The colourways are changing constantly. If still neutral tones were asked yesterday, today these are rather strong colours. In her presentation, Gesa Hansen gives an overview of the current color scheme in the bathroom and kitchen.
People who have to cope with physical or agerelated limitations know just how important a safe and easy-touse bathroom is when it comes to their independence and wellbeing. In his lecture Jens J. Wischmann talks about current developments of barrier free bathrooms.
New
colourways are the ideal complement to the philosophy of modern bathroom
planning, which tailors the bathroom design to customers’ needs like a bespoke
suit.
Pastel shades are currently trending in interior design – mint, pink or light blue create a friendly atmosphere and add colourful accents. Pastel bathrooms allow you to create a beautiful new world, sometimes bright and bold, sometimes dreamy and romantic.
The
advance of the social media age is affecting the communication channels for the
sanitary and HVAC sector too. In addition, branding is taking on overriding
importance in marketing when it comes to sticking in target groups’ minds.
Greige
exemplifies a category of colours that enter into a permanent alliance with a
second colour and create something new. Like
grey, greige therefore has what it takes to become the new white in bathroom
design.
The
new white for bathrooms? Grey is the common colour denominator in the
bathroom right now – with the added bonus that it never looks dated.
Now
there’s a statement: a black bathroom! The
washbasins, fittings and accessories create an interesting
contrast with the marble on the walls and floor.
Inspired
by nature, this colour range is also coming into fashion as a way to reference
historic styles: different shades of brown bring a snug, cosy feel to the
lifestyle bathroom.
