring a nature-inspired vibe to your bathroom. These colours evoke balance, tranquility, and a sense of calm, perfect for creating a spa-like atmosphere at home. When paired with gold or brass fixtures, these shades can elevate the space to new levels of opulence, offering a refined, earthy elegance. Consider incorporating deep green tiles, walls, or accessories for a truly luxurious, nature-infused experience. Crisp White and Marble Classic white bathrooms are forever chic. When paired with marble textures and subtle metallic accents, white creates a fresh, airy, and light-filled space. A clean, white backdrop not only enhances the brightness of the room but also complements a wide range of styles and fixtures. Whether you opt for a full marble look or subtle white tiles with marble inlays, this colour scheme brings an air of sophistication and timeless beauty to any bathroom. Warm Terracotta and Clay Tones For those seeking a unique and earthy feel, terracotta and clay tones introduce Mediterranean charm and warmth. These colours create a grounded, inviting atmosphere and can bring depth and texture to your bathroom. Terracotta tiles, clay sinks, or accent pieces paired with natural stone or wood elements enhance the rustic, luxurious ambiance. This palette is perfect for those who want their bathroom to feel like a luxurious escape with a touch of warmth and character. Striking Black Accents Black fixtures, cabinetry, and tiles are becoming increasingly popular in luxury bathroom design. This dramatic colour creates striking contrasts that enhance the overall aesthetic. Black accents add modern sophistication and a sleek, high-end look to any bathroom. Whether it’s black-framed mirrors, matte black faucets, or a statement black tile wall, this bold choice brings an element of luxury and refinement that feels contemporary and timeless. Tailoring Colour to Your Vision At Kallums Bathrooms, we understand that every homeowner’s vision is unique. The right colour palette can transform your bathroom into a personalised sanctuary that reflects your taste and lifestyle. Whether you’re updating a traditional home in Guildford or designing a modern space in London, our expert team will help you select the perfect shades that elevate the luxury and functionality of your bathroom. Contact us today to start your bathroom renovation journey. We’ll help you bring your dream space to life with a colour palette that balances elegance, sophistication, and timeless beauty.

Luxury Bathroom Renovation Chiswick

Luxury Bathroom Renovation Chiswick Are you thinking about a new bathroom design or full renovation in Chiswick? Our expert contracts team at Kallums recently delivered four beautifully designed luxury bathrooms for a residential property in Chiswick, London, offering a fully managed service that included design, supply, and installation. The project involved two cloakrooms, a family bathroom, and a master bathroom, all tailored to the client’s desire for modern, on-trend spaces. While the family bathroom and one cloakroom simply needed a stylish refresh with marble tiles, sleek vanity units, LED lighting, and a walk-in shower, the master bathroom required a complete redesign to improve its inefficient layout and tackle the challenge of sloped ceilings. Our team maximised space by cleverly positioning the toilet and creating a spacious wet room shower area, paired with a freestanding bath under a large window for a relaxing focal point. Elegant touches like brushed brass fittings, a dark grey double vanity unit, and seamless tile finishes added warmth and sophistication throughout. Even the unused ground floor cloakroom was transformed from a storage area into a fully functioning and beautifully finished bathroom. Premium products from trusted brands such as JTP, Waters Baths, IdeaGroup, Flaminia, and Stone & Ceramic Tiles were used across all spaces, ensuring long-lasting quality and style. This project is a perfect example of how a fully managed bathroom renovation service can transform tired spaces into functional, modern sanctuaries.
