Create a spa-like luxury bathroom in the home
suitable for everyday day living with Sottini
It used to be just high rise city centre apartments where recreating the look and feel of a five star hotel were typical requirement
for architects, designer and specifiers to address.
However, with busy modern day
lifestyles, new demands and the
growing importance of the role of the
bathroom within the home, house buyers are
now increasingly looking for a bathroom that
offers the luxury look and feel of a five-star
hotel or spa, but combined with the
appropriate functionalities to deal with the
practicalities of everyday life.
Consumers seem to be attaching a greater
importance to the role of the bathroom in the
home, not just for its functionality but also its
holistic benefits for unwinding and retreating
from the stresses of modern day life.
Bathrooms are being designed to balance the
practical needs of hopping in the power
shower before work, with offering users the
ability to ‘treat’ themselves every day in serene
space to have a leisurely soak in a statement
bath.
When it comes to making the new home
purchase decision, having a bathroom space
that offers this lifestyle choice is an incredibly
important and persuasive factor.
The new collection by Sottini, the timeless
bathroom brand built on a heritage of quality
and innovation in design, is geared towards
both the house developer and hotel sectors,
which ensures residential property developers
can create the perfect look that appeals to
consumers looking to replicate the very best in
high-end hotel luxury style in a domestic
bathroom.
The hotel bathroom has a lot in common with
its domestic counterpart, not just in terms of
creating a spa-like, relaxing sanctuary, but also
in creating an individual finish with a sense of
character that sets them apart from the
competition.
With people being constantly on the go, not
only is it essential to have a practical space for
your morning routine, or bath time with the
kids, but also a space that becomes a
sanctuary of peace and tranquillity at the end
of the day. This means that bathrooms are
now up there with the kitchen when it comes
to selling houses.
Luxury, style and elegance is what bathrooms
of first-class hotels are defined by – and Sottini
has collaborated with internationallyrenowned
and award-winning product
designers from around the world to create a
collection of elegantly-crafted individual items
that can be curated in a multitude of
combinations for a domestic setting.
The new Sottini vision enables customers to
simply imagine their own unique bathroom
space.

designed to work in harmony with each other,
enabling customers to design their perfect
bathroom and to form an emotional
connection with their surroundings.

developed individually with high design
specifications and precision engineering,
ensuring each basin, bath and WC is a unique
piece: a work of art and a design statement –
enabling the integration of the luxury
experience of a hotel stay into the bathroom
