The bathroom trends for 2024Modern bathrooms on show
Whether a modern walk-in shower, smart light control in the mirror cabinet or a toilet with gentle shower spray, feel-good moments are paramount in the modern bathroom. Soft colours, strong contrasts and lots of clever technology should not be missing. Designer Christoph Behling outlines the latest bathroom trends for 2024.
Bathroom furniture trends
“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.
“Matte ceramic surfaces and colors 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 color, 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.
Modern showers and bathtubs
Tiled floor-even showers are replacing old shower cubicles and impress thanks to barrier-free entry to the shower area. “Flooring that covers the entire bathroom is practical and makes the room appear larger and more architecturally elegant,” adds Christoph Behling.
When it comes to the bathtub, the freestanding version remains very popular. As these usually have a special design, the room becomes architecturally eye-catching with a minimum of effort. With the addition of a whirlpool function, the bathtub can even transform the bathroom into a mini oasis of well-being just for you.
Current colors and combinations
Pantone announced Peach Fuzz – a mixture of pink and orange – as its 2024 Color 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 color can help to increase the sense of space in the room while also ensuring a cozy atmosphere. In the bathroom, Peach Fuzz can be combined particularly well with other pastel colors, warm brown shades, and white.
Black matte will continue to gain in popularity in the bathroom. Similar to chrome, it can be combined with every color and tile. As a tap or furniture color, black matte 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 color absorbs reflected light, the bathroom is less brighter and therefore more cosy.
