Bathroom trends in 2021: We love our home

2020 has put our lifestyles to the test. Many cherished habits have had to change, apparent certainties no longer apply. But there’s one thing that we have become conscious of: the importance of our home. It is where we live, work and spend our holidays. Reason enough to focus more on our home in 2021.

Bathrooms grow with their tasks

We need it for personal hygiene, morning rituals and other daily routines. However, a bathroom can do so much more. It is our private retreat, a place where we can forget about the world. So it should not only be functional, but also meet our wishes. In 2021, soft colours, velvety smooth surfaces and dimmable lights will turn the bathroom into a feel-good zone where we will want to spend more time than necessary. Cosy bathroom furniture in warm, earthy colours such as Truffle Grey and Soft Grey in the Collaro collection – with dimmable light strips for mood lighting – play a major role in the setting. The matt colour Stone White is ready for its grand appearance in 2021: as a complete look, it gives selected Quaryl® baths such as Finion, Theano or Oberon 2.0 a velvety smooth feel that is perfect for relaxing moments in the bathroom. On top of that, a smartphone can charge in the inductive charging station on the Finion shelf – essential in times of working from home.

Bringing the outside in

Be it the garden, patio or balcony: any private outdoor area is the luxury of the moment. So after kitchens, bathrooms will be conquering outdoor areas in 2021. Villeroy & Boch can turn anyone's dream of owning a hot tub into reality. Athletes, the health-conscious and wellness fans will all be in their element as the replaceable Jet-PaksTM can be easily swapped to provide a sports, therapeutic or relaxing massage. If a smaller format is preferred: sometimes all that is needed to merge the inside and outside spaces is a bathroom design rethink. One possibility would be to place the bath next to the window to reveal the scenery. Anyone who wants to embrace the trend without going to too much trouble can simply create a natural look on a wall or enhance their bathroom with exotic plants.

Satisfying the travel bug at home

Spending summer at home in no way means having to miss out on a holiday feeling. Villeroy & Boch provides many ways of bringing the outside world into the home. For instance, a shower toilet in the bathroom offers comfort often experienced in the best international hotels. It combines the toilet and bidet functions while providing a burst of freshness every time it is used. The ViClean-I 100 from Villeroy & Boch also features a very smart design: as the technology is integrated in the ceramic, it looks like any other conventional wall-mounted toilet. It blends harmoniously into any bathroom design, such as a bathroom with a maritime look. A blue Artis washbasin and a matching panel for a free-standing bath bring back memories of the last seaside holiday – and that every day.
