2021 Roundup: Celebrating an Unforgettable Year

It goes without saying: 2021 has been a year like no other. As we reflect on the events of the last 12 months, we’d like to thank all of our loyal customers, dealers and partners for their continued support. With 2021 going down as our most successful year to date; it’s been a period that’s demonstrated the tenacity of our incredible team, even in the most uncertain of circumstances.

Beginning preparations for 2022 has been an exciting time for the ICO team. With new prospects and challenges on the horizon, our staff have been busier than ever planning for new product launches, new team members, establishing new dealer locations and much more.

But whilst we look forward to new challenges in the new year, we’re celebrating some of our most exciting moments of the last 12 months:

We welcomed new staff

In 2021 we welcomed not one, but two key new additions to the ICO family, Glenn and Daniel Stutterheim. Delivering innovation in abundance, Glenn and Daniel’s fresh perspective has already made a huge impact on the day-to-day running of  ICO! We’re looking forward to the creative direction they’re planning for 2022 and beyond. You can find out more about Daniel and Glenn in our recent Q&A blog!

We got a new look 

Launching our rebranding campaign and new website was a key milestone for us in 2021. Our enhanced digital space is packed with new features, resources and browsing options. Most importantly though, we’ve listened to your feedback and designed a website that is tailored to you: our customers. Read the full story behind our rebranding campaign in our blog. 

We launched new products 

Our design teams have worked day and night to craft and curate pieces that promise to deliver comfort, luxury and design to homes across North America for 2021 and beyond. We launched stunning new products across all of our collections, with the Vivaldi Trough Sink proving to be a new customer favorite!

Tuzio Sorano Matte White 

Confident construction and architectural integrity make Sorano one of the most sought after towel warmers in the Tuzio range. We love this contemporary, minimalist structure and we think it makes an even bolder statement in matte white! 

New Tuzio Models Ready to Order

The much-coveted Tuzio range also saw three newcomers: Vasto, Ortona and Romano. We think they’re full of character and ooze elegance – wouldn’t you agree?

Bathroom Interior Design Trends for 2022

With 2022 just around the corner, it’s a perfect time to think about all those little jobs and home projects that we’ve been putting off ‘until next year’. If revamping  your bathroom is at the top of your agenda, there are so many many simple yet effective ways to rejuvenate your space: from small pops of colour and accessories, right through to statement fixtures and focal pieces that will transform your tired washroom into stylish sanctuary. 

Here’s some of the top trends to look out for in 2022:

Matte White Moment

Move over matte black, matte white is having a moment. When matte black fixtures first came into play, many dismissed them as a fleeting trend that wouldn’t stand the test of time. But the demand for matte black faucets and accessories is still super strong, with its counterpart matte white fast becoming the must-have design trend for 2022. 

Crisp, clean and impactful: Tuzio’s much-loved Sorano in Matte White (pictured above) adds a bold, bright accent to modern bathroom design. A favourite amongst minimalists, matte white heated towel rails are perfect for adding a little drama to your washroom interior design. 

Say it with Stone

Earthy organic textures like stone deliver a raw and elemental edge to contemporary bathroom design. Favoured by architects, stoneware imbues power while adding character and depth to washroom interior design. But this natural material isn’t just beautiful, it’s practical too. Stone tiles are durable, easy to clean and are excellent heat conductors when fitted with underfloor heating. 

Beautiful Biophilia 

Biophilic design is all about bringing the natural environment indoors: promoting connectivity with the outside world for a rejuvenating experience in your home. Biophilia doesn’t just look gorgeous, it stimulates the senses and inspires positive emotional responses – in fact it’s considered to contribute towards lowered stress levels and reduced blood pressure. 

Opt for plants, greenery and natural materials like wood and stone to recreate the textures of the natural world in your bathroom space. By building an interior space that speaks to nature, you’ll in turn create a relaxing, sanctuary-like ambience that you’ll long to spend more time in. 

Deep & Dark

Dark, sumptuous colour schemes are so in right now. Predicted to be the top colour trend for 2022, intense indigos and rich emeralds are the go-to statement colours for daring interior design. For an elegant touch, contrast a deep, inky blue against lighter wood for a chic design feature that your guests will long to recreate in their own homes. Trust us – it’s a trend that’s here to stay.
