Different design options for white bathrooms

There is a good reason why the colour white is associated with purity. It is neutral, bright and always looks simple and elegant. White makes a particularly good background for other colours. Naturally, then, white has been the most popular colour in the bathroom for many years.

Pairing gold and white in the bathroom

Shiny gold looks particularly elegant against classic white. Design a gold and white bathroom with gold taps and accessories. Metallic effects that shimmer in natural light work especially well. Mirrors create an impression of space in a small bathroom. Use lighting systems with a dimmer function to provide perfect illumination for the time of day and to show your bathroom at its best.

Black-and-white bathroom

A combination of black and white in the bathroom creates a very special contrast. Use white as the base colour and complete the look with black accessories. Black furniture and white ceramics will create a a very contemporary mood. Textiles with geometric black-and-white patterns are a great choice too.

A white & wood bathroom

If a very natural look appeals, you can combine white with other neutral colours. Wood is a natural material that will transform the bathroom into a Scandi-style sanctuary of wellness. Wooden shelves or vanity units and beige-coloured textiles coordinate perfectly with white fittings. For a light, fresh look, combine white with oak-coloured furniture.
