What’s trending in the bathroom and kitchen industry?

Leeds-based surface material supplier CDUK shares a selection of the kitchen trends that have inspired their portfolio of surfaces and complementary products.

As we begin decorating our homes for Christmas, we can't help but think about the coming year and the design trends it will bring. With over four decades of experience and using market intelligence, CDUK continues to evolve its surface and product portfolio to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers. From solid surfaces, including Corian® Solid Surface, M|R Walls, Polygood®, and PaperStone®, to sinks, taps, and troughs from The 1810 Company, all the products are available in a wide range of finishes to suit every style.

Statement Shower Panels

Corian® Cosmos Prima - Corian® Dune Prima

Long gone are the days of white, prefab shower boxes. There is nothing like a statement shower panel to elevate any bathroom experience. The CDUK surface portfolio delivers hygienic and beautiful solutions from the Corian® Solid Surface and Polygood® ranges.

Corian® Solid Surface, the composite material made from a blend of natural minerals and pure acrylic polymer, is non-porous, easy to clean and can be joined seamlessly to deliver hygiene in wet rooms and a market leading solution for seamless vanity tops. Corian® Solid Surface provides designers the freedom to experiment with luminosity and form, as it can be thermoformed, engraved, or backlit. Polygood® is made from 100% recycled and 100% recyclable plastic. The material is popular for bathrooms as it is suitable for both vertical and horizontal applications and comes in a core range of modern patterns, many of which are vibrant, fun colours.

Copper Accents

Copper continues to inspire kitchen designs, but with a twist. If the material was once used by designers to add an industrial vibe, it has now polished itself up to become suitable for the most luxurious spaces. The CDUK range of products from The 1810 Company includes AXIX sinks, Henry Holt taps, and troughs that can be integrated into Corian® Solid Surface and PaperStone® worktops, all available in a Copper finish.

Textured and Tactile Surfaces

PaperStone® Graphite - PaperStone® Gunmetal

Textured surfaces have made their way from the living room into the kitchen and bathroom, as customers seek a deeper connection with nature indoors. PaperStone® – made from recycled paper and natural resin – is a new-generation sustainable material that is impact-resistant and hard-wearing. This sustainable material offers users the opportunity to reconnect with the natural world through design, with its tactile warmth and a hint of texture without compromising functionality. It has received an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), ensuring that kitchen designs are durable, have minimal impact on the environment, and promote the health and well-being of consumers. The material can be repurposed, extending its life cycle.
