“The modern bathroom is a place for beauty and care,” says designer Christoph Behling. “These care products need space.” The washbasin cabinet is perfect for this, as it offers practical storage space.

Wall-hung washbasin cabinets suspended above the floor are also a good idea. These have become an integral part of the bathroom. Products integrated in the wall, such as mirror cabinets, create special design moments – including in small rooms.

“Matt ceramic surfaces and colours are not as reflective. The bathroom then appears warmer and more homely,” explains the designer. In terms of design, there is an increasing trend towards individualism. Whether in terms of colour, furniture or material, the choices are almost endless – and result in exclusive, unique design moments. At Geberit, bathroom furniture and washbasins from different series can be combined with each other according to personal wishes thanks to the “Mix & Match” principle. This allows for a wide range of design combinations.

Pantone announced Peach Fuzz – a mixture of pink and orange – as its 2024 Colour of the Year. The warm colour reflects natural light sources optimally, which makes the room appear brighter and more airy. This is particularly beneficial in the bathroom, which is usually a small room without large windows. The soft peach colour can help to increase the sense of space in the room while also ensuring a cosy atmosphere. In the bathroom, Peach Fuzz can be combined particularly well with other pastel colours, warm brown shades, and white.

Black matt will continue to gain in popularity in the bathroom. Similar to chrome, it can be combined with every colour and tile. As a tap or furniture colour, black matt creates an exciting contrast to the simple ceramic appliances when used in combination with wood or organic materials, such as natural stone with striking veins running through it. As the colour absorbs reflected light, the bathroom is less brighter and therefore more cosy.

It may not be obvious, but there are also big differences when it comes to flushing the toilet. How the water is directed through the toilet bowl has a significant influence on the flushing performance. If everything is clean after just one flush, you not only save water, but also reduce your cleaning effort. Flush technologies that direct the water spirally over the inner surface are more efficient. A good example is the Geberit TurboFlush flush technology.

Comfort and well-being include innovative shower toilets with additional functions such as odour extraction and powerful yet quiet flush technology. This brings us to the next bathroom trend.
