Having built a strong reputation for design expertise and exceptional client service, Ripples Solihull has firmly established itself as a trusted name within the luxury bathroom industry. Originally opened in 1988, the showroom has a long-standing heritage, entering a new chapter three years ago under the co-ownership of Richard Fox and Russell Wright.

Since then, the showroom has gone from strength to strength, with the team continuing to evolve its offering through beautifully considered, design-led bathroom spaces. Now, following a recent refurbishment, Ripples Solihull has unveiled a series of striking new displays, creating an inspiring and immersive showroom experience that marks an exciting new chapter for the business. Driven by a shared passion for exceptional design, the team has invested significant time, creativity and expertise into reimagining the showroom. The result is a collection of beautifully considered spaces that not only showcase their design capability but also inspire visitors to envision what is possible within their own homes.

Each display has been carefully created to reflect the team’s commitment to high-end, design-led bathrooms, where materiality, layout and atmosphere work together to create spaces that feel both luxurious and deeply personal. From sculptural freestanding baths and softly layered lighting schemes to tactile finishes and architectural detailing, the showroom now offers a more immersive and aspirational experience for customers.

A key focus of the transformation has been the growing role of wellness within the home. Reflecting wider lifestyle trends, Ripples Solihull has introduced a range of spa-inspired features designed to bring moments of relaxation into everyday routines. Visitors can now experience a fully operational steam shower within the
showroom, complete with an integrated Sunshower – an innovative system that combines gentle infrared heat with low-level UV light to support wellbeing – alongside chromotherapy lighting, a recessed shower head and a heated tiled bench. Designed to showcase the latest in wellness-led bathroom innovation, the installation offers an immersive, spa-like experience that brings together heat, light and comfort in one refined setting.

Building on this, the showroom also features an interactive, fully operational shower display, designed to bring the experience to life in a more tangible way. Clients are invited to explore a variety of shower heads and settings for themselves, gaining a real sense of how each option performs. From understanding differences in water pressure to discovering the feel of each spray, it’s an engaging and informative experience that helps bring clarity and confidence to the design process.

Importantly, the new displays also highlight how accessibility is becoming an increasingly natural and considered element of modern bathroom design. Thoughtfully integrated solutions demonstrate how bathrooms can be designed for the future without compromising on aesthetics, ensuring spaces remain both functional and beautifully refined.

Showroom Event

To celebrate the launch, the team hosted an exclusive showroom event last night, welcoming clients, suppliers and industry partners to experience the new displays first-hand. The showroom was filled with enthusiastic guests, all exploring the space, viewing the displays and learning more about each design.

The atmosphere was vibrant with a live DJ, Champagne and canapés, alongside a local beautician offering hand massages – a thoughtful touch that reinforced the showroom’s focus on wellness and relaxation. It was a fantastic evening that not only showcased the transformation of the space, but also highlighted the passion of the team and the elevated experience Ripples offers.

Richard and Russell commented: “We wanted the showroom to truly reflect what we can create for our clients. Every display has been designed to inspire, but also to show how considered design can enhance everyday living – whether that’s through better use of space, improved functionality or creating a sense of calm and wellbeing.”

The launch marks an exciting step forward for Ripples Solihull, reinforcing its position as a destination for beautifully designed, bespoke bathrooms, and offering clients a clear vision of how thoughtful design can transform the home.
