The loo of the future

If they’d ever shown toilets on Star Trek, they might have looked like Kohler’s Numi 2.0. Combining the ultimate in comfort, high-tech design and futuristic functionality, the Numi lets you program precision settings for lighting, bidet functions and even audio, while low-key recessed LED lighting gently guides your way at night.

Numi 2.0, approx. $11,750, Kohler, kohler.ca.

Keep it clean

A toilet that cleans itself? Sold! It sounds like a dream, but that’s exactly what American Standard’s ActiClean Self-Cleaning Toilet does. Two settings give you the option of a light once-over or a deep, thorough scrub for a sparkling germ-free clean.

Round & Round

The round Frido porcelain vessel sink combines minimalist styling with eye-catching colours in glossy or matte finishes. Combine colours for a totally unique look. We love the simple, geometric look of a pair mounted side by side in a primary bath.

Pure glam

Classic gold bath fixtures are back in vogue, but the best styles have a fresh twist. The Zehn floor-mounted tub filler – part of Vogt’s newest collection of bath faucets, tub fillers and shower sets – features a delicate brushed gold finish that’s glamorous without being gaudy. Its timeless look is enhanced by sleek single-lever handles and a retro-inspired, telephone-style handset.
