Bringing a touch of nature to the bathroom: with its authentic feel and colour, wood generates an atmosphere of warmth. In addition to darker shades like walnut and wenge, light wood finishes are becoming more and more popular. Unlike their darker counterparts, "blonde" woods add lightness to the look. Woods such as oak reflect light creating a more expansive impression, particularly in smaller bathrooms. Light wood can be used in such a wide variety of combinations, there is plenty of scope for realising individual style.
In his Vero furniture collection, designer Kurt Merki Jr. has interpreted light wood tones to produce something purely aesthetic. Thanks to its elementary forms, the Duravit range is both understated and yet sets strong accents at the same time: the grain is horizontal throughout, while the glossy chrome handles are arranged vertically. This combination results in a very impressive effect. Accentuated by the LED illumination, the grained tones of the "Mediterranean Oak" real-wood surface conjure up a very natural ambience in the bathroom.
The elegant proportions and exquisite design of X-Large by sieger design highlight the architectural character of light wood. The fine lines introduce visual clarity to the bathroom. The contour of the furniture is 24 mm thick, yet only the reduced edge height of 12 mm is actually visible. This fine edge detail on the consoles and vanity unit produces a shadow gap which creates an almost floating effect. X-Large in Brushed Oak real-wood veneer introduces a very natural feel to the bathroom. Seven other surface finishes are available, providing plenty of scope for individual colour schemes.
With its Delos range, the EOOS design collective has achieved minimalist elegance for the bathroom. The strict geometric design of the furniture collection is not broken up by any handles whatsoever, as the doors extend slightly beyond the edges, allowing them to be used to open the cupboards. With its brushed tactile finish, the light oak real-wood veneer highlights the quality of this range while introducing an authentic touch to the bathroom.
