Toto, the company well known for its innovative toilets, showcased the new, artistic Waza Miyabi collection at the KBIS (Kitchen/Bath Industry Show) 2009.

The patterns for these toilet models are based on sho-chiku-bai, which means “pine, bamboo and plum” in Japanese.

“Each toilet is hand-painted in vivid colors with intricate detailing, creating a piece of high art for the bath space,” Toto spokeswoman Lenora Campos said.

“The latest trend for luxurious interiors is ‘Nature’ and designers are now creating beautiful hand made products from raw natural materials that are also friendly to the environment.

Bathrooms International of Pont Street has responded by launching The Papillon, the ultimate bath made from stone.

This bespoke freestanding bath is exquisitely hand carved from a large block of stone by master craftsmen; the individual character of the rock as well as the inspiration of the mason transform the bath into a unique sculpture.”

Some bathroom inspiration today from Regia, an Italian manufacturer of bathroom furniture.

The collection includes two built-in under sinks cabinets made of solid wood and marble tabletops, mirror in wooden frame with gold trim, low tables and other accessories.

You can also choose from a variety of plenty of marble styles, hand-painted cabinets and trim styles.

And if you really want your bathroom to glitter and shine, you can opt for the Swarovski crystal studded metal handles.

By using a facial screening application, the iHouse Smart Faucet recognizes the user and automatically turns on the water to the favored flow and temperature.

In addition, the touchscreen display located on top of the faucet can be used to check out your email inbox, view the current temperature outside among others.

Several people can activate the tap in different configurations, without having to reconfigure it.
