Practicalities are always important in a bathroom. However, elements such as ergonomic tapware and water-resistant cabinetry are only half the story. A bathroom is also a place of sanctuary, and, as such, is the better for designs and finishes that can be appreciated at leisure by family and guests alike.

Architectural Designer Products (ADP) offers a variety of bathroom vanities, mirrors and storage components that are easy on the eye, says director Andrew Jones.

"The highest standard of design and manufacturing goes into all our products," he says. "The latest European designs are reflected in our clean-lined bathroom furniture ranges, and these can be customised with a number of variables."

Options include wall-hung units, units with kickboards or a variety of legs, one, or three tapholes, various handles, basins and a variety of sizes.

In terms of finishes, options include polyurethane gloss white or ivory, satin white, and numerous laminex colours. Finishes and upmarket counter options, such as CaesarStone and freestyle, are available in a wide colour range.

As well as an array of design possibilities, a high-end standard of manufacture also recommends the company's products. For example, all of ADP's cabinetry is manufactured from moisture-resistant medium density fibreboard with solid 16mm backing board. The cabinetry features rigid, cam-lock construction, innovative soft-close mechanisms to ensure the doors can never be slammed, and a smooth operation of full-extension metal drawer systems. Hinges on the cabinetry are to an equally high standard and come with a lifetime guarantee.

"Three of our latest ranges are the Bella Vista, Illusion, and IFO," says Jones. "The Bella Vista offers clean lines combined with soft curves to create a completely new bathroom look."

As with all ADP furniture, Bella Vista is offered in a variety of designs.

The Illusion range offers another slant on modern bathroomware, literally its angled rectangles and round shapes create a distinctly contemporary look."

The third recently released range is the IFO. These are wall-hung design options, which include contemporary profiles and fresh takes on geometric dimensions. One of the range, the City, is developed to be used as either a corner or wall vanity.

All three ranges offer a departure from existing pieces available in the market. These, and other modern designs from ADP, are represented on these pages.

"ADP is also a front-runner in ergonomic solutions to bathroom problems," says Jones. "Our Wall Buddy creates a half-height modesty wall between the toilet and the rest of the bathroom environment, and offers additional storage solutions. This alone has enjoyed a huge success in the Australian bathroomware marketplace."

ADP also offers bathroom furniture, including tallboys, in-wall cabinetry, mirrors, shaving cabinets and other accessories such as universal plug and waste fittings.
