The Show's Appeal in Tough Times

Finding the funds to actually invest in any of the designs and ideas in reality might be a stretch too far at the moment. However, the show continues to draw crowds seeking inspiration and new ideas for their homes.

Economic Impact

With the recession in full swing, many visitors are attending for inspiration rather than immediate purchases, making it a perfect time to gather ideas for future projects.

Cubist Bathroom Innovation

As you would expect there are a number of bathroom designs on show here too this year. Several companies have taken the chance to show off their wares, including Victorian Bathrooms. One of the bathroom styles they have decided to promote is the cubist style range.

Cubist Design Features
  • Geometric shapes
  • Modern aesthetic
  • Practical functionality
  • Unique appearance
Complete Suite Options
  • Toilet designs
  • Bath styles
  • Matching accessories
  • Cohesive look
Design Innovation

Slightly different and slightly unusual, it is also enormously practical. And we aren't just talking about cabinets here either. You can buy a whole bathroom suite where the toilet, the bath and everything else is cubist in appearance as well.

Victorian Bathrooms Competition

Making a Statement

The question is really whether people go to the show to imagine what they could do if they had the money. These aren't your basic bathroom cabinets and accessories. This is all about making a statement and having a bathroom that is truly different.

Design Philosophy

Whether it will catch on and become popular or not is another matter, but for those wanting something a little more forward thinking, it is bound to catch the eye.

Budget-Friendly Inspiration

It can be nice to dream though. And it is easy enough to see the set ups at the Ideal Home Show and then go home and use some of the ideas in a different way. You don't always have to have a huge budget to enjoy taking advantage of some of the advanced ideas and products these bathroom companies have.

Smart Approach

In fact it can be a good push to get you to take a fresh look at your own bathroom. Is there anything you could do to change what you have now? Are you happy with it? Could you enhance it in some way without shelling out five thousand pounds in the process?

The Future of Bathroom Design

Often the answer is yes. But it is still good fun to go and see what could turn out to be the bathrooms of the future. In fact the more futuristic some of them are the more exciting the show will be.
