Bathroom design Inspiration

Bathroom ideas are at the heart of what we do here at Robertson. Our Consultants to Architects Designers are constantly striving to give sound advice and guidance throughout the specification process; from early planning through the tendering phases, installation stage and post project maintenance. We sat down with Architectural Consultant Kirsten Robertson to ask her about the latest trends in the bathware industry.

What products are you loving at the moment?

I’m loving the MedaMeda range by Zucchetti at the moment. Most of my high end jobs are selecting this range. Its like nothing we have had for a while. Its not too modern, not too classic, very elegant tapware but with a point of difference! Its uniquely beautiful!

What trend in the market are you excited by?

I do love working with designers to create a Powder Room with wow factor! There is a trend in the market to do something extra in a Guest or Powder Room. Lots of gun metal tapware with moody coloured basins and they are pairing these with some pretty gorgeous tiles on stone or marble. Its where the client doesn’t mind doing something a bit different!

What do you enjoy most about working at Robertson Bathware?

I have always been very inspired by our wonderful suppliers overseas. Our agencies that we import from. Some of these companies are world renown brands. Hearing from them about the stories behind their designs, learning about their function and form. I feel proud to represent these amazing products in New Zealand. 

Seeing and hearing what projects we are involved in is definitely a highlight too. We have done many interesting projects, from Hotels, Resorts, Restaurants, Gymnasiums, Retirement Villages to beautiful beach houses and even the odd home on Grand Designs. It’s exciting to see where our products end up!

Where’s your favourite summer holiday hot spot?

Ding Bay, It’s our little slice of paradise. Very much looking forward to Christmas at the beach this year!
