talks about this years must-have bathroom colour
I HAVE A PREDICTION...THE AVOCADO BATHROOM
SUITE IS GOING TO MAKE A RETURN. RECOIL IN
HORROR ALL YOU LIKE, BUT IT WILL. AND, LIKE
BEARDS AND BOOTCUT JEANS, YOU’LL EMBRACE
THEM ONCE AGAIN. WHAT’S THE BASIS FOR THIS
FRIGHTENING PREDICTION? THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF REASONS.
First, colour in bathrooms is making a return.
After years of clinical white with stainless or
brushed brassware and perhaps a soft greige
or blue on the cabinetry, we’ve now embraced
black. Other colours are also becoming
available. In a recent development, we looked
at soft blue powder-coated brassware.
The second reason is that olive green is
making a comeback. Dark blue hues have had
their moment following the shades of grey
and greige trends of earlier this decade. Now
it’s all about shades of green, specifically olive
green which, let’s face it, isn’t far off avocado.
Also making a resurgence in the world of
interiors are all shades of pink. In fact salmon
pink is the main colour in the interiors of our
City Road project. With all this pink, it’s not
hard to imagine a resurgence of the rose tinted
bathroom suite either. I’m quite partial to a
splash of pink in any room. Olive works beautifully with the black, gold
and natural oak features Amrita at Droo has
selected.
Now, I’m not averse to an olive bathroom.
Like all trends they’re never exactly like
previous iterations. The colour will be less the
green of yesteryear and more olive in hue.
The shapes of the sanitary fittings will also be
different; we’ll see egg baths, floating toilet
pans and marble countertop basins all in olive What do you think? Could you be persuaded
by a coloured bathroom suite? I’m really
excited about this project and can’t wait to
share it with you. Subscribe online to hear

Droo Projects, our interior design team on our
Amhurst Road project, have come up with a
stunning olive green scheme for the four flats
we’re carving out of a Victorian house. While
we’ve stopped short of an avocado bathroom
suite, olive tones are used through the living
areas, bedrooms and, of course, bathrooms.
