Colors have an effect on our bodies and our psyches. They influence our sense of wellbeing – often unconsciously. We only notice how important they are to our mood when they’re missing. What do you long for on a gloomy, foggy day? What sound would you take with you to a desert island? That’s exactly what it should be when you design your bathroom. It is, after all, a sanctuary. It's where you can enjoy precious time to yourself. A fragrant bath or a gently massaging shower are sensuous experiences that make you more mindful and aware of your surroundings. Which nuance you choose should therefore depend on your personal feel-good factor.
Color therapy shows us: Every shade has its own special effect. This is also true in the bathroom:
Blue stands for water, a classic in the bathroom. It feels harmonious and calm – but also cool. With a touch of yellow, it turns into stimulating turquoise. Blue lends width to small spaces.
Green represents the freshness of nature: perfect for a healthy balance between relaxation and vitality. The bluer the tone, the calmer the room.
Gray feels purist, businesslike, technical. Although it itself is neutral, gray makes every other tone shine. This makes it ideal as a combination color.
Black, elegance and darkness. It is unfathomably beautiful, but can feel oppressive. Used sparingly, black is elegant and classy.
Brown has a balancing effect and conveys a feeling of security. Warm earth tones such as ocher or sienna turn your bathroom into a natural space of wellbeing.
White is pure and clear – but also unapproachable. White is the perfect color for combinations. It neutralizes, brightens, invigorates, and gives you every possibility in design.
The choice of shades for walls and floors alone is huge – and that’s not all. In addition to sanitation objects and furniture, faucets can also be different colors. Choose between black, white, gold, bronze, or the “classic” chrome. The possible combinations are almost endless. With a cohesive color concept that incorporates your entire bathroom, you can design your personal dream oasis.
At their core, colors work tone on tone or as a contrast. Choose pleasant basic colors. Play with nuances. Delicate pastel shades form a beautiful contrast to dark surfaces. Deliberately set accents with signal colors like red and yellow. Black faucets and sanitary furniture are currently very popular. They can be combined wonderfully with muted tones on walls and floors.
The deciding factor is what makes you feel good: What do you like to surround yourself with? You should also think about the look and feel of the surfaces. The finish will help shape the atmosphere of a room – whether through special finishes on walls and floors or custom surface designs that showcase the faucets. The important thing is a harmonious blend that can turn your bathroom into an oasis of peace and relaxation.
Whether elegant black, soft pastel shades, or a dream in white: Preferences are as varied as people themselves. What’s important is a cohesive overall concept – including color and finish. This will make your bathroom the dream you want it to be. Enjoy.
