Nature-inspired bathrooms
Bathroom brands at this year’s event have taken inspiration from the landscape, with many showcasing products in natural hues.
Look out for shades of rust, plaster, warm beige, and green, like the sage tones in this bathroom designed by Merlyn (pictured). Elsewhere, Acquabella will be displaying its Season colour palette of rose, burgundy, mint and forest.
There will also be products with natural surfaces on display, such as Acquabella’s newly launched Noon Slate bath, which has a slate-textured exterior and a practical, smooth interior.

kbb 2024 Innovation Awards
One of the highlights of the show is the Innovation Awards. These aim to highlight the most creative and ground-breaking solutions across the kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms sector.
The judging panel is comprised of industry experts and professionals, such as interior designer Kia Stanford and journalist Emma Hedges. They’ll be picking winners in the categories Best Sustainable Design and Judges’ Choice, while the People’s Choice winner will be chosen by visitors to the show.
The shortlist includes Woodio’s collection of 100% waterproof, solid wood composite washbasins, and Ca’Pietra’s Reform range of recycled stone tiles (pictured), which are made in a carbon-neutral factory.
Another genius idea up for an award is the Hidealoo, a steel mechanism that allows any standard loo to be rotated through 90 degrees, so it can be hidden inside a cabinet or cavity space.
