Exceptional functions with unpretentious aesthetics are trending throughout home and cottage décor. Sleek, clean lines and strong but subtle colours are popular choices as the return to the minimalist lifestyle continues.
The Grohe Defined Collection of bath and kitchen fixtures and accessories exemplifies this trend. Exclusively available through The Water Closet in Orillia, the collection blends minimalist form with outstanding performance.
“We’re excited to be the exclusive partner selling this line in Ontario,” says Rick Cooke, manager of The Water Closet in Orillia. “This unique collection isn’t about flash: it’s about substance. It meets the needs for many of our clients.”
Renowned for advanced technology and functionality, Grohe’s dedication to understated beauty can transform bathrooms into boutique spaces. Their timeless and elegant designs are epitomized in the Defined Collection: these pieces will truly never go out of style.
Each fixture and accessory has its own aesthetic appeal. Finish options include chrome, steel, and brushed nickel, although individual piece options vary.
“These are strong, classic finishes that can complement both darker and brighter tones in your home or cottage,” says Rick.
German engineering
The essence of transitional design, this Water Closet exclusive collection features the hallmarks of German engineering: superior performance, attention to the smallest detail, transitional curves, and clean, contemporary lines.
The standing tub filler with a hand shower attachment is perfect for standalone tubs. Available in either Grohe Starlight Chrome or Brushed Nickel Infinity Finish, the metal lever handle creates precise and effortless water control, while eco-friendly technology provides enhanced energy efficiency.
Featuring a gentle arc at the top of a sleek body, the tub filler stands alone as a feature fixture in any bathroom. The hand shower addition is perfect for rinsing off before leaving the tub.
The single hole, single-handle, small size bathroom sink faucet has many of the same wonderful features as the tub filler – minus the hand shower attachment – while in a smaller, more linear form.
But, if a traditional design is more appealing – or needed for your preferred vanity – the eight-inch, widespread, two-handle medium size bathroom faucet can execute the desired functions with the same style as its single handled counterparts.
It’s not only the sink and tub faucets that incorporate the tremendous form and function features. The collection features a robe hook, towel bar, towel ring, and a paper holder that complete the full bathroom décor. These complementary accessories add style and substance to an expertly planned bathroom.
“Each fixture and accessory is a worthy focal point of any well-appointed bathroom,” says Rick.
Kitchen design
Grohe has also brought the same excellence to the kitchen. The Defined single handle, pulldown kitchen faucet is equipped with a dual spray head complete with stream and spray functionality.
The swivel spout rotates 360-degrees, making it easy to reach all areas of the sink.
“This setup looks amazing and is also very user-friendly,” says Rick. “Wash fruits and vegetables and rinse dishes with ease.”
Each faucet, tub filler and hand shower will deliver strong flow while using less water, providing amazing performance with environmental benefits.
The Defined Collection includes other tremendous products, such as wall-mounted tub spouts and diverters, bar faucets, and more.
