In 2027, the bathroom is increasingly becoming a space for personal expression. Tactile surfaces and rounded forms appeal to the senses, while balanced colours and clear shapes create visual calm. Individual colours and expressive design elements add personality. Villeroy & Boch and Ideal Standard interpret these developments through their distinct design identities.
Based on the adjusted full-year forecast, the Management Board of Villeroy & Boch AG sees the Group within the defined target range, despite a market environment that continues to be shaped by geopolitical tensions. Consolidated revenue for the first nine months amounted to €956.2 million, 11.1% below the previous year’s figure. Adjusted for currency effects and the sale of the Northern Europe
Five ways to create a bathroom that feels like a retreat – in winter and all year round As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, home becomes a place to seek warmth, comfort and time to slow down. With considered choices in colour, form, lighting and functionality, the bathroom can become a retreat to enjoy throughout the year.

Rather than impersonal gift vouchers or unremarkable decorative items, the ideal gift needs to be stylish and have special significance for the recipient. Villeroy & Boch has a wide range of elegant and tasteful gift ideas.

For the shift from al fresco to indoor dining, here are five directions shaping tables this season, from carried-over summer textures to the return of formal white porc

The amazing variety of options now available for the sink area is illustrated by the extensive selection from Villeroy & Boch and Ideal Standard – ins
Anyone planning a new kitchen should begin by asking a simple but important question: How do I want to live? The answer should shape every aspect of the design from how the space functions to how it feels and fits into everyday life.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – a global partnership comprising Carbon Disclosure Project, the UN Global Compact, the World Resources Institute and WWF – has confirmed that the company’s global decarbonisation st

This shift reflects society’s desire to slow down and for a home that is not only functional but also emotionally inviting and soothing.
