ISH 2019 showcases 12 colour trends for the bathroom
With its evolution into a lifestyle space, the bathroom is experiencing the return of colour as well. The colour transgressions of the 60s and 70s are forgotten – the main thing is to avoid boredom at all costs. Bathroom planners and the industry are responding to the desire for individually and boldly designed bathrooms with an ever growing variety of finishes and unusual arrangements.

When it comes to colour, the industry is awakening from the deep sleep it appeared to fall into following the Bahama Beige and Moss Green trauma of the 1970s. Now, with the advent of on-trend finishes in metallic colour variants, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the lifestyle cultivated in the rest of the interior is conquering the bathroom along with the desire for more cosiness.

Perfectly Normal: A "Freibad" for Elderly
Barrier-free bathrooms don’t exactly have a sexy image.

However, it looks as if this image is about to undergo some fundamental changes over the next few years.

Great Times ahead for Bathrooms
In recent years, the bathroom has undergone an astonishing transformation from neglected little room to wellness-centric showpiece. At the same time, home owners, architects and urban planners have to get used to the idea that there’s more to the bathroom’s ongoing development than “just” the best-possible equipment; more than anything else, a structural change is needed as well.
Freibad – Freedom within four Walls
There is much more to the idea of freedom in the bathroom than barrier-free accessibility: it involves ergonomics, multifunctionality and aesthetics as well. The experimental platform Pop up my Bathroom will be dedicating the new concept bathrooms it has developed for the ISH 2015 to precisely this theme: bathrooms that accompany people throughout every stage of their lives.
