A bathroom with a green colour spectrum creates a calming and relaxing atmosphere – Duravit takes a look at how the right bathroom objects, wall design, or plants can be combined to create an oasis of wellbeing…
Lush meadows, dense forests, rustling leaves – green symbolises nature and provides a harmonious balance in a room. At the same time, green is more than just a colour: it has a positive effect on our mood and wellbeing, this makes it ideal for our own private feel-good oasis. the Duravit design team takes a look at how nature’s own colour palette can be integrated, blending with white vanity units or wooden elements within the bathroom furniture to create a harmonious effect.
Green is as versatile in the bathroom as it is in nature. A range of nuances across the colour spectrum have different effects on the room atmosphere. Lighter tones, such as the soft pale green from the Sivida by Starck range brings the room to life and creates elegant splashes of colour. In contrast, darker variations such as the strong Blue Green of the Vitrium by Christian Werner range exudes elegance and provides striking highlights.

The combination of green and white creates interesting contrasts. Muted shades of sage are perfect for creating an elegant impression, while contrasting white bathroom objects, such as those from the Sivida by Starck washing-area range, create a harmonious overall picture. The two-tone above-counter basin from the the same range, with a pale green outer and white inner basin – or the other way round – is a particularly elegant variant.

Patterned wallpapers can be used to create tasteful and unique bathrooms. Whether a guest toilet or main bathroom, the result can be a real eyecatcher. Another option is working with a tone-on-tone scheme, using washing-area combinations in matching colour shades to make a statement in the bathroom. The exclusive Vitrium Colour Christian Werner concept in Blue Green offers appealing tone-in-tone solutions.

Tiles are a functional and aesthetic way of integrating green into the bathroom. For instance, emerald-green tiles combined with the white ME by Starck washbasin from Duravit create a luxurious and stylish ambience.

Finally, get back to nature and create a home jungle: Plants enhance the atmosphere and bring the bathroom to life. If the bathroom design is restrained in colour terms, for instance with the D-Neo bathroom range by Duravit, plants provide a perfect splash of colour. Plants such as ferns and philodendrons are especially well-suited to the humid climate in the bathroom.
