Homely, succinct, contemporary: Country-house style for the bathroom

In today's bathroom, the country-house style's once rustic character takes on a lighter and more restrained form. The modern reincarnation features natural materials, gentle colors and straight contours. Duravit demonstrates how this style can be applied with well-conceived washing areas in which bathroom furniture and ceramics combine harmoniously to create a calm, balanced atmosphere in the room.

Gentle lines, succinct character

A well-conceived design basis is needed to successfully realize the modern country-house style in the bathroom. Furniture with an air of lightness, spacious washing areas and unobtrusive faucets keep the room open and functional. The combined effect of smooth and straight-lined forms: The basins add discreet highlights with their gentle curvature, while the mirrors continue the washing area's design idiom. Free-standing bathtubs create a cozy atmosphere; succinct furniture carcasses and horizontal lines give structure to the room. Ranges such as Balcoon by Patricia Urquiola, Zencha by Sebastian Herkner, White Tulip by Philippe Starck or Luv by Cecilie Manz take up this sense of balance in their own way – and show the variety that can be achieved with timeless design in a modern country house-style bathroom.

Natural colors, subtle depth
Muted shades such as White, Crème, Sand, Greige and Light Grey characterize the design. Wood surfaces, ceramics in light or earthy shades, stone looks and matt finishes introduce depth and a natural materiality into the bathroom. The colors and materials combine to produce a light and balanced overall impression.

Warmth from fine details
Textiles, baskets, plants and curtains add gentle, homely touches. Daylight, indirect light and mirrors with integrated lighting reinforce the room's mellow character and conjure up a warm, pleasant mood.
