Master bathrooms indulge in luxurious Sok

Master bathrooms are morphing into therapeutic relaxation centres with the accent on luxury, indulgence and spa-quality fittings.

Smart spatial inclusions, designed to enhance the perception of space and give an element of separation between bathing and toileting areas for example, include wall dividers, floor zoning and split levels.

Freestanding baths, space permitting, are often the centre piece of the master bathroom – especially those with luxury features such as constant overflow and wet-edge feature or bubble massage technology – plus deluge showers together with statement basins and taps.

Key contenders are items such as the Kohler Sok overflow bath with ‘infinity pool’ effect and whirlpool options; the sculptural Escale freestanding bath with BubbleMassage technology (thousands of bubbles filled with warm air massage and support the entire body); the RainCan overhead shower with Katalyst technology to create a ‘deluge’ of water while using only 9 litres of water a minute; and basin mixers such as the statuesque Symbol.
