Modern style

The skilful combination of functionality and contemporary aesthetics makes it possible to design a modern bathroom. This currently very popular style is characterised by clean lines, minimalist shapes and understated colours. If you want to furnish your bathroom in a modern style, you can use the following features as a guide:

Materials

High-quality materials such as glass, concrete or chrome create a clear, uncluttered and modern appearance. They can be freely combined according to taste.

Colours

This furnishing style is dominated by classic colours such as white, black or grey. These are often enhanced with wood or metal accents.

Equipment

The keyword when it comes to fittings: simplicity. Floating washbasins, floor-level showers and free-standing bathtubs emphasise the minimalist character of the modern bathroom.

Lighting

Discreet, often indirect light sources create a pleasant atmosphere. Cleverly and purposefully used, they set aesthetic accents.

The general rule for bathroom design is: anything you like is allowed. Depending on your personal taste, the different furnishing styles can of course also be combined with each other. It’s best to let your creativity run free!

Scandinavian style

The Scandi style emphasises simplicity and naturalness in the furnishings. Thanks to a light colour scheme in white, cream or soft pastel shades, a pleasant sense of space and airiness is created in the room. Natural materials such as wood, ceramics or stone add to the cosy Scandinavian feel and warmth.

The Scandinavian bathroom is rounded off with minimalist bathroom furniture sets and accessories. Plants such as succulents and soft textiles such as cotton or linen are particularly popular. Mirrors also ensure that as much light as possible is reflected, creating a harmonious oasis of relaxation.

Industrial style

The industrial style is characterised by a raw, urban aesthetic and is perfect for anyone who likes things a little cleaner. Old factories or lofts usually serve as a model for the furnishings here. Typical features of this bathroom design include visible pipework used for decoration, exposed metal structures and unplastered walls.

  • Materials such as concrete, stone, brick, steel or dark wood lend the room its typically striking character.
  • Neutral, earthy colours such as grey, black or brown are in the foreground and emphasise the industrial style.
  • Characteristic features include rustic fittings and minimalist pieces of furniture. Cast-iron, free-standing bathtubs are also a popular eye-catcher.

Country house style and rustic wood

If you want to design your bathroom in a country house style, you can achieve this primarily through the use of wood. The natural material is the DNA of this type of furnishing – the bathroom only really becomes rustic through the wood. Solid wood in warm, often dark colours is particularly popular.

Antique-style furniture and traditional fittings are also typical of the rustic, cosy atmosphere. Soft earthy colours and wood panelling underline the country aesthetic. Combined with ceramics or stone, the country house style is perfect.

Mediterranean style

The Mediterranean bathroom design brings the incomparable flair of the south into your own four walls. The atmosphere? Relaxed, airy and summery.

Traditionally, the Mediterranean style uses warm earthy colours such as terracotta, ochre or beige. Stronger tones such as blue or olive green are used to set specific accents.

Typical features of a Mediterranean bathroom

What else characterises Mediterranean furnishings? We have put together a practical overview for you. From materials and the choice of furniture to decoration and lighting, you can find out everything you need to know to design your dream bathroom.

Materials

Natural stone, wood, mosaic-style tiles and rough plaster or stone walls: all these materials epitomise the Mediterranean character.

Furniture

Furniture made of solid wood, often with a rustic patina (a thin, aged layer or surface) and materials such as rattan create stylish highlights.

Decoration

Whether ceramic vases, terracotta bowls or plants such as small olive trees or fragrant lavender – all these accessories bring the southern spirit of life into your bathroom.

Lighting

The cosy atmosphere is enhanced with the help of soft, warm light. Pretty lanterns or wall lamps are particularly suitable for this.

Minimalist style

Anyone dreaming of a minimalist home can easily adopt this style in the bathroom. It impresses with its minimalist, clear aesthetics and creates a calm, relaxed atmosphere in the room.

The characteristics of the minimalist furnishing style? Smooth surfaces, clean lines and an often monochrome colour palette. The colours black, white and grey usually play the main role here – as they not only immerse the bathroom in timeless elegance, but also make it appear larger and brighter.

  • Glass, concrete or stainless steel are unobtrusive materials that are the perfect choice for a minimalist bathroom.
  • Free-standing and wall-hung furniture and sanitary facilities keep the floor area free and create an open, airy feeling of space.
  • Cleverly integrated storage solutions, such as floating shelves or cabinets recessed into the wall, keep the look tidy.
  • A few, carefully selected accessories do not overload the bathroom design, but emphasise its calm overall effect

Overall, minimalism thrives on restraint. This type of furnishing exudes a feeling of clarity, serenity and relaxation – perfect for a retreat like the bathroom.

Vintage style

A touch of nostalgia and timeless elegance – these two characteristics are combined to perfection in the vintage style. This special bathroom style combines classic elements from past decades with modern highlights, creating a unique look that takes you and your guests on an exciting journey through history.

One of the most extravagant eye-catching features of vintage furnishings is freestanding bathtubs. They are often the centrepiece of a bathroom furnished in this style – no wonder, as they exude a wonderfully nostalgic charm. Chic retro fittings and eye-catching tile patterns are just as typical.

The colour palette is dominated by warm, muted tones such as cream, antique white or pastel colours. As a stylish contrast to this, vintage bathrooms often feature dark wooden furniture, ornate mirrors and eye-catching lights. Accessories such as historic soap dispensers or playful curtains provide the perfect finishing touch.
