Need some bathroom Inspiration?

2021 was the year of getting stuff done around the house and bathroom renovation projects were at the top of a lot of people’s lists. From updating existing bathroom designs and freshening them up with new vanities and furniture to complete remodels, we’ve seen it all this year and it was a busy year for the whole team despite the lockdowns and all the challenges of getting our products out to customers up and down the country.

Whilst we welcomed plenty of people through the doors of our showrooms, a lot of people choose to browse our extensive product range online first and it was a huge year for website visits, with New Zealanders spending more time online than ever before. From bathroom design inspiration to finding the perfect products, people visited our website in their thousands in 2021. We did an analysis of the most visited product pages on the website to show you the most popular bathroom items that people were searching for in 2021 and perhaps provide a little bit of inspiration if you are planning a bathroom redesign or installation in 2022.

From freestanding baths to beautiful showers to the practical toilet – people were looking at every bathroom item in 2021 but rimless toilets were certainly one of the most popular.  We hopefully also provided some inspiration for those with a smaller bathroom, proving that you don’t need a massive bathroom in order to add plenty of amazing touches and beautiful bathroom furniture.

So, let’s take a look at our top five most visited products of 2021 and give you some bathroom inspiration to kick off the New Year.

1.      Elementi Uno Back to Wall Toilet Suite

It seems that toilets were the most popular bathroom upgrade in 2021, with the top three spots in our list taken up by toilets. The most popular of those was the Elementi Uno Back to Wall Toilet Suite. Rimless toilets are fast becoming a “must-have” for any new bathroom design. They are easier to clean and more hygienic than traditional toilet design and the Elementi Uno is one of our most popular rimless toilets.
