The UK’s bathroom experts, Dolphin have worked closely with leading tile manufacturers from Italy and Spain to create a brand new, extensive collection of stunning bathroom tiles.
 
Geoff Wells, Bathroom Planning Expert for Dolphin Bathrooms, comments on the emerging trends he sees reflected in the new range; “There are some strong themes coming through, with larger format tiles, natural textures and metallic finishes playing a noticeable part in the new collection.  We are finding that customers are becoming more adventurous, making a feature of their bathroom tiles and really paying attention to the details.” 
 
The new City Life Balares range is the latest statement for modern bathrooms.  The large gloss tiles with a granite pattern are the ultimate in luxurious style.

 

The large rectangular tiles also make this range perfect for tiling large surface areas.
 
Bright jewel colours and metallic finishes are key to the new Dolphin range and this Lustre Mosaic tile is no exception.  The mosaic tile features a lustrous sheen, created by bonding metallic oxide to the tile.

The specialised finish and colours create a striking visual effect and will help to make more of a feature of the bathroom.  The range is available in either silver or multi-coloured iridescent blue.


The new City Life Basement range combines subtle new textures and patterns with a stylish high-gloss ceramic white wall tile. Team this with Dolphin’s keyline metallic Espejo and Infinity glass listello for a sleek finish.

White will always be a popular choice for bathrooms as it is the most effective way of creating a clean, light and airy atmosphere in any bathroom, big or small.
 
Decorative edges, faces and borders are used to dramatic effect in the new Milan range.  The fine slate effect porcelain tile combines beautifully with the border listello to create a hand-scored effect.

The high quality ceramic and porcelain tiles resemble natural stone which helps to create a simple, but striking look that can be carried from wall to floor.
 
With 18 new ranges added, Dolphin’s collection of bathroom tiles now consists of 51 different ranges to ensure that Dolphin has something special for new bathrooms, whatever the style.

Unique and sleek, the new Freedom wetroom from Dolphin is the epitome of style with its unstructured look, modern features and textured finishes.
 
When it comes to showering, a wetroom is the ultimate experience and Dolphin bathrooms use the latest technology, with the Carmen wet floor system, which is professionally installed to ensure the room is completely watertight.
 
Beautiful natural textures and finishes, found in the Petra Beige wall and floor tiles, Denzil washbasins made from real travertine stone and Tavola wenge wood washstands, create a warm and distinct look. The uncomplicated, spacious and textured style of the new Freedom wetroom provides the perfect haven for relaxation.
 
The Freedom bathroom also incorporates a selection of contemporary elements, including Dolphin’s chrome Quadrant taps, a Silver Freedom linear shower screen and a selection of metal and glass accessories from Dolphin’s Touch range to choose from.

Space may be at a premium in many homes but style will always be high on the agenda according to bathroom specialists Dolphin. As the bathroom is no longer seen as just a place for showering or bathing, consumers with busy lives are now looking for their very own home spa, a place to relax and pamper themselves regardless of space and with minimum effort.
 
Dolphin predicts that fitted bathroom furniture is going to be big news in 2008 because it is ideal for creating a clutter-free environment. The introduction of Dolphin’s new modern, fitted furniture range, Verve, exemplifies just how far fitted designs have come, with the introduction of stylish curved fronted units, and striking high gloss finishes.
 
Attention to detail is also paramount with Verve, offering a choice of standard or solid surface worktops and soft-close drawers as standard.
 
Dolphin Bathrooms is the only national bathroom specialist to provide an all-inclusive service which includes everything from initial design to installation.
