DESIGNING A BATHROOM IN CORIAN® DEEP NOCTURNE
By far one of the most striking for bathroom remodelling has to be Corian® Deep Nocturne.
DuPont™ Corian® has recently released a new range of colours. By far one of the most striking for bathroom remodelling has to be Deep Nocturne. A deep, intense black inspired by the night, it’s a colour that will bring instant wow factor to your luxury bathroom. Let’s take a look at some of the design choices you can make with Corian® Deep Nocturne.
Is a black bathroom a good idea?
Appreciators of minimalist aesthetics in the bathroom will know that a black bathroom delivers a serious style punch to a high-end home. So, Corian® Deep Nocturne’s entry into the market is something of a revelation to high-end designers.
When combined with slate grey ceramics or marble tiles and chrome, brushed chrome or even black taps, Corian® Deep Nocturne fixtures communicate a sense of intense relaxation. Subtly opulent, their endless blackness will encourage you to lose yourself in form, which, in turn, becomes the function of the bathroom experience.
A truly bold interior design choice, an artisanal bathroom designed in Corian® Deep Nocturne will demonstrate your individuality and diversion from the tried-and-tested. What’s more, it will convey the seriousness with which you treat the ritual of self-cleansing.
Choosing Corian® Deep Nocturne products
One of the most exciting aspects of choosing Corian® bathroom products from a customisable collection like that offered by Riluxa is that you can mix-and-match to create your own set. Whichever Corian® item you choose, you can request that it is delivered in Deep Nocturne so that it has instant connectivity to its counterpart products.
This degree of design democratisation gives you a new level of freedom to make your bathroom uniquely your own. Whatever the combination of products you select—and whatever size you select them in—you can choose your own Corian® colour for all of them so that they have a truly bespoke quality.
What that means is: you will rarely find one Corian® Deep Nocturne bathroom with identical features to another. But what are those features? Let’s explore some of the pieces available in Deep Nocturne.
Corian® Deep Nocturne Washbasins
For the ultimate master bathroom, a double washbasin will always establish a sense of lavishness and majesty. However, if hard-edged retrofuturism is your thing—pulling back some stylised austerity into the space— a double basin like the Tennessee in Corian® Deep Nocturne will give your bathroom a strikingly simple contemporary take on mid-century modern design. The rectangular, sloping sinks make a show of surface water run-off and the clean lines that characterise this wall-mounted basin invite a sense of unadorned tranquillity.
If you’re designing a second bathroom or smaller washroom space, then you’ll probably want a single washbasin. The Tennessee actually does come as a single basin, too, and there are other minimalist black sinks to choose from, such as the Alabama and the Nevada, which offer similarly simple beauty. However, let’s take a look at a slightly more opulent option for those who prefer a more art deco inspired style.
The Contemporary wall-mounted washbasin may be named for the right now, due to its two-tone flexibility, but it’s very much a piece that would fit within an early modernist art deco or art nouveau inspired bathroom. Like all Corian® items, it’s customisable in any colour but its presentation in Deep Nocturne helps to position it as a piece that brings a true sense of grandeur to the smaller bathroom.
Corian® Deep Nocturne Shower Trays
Picture your ultimate statement shower. Slate grey tiles, natural light cutting through beautifully, a selection of beautiful plants and a glass panel barely separating the cubicle from the main space—just enough to let you know you’ve entered the shower space (and to keep the water from splashing). Now imagine stepping onto a London ultra-slim Corian® shower tray in Deep Nocturne.
Black shower trays will help bring continuity between the main bathroom space—also designed in Deep Nocturne—and the shower area. In an ultra-slim design, there’ll barely be a step up to the shower area, giving a sense of uninterrupted minimalist flow. It makes the experience of showering one that takes in the whole bathroom—giving you both privacy and openness simultaneously. And the deep, dark tones will help to maintain that sense of a profound cleansing ritual.
Corian® Deep Nocturne Bathtubs
Black bathtubs have been increasing in popularity ever since 2019, when Riluxa was nominated for an Archiproducts Design Award for the Lofty Black solid surface tub. Now that Corian® Deep Nocturne has entered the market, though, design enthusiasts are empowered to choose whichever Corian® bathtub they like in this most stylish of colours.
Whether you choose a recessed tub like the B-Round, a built-in bathtub with storage space like the B-Flat or a beautifully luxurious freestanding tub like the Delight, you can select Deep Nocturne as your colour choice. It will be the centrepiece of your new Deep Nocturne bathroom and the product around which all your other design selections begin to make sense. Each in the same material, each with the same texture and quality of build, and each with the same stunning deep, black colour.
