Always with an eye on kitchen and bath design trends, we are excited to welcome an awakened bath category — shower bases! This new generation of shower solutions offers a luxury vibe with added benefits that include accessibility for all, a waterproof shower environment and subtle hues ideal for any plumbing project. 

The look today is clean and minimalist, so it’s no surprise that the latest fixtures are in gorgeous shades of matte white! Imagine a white kitchen faucet bringing a contemporary and hygienic style to the kitchen. This roundup of new trends covers all the bases when it comes to kitchen and bath design. 

Shower Floors Re-Imagined

The new Cosmopolitan Collection from MTI Baths offers builders a chic selection of shower bases, bringing modern flair and sophistication to the bathroom. With an array of styles, sizes, textures and colors to choose from, the Cosmopolitan shower base offers an impressive level of flexibility and is a smart choice for any bathroom remodel or design plan. 

The shower bases in the Cosmopolitan Collection have a sleek and clean aesthetic with no unsightly grout lines to maintain — perfect for a minimalistic space. The bases are offered in three styles: Lado, an end drain with a uniquely curved matching end drain cover; Centrar, a center drain with unique cover; and Artesa, a covered trough end drain. 

Available with two different organic texture options and four color options: white, gray, black and sand. They feature low-profile designs with multiple thresholds for the ultimate in installation flexibility. The shallow design allows them to be neatly recessed into the floor for a seamless look. At the same time, the low-profile silhouette promotes easy entrance and exit for people of all ages and abilities.

Like all products in the Cosmopolitan Collection, the bases are crafted from cast-engineered stone, using MTI’s signature mineral composite blend of organic Dolomitic limestone. After a proprietary process, the bases are finished by hand for amazing durability and lasting beauty. The result is a nonporous surface resistant to scratches, stains, mold and mildew, and easy to clean and maintain. 

Its one-piece design is factory-installed and equipped with a tile flange for a watertight fit. The Cosmopolitan Collection also includes a high-style line of freestanding tubs and distinctive sinks to complete the ultimate en suite bathroom design.

White Haute Kitchen Faucet

Blanco’s LINUS kitchen faucet offers a minimalistic, angular design in a variety of nature-inspired hues, including new soft white, an airy dove gray influenced by organic, untreated elements. It is also offered in a wealth of additional finishes, from chrome or PVD steel to full-finish color options. The Linus low-arc kitchen faucet features a sleek, low-profile design perfect for contemporary kitchen designs or kitchen workspaces with upper cabinets with limited overhead clearance. 

The Linus features an insulated pull-out hand spray with dual selectable patterns and a 160-degree swivel for a controlled range of motion and is crafted from solid brass construction. This contemporary collection is designed to match all the brand’s SILGRANIT sink colors perfectly.

Intelligent Toilet

The new iWash CS-22 from Icera is the next level of intelligent toilets. It features an instant warm water cleansing bidet spray with adjustable temperature, a soothing air freshener and built-in deodorizer, siphonic auto flush, a warm air dryer and an automatic heated seat for the ultimate hands-free experience. 

This sleek tankless toilet has a compact elongated bowl with a skirted trap way and built-in LED in-bowl nightlight. With two customizable user settings and a wall-mounted remote control, the new iWash CS-22 is the epitome of luxury for any bath design.

Mixed Materials Create Organic Vibe

Siro’s new Wood + Die-Cast Collection offers pulls and knobs to suit any décor. Mixed materials can be a defining hardware addition from modern to coastal beach style! The juxtaposition of metal with wood offers a natural warmth and texture that helps to create a welcoming environment, adding an organic beauty to any room. Embrace the beauty of natural wood and metal with this new collection to create a space worthy of the spotlight, available exclusively through MyKnobs.com. 

The new collection includes 7-inch pulls and 3 5/8-inch knobs, offered in a light natural oak or warm walnut finish, and a choice of matte black or silver stainless die-cast caps for a truly distinctive look. Each piece is carefully crafted and meticulously finished, resulting in an extraordinary line of hardware that will elevate any design space. 

Bold and Beautiful Bath Faucet

The Mastercraft 3300 deck-mounted bath mixer from Barber Wilsons makes a definitive style statement. Made from durable, long-lasting solid brass in the heart of England, the original headworks of this collection were sketched out by Dame Bridget D’Oyle–Carte at the Barber Wilsons factory in the late 1920s. Since then, they continue to produce not an Art Deco reproduction but an original. 

The distinctive modern lines and elegant poise of the Mastercraft 3300 bath mixer are at home in both traditional and contemporary settings. Deck-mounted with pillar unions, this model comes with a cross-head or lever tap, depending on preference. The indices, finish and unions can also be customized to create the perfect version for any bath design. It is offered in 18 stunning finish options.

The exceptional fixtures and fittings highlighted here define the look of today’s on-trend homes, simplifying luxury and making it accessible for all. There are so many novel options to choose from — further proof of the endless innovations and creativity that are hallmarks of the kitchen and bath industry. We are intrigued to see what lies ahead next year and look forward to the unique new products in the coming months.
