Bathroom trends in 2021 (and beyond) are steering towards wellness spaces that are full of character, personality and timeless style. It has been suggested that to achieve this, designers need to inject a bit of colour – but not always, as we discover when looking at some of Duravit’s latest innovations…
It is sometimes considered and believed that white creates a cold and lacklustre impression. However, used correctly, the colour represents calm, purity and lightness.

It therefore forms the basis for a range of furnishing styles; striking wall colours can infuse a room with character that work especially well when combined with a subtle understatement in white. Off-white colours, and underused tone that can create an understated, authentic atmosphere, are used to counteract a sterile atmosphere.

Unlike pure white, the fragmented white tones lend the room warmth and a pleasant brightness. The bathroom looks larger, and a cozy atmosphere is created by combining calming natural tones and materials.
So, with bathrooms fast becoming so much more than practical spaces, creativity can come in all different sizes and colours – including white.
