Alisa from The Block’s pick of the top new trends for bathrooms

By Guest Poster •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

It’s that time of the week again: a guest post from one of the twins, and today it’s the lovely Alisa. 

Alisa the block

Since finishing The Block Sky High, I have been finding so many exciting products that I quite often think to myself ‘if only I knew about this while we were filming!’ As we were labelled the bathroom queens on the show, I thought it would be fitting to share a few of these cool new products that I’ve come across on my travels.

The GROHE Power & Soul

grohe

Power & Soul uses a spray pattern technology, harnessing the force of water through 8 dynamic spray nozzles, recreating a ‘fingertip massage’ effect and to bring about tension relief. It has 4 different spray patterns with a button to select up to 11 different varieties of spray options. Seriously makes showering seem like an inviting way to relax!

This would have been absolute heaven during filming. I probably shouldn’t be writing this, but there were times that we didn’t shower for up to 4-to-5 days due to time or not having hot water on site – how gross is that?

Anyway, the water that comes out of this showerhead feels amazing on the skin, bringing relaxation and luxury to any bathroom. I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t want a fingertip massage every time they shower!

The PARISI Cow Collection

PARISI

I know this collection may not be for everyone, but I thought this new range was very quirky and playful. The Cow Collection is a new bathware range from Parisi and was created by internationally esteemed designers Sandro Meneghello and Marco Paolelli. The fun and playful shape reminds us of a cow, characterised by 4 leg structures, and of course the ‘cow’ paint job. It comes in a range of colours and I think it is a great way to make a statement in any bathroom. I reckon Matt and Kim could have really pulled this off in their apartment or maybe Mark and Duncan could have used this collection to match with their kitchen splash back?

Inline mains water filter system, HiFlow

HiFlow

This is an innovative new filtered water system that allows you to turn any tap into a filter tap. Everybody likes to drink nice clean water and HiFlow have created a solution that eliminates the need for a separate tap. It is space saving, mounting vertically or horizontally under your kitchen sink, which is particularly good news for those with granite or stone bench tops or under mount sinks. The system is easy to install, connecting directly to any mixer tap or cold water tap.

I think this product would be great for not only kitchens, but for ensuites too (especially if your bathroom is a fair distance from your kitchen). I know personally that this would come in handy as I fill my glass up every night, using the water from my ensuite vanity. This would allow me to be lazy (by not walking to the kitchen) whilst also being good for my health!

I hope that these 3 products get your creative juices flowing and remind you to think beyond the standard basics when renovating. It’s a mixture of luxury, creativity and practicality. 

Alisa Fraser is one half of The Block Sky High’s winning twins, Alisa and Lysandra. They’re guest posting at Interiors Addict for the next few weeks and look forward to sharing their next exciting move with us soon! Look out for their posts every Friday.

@smartstoneaustralia's stunning Calacatta Viola sintered stone surface features throughout, making a bold statement while being durable enough to be used in the busiest areas.

Inspired by Puglia, Pino's (named after the owner's father) in Cronulla has a real seaside vibe. The Smartstone was also chosen for the outdoor tables due to its UV stability.

SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jas SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jasminemcclellanddesign delivered. And then some!

"With a keen eye for design, they wanted their main bathroom to feel calm, spa-like and elevated with more storage, better layout, and soft, layered textures in a neutral palette. Lighting was another big focus, with the goal of creating a space that felt luxurious enough to unwind in, preferably with a glass of champagne in the bath.”

Is it a yay or a nay for you?

The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday w The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday was a real treat. Such an exciting and sleek looking upgrade to my favourite kitchen machine!

The new look speaks for itself and, as usual, the engineering is impressive. Here's the biggest changes that stood out to me:

1. It's SO quiet and in fact SILENT up to a certain speed 
2. It has a much bigger 10 inch screen
3. A new insulated, cool to touch bowl (the inner metal bowl detaches to wash)
4. A gorgeous new matte black design with fluted and herringbone details and made of 30% recycled materials 👏🏼 

Enjoyed a beautiful lunch all prepared, naturally, in the Thermomix! Was great to meet @mise_en_place_aus in real life as well as special guest dessert queen @kirstentibballs and catch up with the lovely Thermomix team.

Tag a friend who'll be coveting the TM7! It's available from next week!

    That water filtration system looks great. I too am a night drinker, and I find myself taking two glasses to bed, as I’m too lazy to walk to the kitchen for more! Our old pipes are horrible. I would never contemplate drinking unfiltered water:)

    I have been looking into water filters lately. This one looks good. Would love to know the price range though can’t seem to find it on the website anywhere.
