The focus is shifting in contemporary bathroom architecture: atmosphere, material quality, and a harmonious overall concept are gaining the edge on pure function. The bathroom is becoming part of the architecture of the home – intentionally open, artfully staged, and meticulously designed. The Duravit Artisan Lines ranges are a perfect fit for this philosophy. They fuse comfort, functionality, and aesthetics to create a distinctive and expressive spatial concept.

The floor plan: space to make an impact A statement bathroom commences with the room and the floor plan becomes a stage: with open transitions, floor-to-ceiling structures, and asymmetric lines instead of a conventional room subdivision. Fluid transitions reveal zones for washing, bathing, and relaxation. Large areas create showcasing opportunities; elements such as freestanding bathtubs, frameless showers, or integrated washbasins set clean accents. At the same time, elegant solutions combining both individuality and functionality can be created in a small space, using for instance niches or plinths.

The colours: courage to be yourself

Colours influence the atmosphere of any room – including the bathroom. Creating moods, setting accents, and adding character. Whether bold and expressive or calm and minimalist: every nuance tells its own story. Tone-in-tone concepts generate harmonious depth, while targeted contrasts introduce tension and dynamism. This transforms the colour scheme into a personal expression.

Decoration: expressive details

Materials, light, and accessories complete the design concept. Textured surfaces, coloured faucets, or sculptural objects create intentional accents. Elements including natural stone, pigmented plaster, or matt metal add visual and tactile depth. Combined with plants, candles, or small design objects, the resulting bathroom not only hits all functional notes, but acts as an expression of an individual lifestyle.
