For the ultimate modern industrial bathroom, then consider a Crittall styled shower enclosure, their graphic grid-like charm is edgy and on trend. It was back in 1860 that Francis Henry Crittall, (an ironmonger from Essex), first created steel-framed windows, and this metal framing style is used in shower screens such as the Matki One Framed Effect Wet
Room Panel.
Indeed, the bathroom generally lends itself nicely to some of the key features of the industrial look, such as basic white, metal finishes, exposed piping and the use of industrial classics including marble, porcelain and concrete which can be used for either walls or as flooring.
When it comes to choosing your basin the award winning VitrA Water Jewels range offers fabulous colour options and 3 different looks, from warm metallic Gold or Copper or the cooler silver Platinum finish. These can be matched perfectly with the taps also from VitrA.
If your new bathroom is large enough for a freestanding bath than then this certainly helps to build the look. Try the Victoria + Albert Edge, its rectangular shape will complement your industrial style room and, with a variety of finishes to choose from, it is made from ground-down volcanic limestone, mixed with a specialised resin to ensure a durable and strong product that will last you for years.
Creating an industrial styled bathroom is all about mixing clean, crisp lines with rustic finishes, keeping accents minimal so that your industrial elements have room to shine, using natural elements -whether that’s exposed plumbing or the metal frame of your shower doors.
