The Dream Bathroom of Sebastian Herkner

Innovative room solutions, exciting material compositions, and a completely new view of traditional bathroom design: With Zencha, Designer Sebastian Herkner has created a bathroom range that is inspired by traditional Japanese rituals and craftsmanship. However, the product designer completely reinterprets Zencha in his signature bathroom: stained wooden shingles on the wall, shell limestone on the floor, and a ceramic room divider form the basis for this unique bathroom range.

The Dream Bathroom of Christian Werner

How would it look if the idea of the livable bathroom that has shaped the interior of the wet cell for years were taken to its logical conclusion? What if the bathroom becomes a true place of refuge where one can while away some time – even after finishing the regular bathroom routine?
The signature bathroom designed by Christian Werner embraces this thought experiment and advances a proposal for how absolute livability may look when married to the practical requirements of everyday life.

The Dream Bathroom of Bertrand Lejoly

When he set out to design a signature bathroom, Bertrand Lejoly’s goal was to convey a feeling of warmth, coziness, and intimacy. “I wanted to use warm materials and accessories to avoid the sterile and cold atmosphere that is sometimes found in bathrooms”. He therefore embraced the trend of designing the bathroom as a warm place of retreat that combines an open room design with intimate elements, and where the materials harmonize perfectly with the desaturated moss-green wall color.

Color in the Bathroom

While classic white used to be the only choice, you now have a colorful range of options – the possibilities for color in the bathroom are virtually unlimited. Different colors can also have completely different effects and some colors don't work well together. Do some colors in the bathroom work better than others? Which colors work particularly well together? And are there any other issues that need to be considered? We'll help you answer all of these questions.

Bathroom Floor Plans

If you want to redesign your bathroom, the first order of business is to take a look at the bathroom floor plan. When it comes to new construction, there are a lot of things to consider: from its location in the house to natural light sources and the placement of partition walls. If you are renting, or remodeling an existing bathroom, you can use the floor plan to make decisions about the optimal way to make use of the available space. The following article will explain what you need to pay attention to and how bathroom planning using a floor plan works.

Decorating the bathroom

We spend a lot of time in the bathroom every day; it is one of the first places we go in the morning and one of the last places we go before bed. Given this, your bathroom should be more than just a functional room. It's also why decorating your bathroom to make it a lively and beautiful space is such a good idea. Whether you go with simple or fancier bathroom decorations will, of course, depend quite a bit on the style you choose for the entire room. This article will describe the options that are available to you and explain what items go particularly well together.

Color up your everyday

Duravit brings color to your life – especially with a palette of six different colors that will let you design your bathroom with a unique look. This includes bathroom furniture and sinks from the Vitrium bathroom series by designer Christian Werner, as well as matching toilets and bathtubs from other series that you can combine. The color concept makes it possible to design your entire bathroom in uniform colors. You can also use individual accents to break up an otherwise uniform bathroom design.

Finishes

There are many customization options for your bathroom - the possibilities go far beyond simply choosing different products from our various design series. Above all, the finishes in your bathroom play a major role when it comes to transforming the room into a place of well-being that is perfectly customized to your own needs. Duravit offers a wide range of customization options with its extensive color concept, with finishes such as polished gold or matte black.

Bathtubs with a door

A bathtub with door is particularly impressive in terms of convenience and comfort since you don't have to climb over the edge of the tub. With almost floor-level access, this design not only makes it easier to get in and out of the bathtub but it also prevents slipping on wet floors.

The family bathroom

Drawer in – and out. Mirror cabinet open – and closed. Water on – and off. It’s all go in family bathrooms in the morning. Every move has to be perfectly orchestrated, every utensil within easy reach. So it’s always good to have little problem-solvers at hand to make sure that everyday routines go like clockwork. Functionality and comfort play a key role here. Duravit offers a whole host of sophisticated solutions for bathroom users of all ages, particularly in the washing area. The varied and customizable Brioso design options are excellent value for money.

Thinking big in small spaces

Even small bathrooms can become a real feel-good space. You don't need a lot of square feet to design a great bathroom; you need good products and a host of creative bathroom ideas for small bathrooms. Small bathroom solutions can make medium to small bathrooms seem bigger with some smart and clever tricks. Because the footprint is small, the focus is instead on the basic elements and making sure they are arranged in a smart way.

Unique design, high functionality

The bathroom as a tactile experience

Humans imbue places with emotions. The bathroom of yesterday evokes memories of cold tiles and functional ceramic objects. The surfaces in today’s bathroom, however, are much more varied: furniture comes in a range of finishes such as textured wood or satin matt lacquers. Shower trays and bathtubs are made from a cast mineral material with a velvety, warm feel.

The perfect showering area

A quick freshen-up or soothing relaxation – a perfect shower area offers both. The trend in new buildings and modernizations is moving towards generously proportioned, preferably flush-fit walk-in shower areas that offer comfort and safety in equal measure. With the right planning and product selection, the shower zone can become the favorite part of the bathroom.

Happy D. 20 years

When Duravit and sieger design presented the Happy D. bathroom range at the ISH 1999, they introduced a modern archetype with a contemporary design language that is now considered a classic. In the last 20 years, the Happy D. success story has advanced through a number of stages, repeatedly demonstrating new, forward-looking influences that have little time for fleeting trends.

A wealth of forms for individual bathroom design

A uniform formal style is essential for a harmonious overall look in the bathroom. Whether with clear edges, soft curves or a mixture of the two – the Duravit ranges lend individual flair to any bathroom thanks to their timeless yet modern contours – even on rectangular designs.

Bathroom design for now and forever

When sieger design developed the design classic Happy D for Duravit at the end of the 1990s, their vision was to create a modern archetype. Michael Sieger translated the familiar basic form and style elements that informed our notion of a sophisticated bathroom into a contemporary design language. Since that time, the Happy D success story has advanced through a number of stages, repeatedly demonstrating new, forward-looking influences that have little time for fleeting trends. The presentation of Happy D. at the ISH 1999 was an important milestone in the partnership between the two companies, which has now been running for more than 30 years.

Think big: Big little bathroom

Small floor plans do not mean you need to compromise on design freedom. With a creative layout and high-quality designer products, guest bathrooms and cloakrooms can be transformed into oases of luxury. Where floor space is at a premium, the focus is on products in compact dimensions and their arrangement within the room.

Matt surfaces

Matt surfaces make a wide range of new design options possible in the bathroom. Their velvety finish exudes a sophisticated elegance and creates contrasts with glossy individual pieces or colored areas.

Black bathrooms: stylish simplicity

Black bathrooms have been trendy for a long time – and for good reason. Black is both simple and stylish, which makes it the perfect color for modern bathrooms. Individual items can also serve as elegant and eye-catching accent pieces, from black towel holders or shower faucets in black to items as large as a black bathtub. The following article describes the optimal way to go about designing black bathrooms, lists items that look especially good in black, and presents some of the possible color combinations for a bathroom.

The Luxury Bathroom: Inspiration and Tips

A bathroom can be so much more than a simple room for routine use. Nothing says this more clearly than a true luxury bathroom. This is where you can relax, dream, or simply be. Luxury bathtubs and rain showers as well as opulent double sinks and state-of-the-art shower toilets often have a role to play here. But it's not just the size or the features that make a bathroom a luxury bathroom. Even smaller rooms can be transformed into a luxurious bathroom with a few creative ideas. We'll show you how to turn your bathroom into your new favorite, elegant space.

White bathrooms: classic and elegant

It is an absolute classic: a vibrant white bathroom. White bathroom ceramics, as well as white tiles, have always been and will continue to be the prevailing standard. Bathroom furniture in white has always been very popular as well. That's why a white bathroom will never be boring or outdated by any means. In the following article, we will show you different ways to design a white bathroom in a modern or classic style, what other colors make a perfect addition to white, and the many advantages that a white bathroom has to offer.

En suite bath

En suite bathrooms are a growing trend, especially when it comes to luxury bathrooms . But what does en suite mean exactly? The term literally means something like "uninterrupted." When we talk about an "en suite bath," we mean a bathroom that is adjacent to the bedroom and connected to it. A distinction can be made between two different types: the first type consists of a separate bathroom directly adjoining the bedroom, and the other type incorporates the bathroom and bedroom into a single, open room. This article will list the advantages and drawbacks of both types, and will also explain how best to arrange an en suite bath.

Vintage bathrooms

The vintage bathroom combines the charm of bygone times with all the modern comforts. With the right, carefully selected decor and accessories, you can create a relaxing nostalgic oasis. This can be reminiscent of the late 19th century or the roaring 20s, for example, depending on your style. Or maybe you prefer the 60s or 70s? Which elements, colors, and accessories go with which style? Let some of our ideas help you find inspiration and transform your bathroom into a stylish time capsule.

Natural stone in the bathroom - natural, aesthetic, durable

Natural elements make the bathroom look lively and aesthetically pleasing. It doesn't always have to be wood, as natural stone in the bathroom is also an excellent option for adding a lively touch to the room. Do you want a rustic look with a natural stone shower tray? Or an elegant ambience with a natural stone washbasin? The versatile material almost always provides a suitable solution. In the following article, you can find out more about the practical benefits of natural stone in the bathroom and how to care for it.

Natural bathroom

The sound of gently flowing water, the scent of plants and a soft, golden light – what could be more relaxing? If you'd like to experience this feeling in your own private space, you should consider a natural bathroom. Designing your own bathroom as naturally as possible is definitely trendy and with good reason: When properly implemented, a natural bathroom can make you forget everyday life and carry you away to your own private world of peace and relaxation. The following article will show you how to accomplish this.

Seamless bathrooms: tile-free and super trendy

Whether on the floors or the walls, it's hard to imagine a bathroom without tiles. But bathrooms without tiles are not only possible – they also have a lot of practical advantages. Seamless bathrooms have a lot less surface area for dirt and mold to accumulate, which makes them a lot easier to keep clean. The aesthetic aspect doesn't fall by the wayside either: seamless baths create a harmonious overall effect, which is one of the many reasons they are so trendy.

Gray Bathrooms: Tips for Trendy Bathroom Colors

Gray bathrooms are modern yet timeless. Whether as an overall color scheme, in combination with other colors, or as a stylish and understated accent, it's hard to imagine a modern bathroom without any gray. Find out what you need to consider when designing a gray bathroom and discover which combinations the trendy color works especially well in.

A sauna in the bathroom: pure relaxation

It is a standard part of every Finnish bathroom: a sauna. And you don't need a full-on luxury bathroom in order to be able to enjoy the classic wellness experience of a sauna in your own home. You can install a small sauna in your bathroom that will only take up about 10 square feet of space. Of course, if you have the possibility, you can also plan out a true wellness bathroom with a sauna. This article describes some of the key considerations and explains the different types of saunas that are available.

Marble bathrooms: a classic aesthetic with a new look

More than any other material, using marble in the bathroom is associated with classic aesthetics and exclusivity. And with good reason: the stone has natural markings that have been inspiring artists for centuries with unique and impressive patterns, and it is only quarried in very specific locations. A marble bathroom can be both modern and affordable. Although real stone can be expensive, you can also consider a bathroom with a marble look if you want to include this aesthetic in your design. High-quality alternatives, such as those made of stoneware, even have some practical advantages. But what types of marble are there, and what are some possible uses? Where and how does it work especially well? And which finishes work well in combination with the stone?

When colder temperatures dominate outdoors, our home is the ideal retreat.

Twelve Senses

The extraordinary design hotel Twelve Senses Retreat in Encinitas in southern California offers its guests the ultimate in relaxation for body and soul. Encinitas is located close to San Diego and is regarded as one of the world’s top surfing spots. The atmosphere of the coastal town is imbued with a love of surfing, yoga, health, and getting close to nature. The guests of Anke Bodack can also experience this special ambience. With the Twelve Senses Retreat the designer has realized her life’s dream of a minimalist micro-hotel. Its name refers to the twelve human senses found in the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. The Austrian philosopher divides the senses into physical, environmental, and cognitive senses. At the Twelve Senses Retreat, these are stimulated through a combination of quality accommodation, a sense of well-being, and sustainability.

Timeless Autumn

When the summer with all its vivid colors starts to fade, the color combination of black, white and gray provides a welcome contrast. This triad of complementary shades blends perfectly with the cool clarity of autumn and winter. Add selected accessories and matching materials and this wintry look becomes a timeless favorite. Light and reddish woods are an especially good match – a design option that fulfills the desire for warmth during the colder seasons.

Storage in the bathroom: eight ideas for creating more space

Creating enough storage space in your bathroom can sometimes take a little creativity. For additional storage space in a small bathroom, for example, you usually can't just put an extra shelf or cabinet up on the wall. If you're in a rented apartment, for example, you'll often want to create extra storage space in your bathroom without drilling any holes in the walls. Our eight tips below will show you some of the solutions that are available and show you how you can easily create enough space in your bathroom for all of your daily needs.

Cleaning bathroom grout

At first glance, cleaning bathroom grout can often seem more complicated than it ultimately is. It isn't too big of a problem at all if you use the right method, and you can make your bathroom grout white again with just a few simple household items. Below you'll find out how to go about it and learn about some important considerations.

Five organization tips for your bathroom

The bathroom is a central location in every home and plays a major role in everyday life, especially in the mornings and at bedtime. Despite this, or maybe precisely for this reason, tidiness in the bathroom is sometimes neglected. Everything has to be done quickly and there often isn't enough time to clean up. But it's not too difficult to keep your bathroom tidy if you rely on a few simple tricks. We'll show you how it's done – it's very simple and can be used in any bathroom.

Descaling faucets, shower heads, etc.

Cleanliness and hygiene are particularly important in the bathroom. Cleaning the bathroom on a regular basis should always be part of your household cleaning routine. While the toilet and sink are usually at the top of the cleaning list, bathroom faucets should not be overlooked either. The simple flow of water through the faucets can cause limescale to form, which can potentially limit their function and also represent a breeding ground for bacteria. Cleaning them isn't necessarily as complicated as you might initially think. Read on for an explanation of how to descale faucets and shower heads.

Painting the Bathroom: how to make your new paint job a success

Untiled bathroom walls are becoming increasingly popular. All these untiled walls have brought a wide variety of new colors into the bathroom along with them. Unlike other rooms in your house, though, there are some special considerations to be made if you decide to paint your bathroom. The most important point here is choosing the right type of paint; most conventional paints won't meet the requirements found specifically in bathrooms. But it's also important to take the conditions in the bathroom into account when preparing your project and when painting. We'll explain how to paint your bathroom step by step.

Accessible bathroom: for the elderly, wheelchair users & disability-friendly

Comfort and convenience are important bathroom design elements – and everyone should benefit from them equally. Accessible bathrooms make this possible. Everyone can use an accessible bathroom, including those with limited mobility caused by issues related to old age, for example, or because they use a wheelchair. In accessible bathrooms, potential obstacles for these users have been removed. But what are some key considerations when planning an accessible bathroom? What elements make a bathroom accessible? We have gathered all of the relevant information for you below.

Hygiene in the bathroom

Visible and invisible impurities lurk especially in the bathroom. Duravit offers a wide range of products and features to optimize bathroom hygiene for a new, comfortable way of well-being.

Saving energy and water in the bathroom

Everyone can save energy and water – every day and everywhere. But how can you put this into practice simply and effectively in your daily routine? Are there any useful tips for saving water and energy? And how can bathroom faucets and showerheads help?

Bathroom furniture manufacturing

The bathroom – is a place where we live. Duravit is a brand that is at home in the bathroom. After all, we have been producing top-quality sanitary ceramics and design for 200 years. What many people don't know is that Duravit has been manufacturing bathroom furniture at its own factory in Schenkenzell for 30 years now.

Plants for the bathroom

Including plants in your bathroom is a perfect solution if you're looking to make the room feel more homey and vibrant. Relaxing and invigorating at the same time, plants help improve the air quality in the room and provide aesthetic highlights that can serve as a harmonious addition or an exciting contrast in many bathrooms. But are there certain bathroom plants that work particularly well? Which types can get by with relatively little light in a darker bathroom? And what are some good alternatives to natural plants? We have all these answers for you in the following article.

Durable Materials

It’s no coincidence that the name Duravit embodies the concept of durability. The longevity and high quality of our products, however, are down to our very particular standards: responsible choice of materials, precise processing and attention to detail. All with one aim – We want you to be able to enjoy our products for a very long time.

Ceramic

For 200 years Duravit has gained valuable experience in the manufacture of ceramic products and continued to find things to improve. Nowadays \"Made by Duravit\" is regarded as the highest quality promise, guaranteeing the best possible design and innovative technology.

Martian House

What might living on Mars look like? How would everyday life be managed? Two artists from Bristol, working with an interdisciplinary team, have taken it upon themselves to answer this question by building the Martian House. Duravit is also in the mix thanks to development engineer Franziska Wülker and products like SensoWash® Starck f – the Martian Toilet.

Toilet Paper Facts

Sustainability is a much-discussed issue nowadays. However, there’s one small area - the toilet - which often doesn’t get much of a mention. This is because our behavior on the toilet, and especially our use of toilet paper, is far from sustainable. In this respect, Germany is in front all the European countries: significantly more toilet paper is used here than in France or Italy. This isn’t due to a different approach to hygiene, though, but because bidets are much more widely used in these countries. So could washing with water be a sustainable way to protect the climate? And how high is the consumption of toilet paper in Germany exactly?

Duravit Rimless®

With its ingenious, innovative toilet technology, Duravit offers everything that today's consumers want from a toilet: easy to clean, hygienic and fitted with a shower function for the utmost comfort.
