Thoughts on Cersaie 2012

Firstly apologies for the delay in posting this.  Went to Cersaie with the dregs of a viral infection and it returned - now on day 40 and so far it is winning ...

We started off in the main tile blocks, and colourwise things seemed more restrained than previously.  Summed it up in a Twitter post as 50 shades of neutral, as all shades of beige, greige, taupe, stone and grey led the way.

Metropolis from Epoca
Palladio vanity unit from Sbordoni
Satin from Valentino
Oasis furniture
Bisazza Variations Marzia
Bisazza Variations Fabia
  But of course there were bright colours - this is Cersaie after all; full of fire and passion, panache and colour with outstanding innovative designs and trends for the forthcoming year.  Here comes the colour!

Trend had a beautiful bright and eye-catching stand and showcased many of their Liberty mosaics.

Stunning new high gloss furniture from Sbordoni to complement their Palladio traditional range.

Sbordoni have also introduced a soft black nickel in their Neoclassica range to include stands, mirrors, taps and wastes and accessories.

Also showcased at Cersaie was the Florentia range of shower enclosures and Piatti Doccia trays.  Sbordoni firmly believe if you prefer a traditional bathroom you should have the choice of traditional shower enclosures and trays to enhance the showers.

Bisazza looked glorious with white display stands enhancing their mosaics - their new range Variations is simply wow to see up close and personal ...

Vibrant colours lit up the Oasis stand as they introduced updates to their Luxury and Master ranges.

We saw many more companies and stands than those featured here and for creativity, innovation and sheer panache you can't beat Cersaie and the 2012 was no exception.

In the Pink in honour of Breast Cancer Care Month


In case you hadn't noticed all over the world October is Breast Cancer Awareness month which draws attention to this disease by encouraging women to take advantage of screenings, or donate money to research into finding a cure. 
You will see Pink Ribbons in stores, particularly at beauty counters and companies such as Marks and Spencer with their Pink range of clothing, Asda with their "Tickled Pink" range, and Estee Lauder and many others supporting this cause. 

So going with the thinking pink theme here's a few items that are in the pink ....
Some tiles from the Valentino range ..
