With a vast array of choice, tapware has been elevated from a functional must-have to an opportunity to add major style factor. Sexy black tapware has been a steady trend for some time now and shows no signs of slowing down. It makes a stylish and confident statement that is contemporary yet classic. Paired with white bathware to create a monochromatic room the contrast is striking and sculptural. Soften the contrast by combining with warm metallics such as copper and brass and the balance of timber tones. It will accentuate the veins in marble for a sophisticated look and works equally well with raw industrial elements of concrete and burnished metals. So, will it date? In my opinion, if it relates well to the other elements in the room, black has timeless style.

Marble has been trending for quite some time and is loved for adding a touch of luxury and sophistication to interior spaces. With increasing variations in shapes, patterns and colours available plus look alike materials offering budget friendly options, the popularity of marble looks set to continue. It lends itself to a multitude of uses – splash backs, bench tops, feature walls, furniture and flooring – and the natural clean elements of marble combine so well with other materials and colours. Think black cabinetry and accessories, metallic accents of gold, copper and brass and warmed up with wood furniture.

Velvet is a classic in interior design however colour becomes a key factor in modernising the look.
