The bath is often first to be sacrificed when space poses a challenge in bathroom design. But why is this? “The decision of bath versus shower should be made by people not the space!”, says Claudie Horel, Senior Product Manager in the Wellness Division at Villeroy & Boch.
1. You can’t go wrong with black & white Coco Chanel knew it, and so did Karl Lagerfeld: from fashion to interior design, black & white is a classic. The contrast allows endless variations and is never boring. This makes it a good choice all over the home: in the kitchen, bathroom or on the table.
Simply made for each other: surface-mounted washbasins and coordinating vanity units are a perfect match in the bathroom. Because only a clearly organised unit can bring out the full beauty of the ceramic that almost appears to float on top.
A quest for a style to counterbalance fast-paced lifestyles and transform homes into cosy and restful havens has led interior design professionals to very different regions of the world: hyggelige Scandinavia and minimalist Japan.
The bathroom is not just one of the most important rooms in the home. It can be a real game-changer in restaurants too. For a truly memorable dining experience, this room needs to make just as good an impression as the cuisine. Café Compagnon in Paris shows exactly how this can be achieved.
It’s a real all-rounder: no other bathroom installation fulfils quite so many functions as the washbasin. This is where we carry out many of our daily hygiene routines, from brushing our teeth in the morning to getting ready for a party in the evening.
Architectura is Villeroy & Boch’s comprehensive system range, whose attractive yet economical solutions are perfect for implementing public and private projects. The main focus of the collection are the washbasins that come in three shapes for three installation types: round, oval and rectangular, and available as surface-mounted, built-in and undercounter models.
A village atmosphere in the heart of the Parisian metropolis. In the 15th arrondissement, you can hear the beating heart of the city. Tree-lined streets filled with little boutiques and shops, gourmet bistros and food stores, as well as a book shop and a luxury shoemaker’s create a very authentic Parisian atmosphere.
Round, oval, rectangular – good design speaks for itself. Just like the Loop & Friends bathroom range that knows how to play with shapes and geometries, having made statements in bathroom design for many years. For 2021, Villeroy & Boch has given the Loop & Friends bestseller a new yet familiar look: the washbasins are more delicate, the baths more stylish.
It’s a real game changer: colour has made a dazzling comeback in the bathroom over the last few years. And it’s hardly surprising. Colour creates atmosphere and evokes emotions. It is both a personal statement and a reflection of current trends. This is particularly true when it is skilfully applied.
The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in any home. It is where we prepare for the day ahead, reconnect with ourselves in our fast-paced lives, and spend precious moments alone and as a family. What better reason to make our bathroom something very special: a favourite place where time seems to stand still. In a style that will not easily go out of fashion. How can you achieve this?
Reds are vibrant, warm colours. They feel stimulating and exude optimism and energy. Red shades are a perfect choice for anyone who wants to recharge their batteries and find daily inspiration in their bathroom. Admittedly, it does take a little courage. But reds have the potential to transform your bathroom into a very personal source of energy.
