HÜLSTA BATHROOM: 

In Stadtlohn, on 22nd November 2019 – the “Rat für Formgebung“(German Design Council) has named hülsta as one of the winners of the ”German Design Award 2020”. The hülsta Bathroom range belongs to the group of products and projects, which – according to the expert jury – will be leading the way in the German and international design landscape.

Even though the average European bathroom is not enormous, it now increasingly turns into a generous feel-good retreat. Instead of just being a place to start and end the day, the bathroom has become an exclusive spa landscape featuring an ever increasing homely and elegant atmosphere.

With the bathroom collections Gentis and Tetrim, hülsta puts its stamp on this trend with design-oriented and functional “Made in Germany” furniture. The experts of the “German Design Award“confirmed this by naming the hülsta Bathroom the winner in the category “Excellence Product Design – Bath and Wellness“. The jury statement reads:

” The thought-through design of this contemporary and elegant bathroom collection stands out with clean lines, strong contrasts and an interesting mix of materials delivering an unmistakeable interior design style. A versatile and perfectly balanced collection down to the last detail, which very much meets the requirements of quality style and functionality.”

It is not necessary to carry out a complete reform to a bathroom to create an inviting space. Here with the new and homely bathroom units and some special little tricks convert every bathroom into a cosy oasis of well-being.

1. STORAGE SPACES organise the bathroom, thus visually adding a sense of calm to the room. Less is more! This applies to the bathroom (just like to the rest of the house). Keeping things tidy makes life more comfortable. Closed wall-mounted and base cabinets with practical compartments and subdivisions are fabulous storage helpers, as many items can be perfectly kept free from dust. The new Gentis hülsta bathroom series offers many different bathroom furniture versions that allow you to perfectly furnish your home. https://www.vip-environment.com/bathroom

2. LIGHT If you allow as much daylight into the bathroom as possible, it will make it look bigger. The lighter a room, the larger it appears. You can achieve this by using (preferably light-coloured) shutters and blinds, which you can adjust to suit the time of day. It is also advisable to remove anything from near the window that makes the room unnecessarily dark. Another trick is the use of mirrors to reflect the light, thus bringing more brightness into the bathroom whilst visually extending the room.

3. PLANTS in the bathroom not only produce a better room climate, as they deliver oxygen and moisture, but they also have a positive impact on our well-being. As the bathroom is not ideal for all plants (due to high humidity and different light conditions), it is helpful to ask an expert as to which plants thrive in bathroom conditions. Plants such as zamia, parnassia, aspidistra and peace lilies are particularly suitable. Tip: simply put a bunch of fresh flowers in your bathroom! It will create a much cosier ambience.

4. HOOKS are great helpers – and a perfect complement to traditional storage spaces in the bathroom. It is best to use self-adhesive hooks to avoid damage to tiles or marble. It also eliminates the risk of drilling into water pipes or electricity cables. Beautifully designed hooks are also fabulous eye-catchers for your feel-good bathroom. Simply choose any that also look good when not in use.

5. COLOUR is always uplifting – even in the bathroom. Subtle natural shades give your bathroom a natural feel. Light pastel tones provide a fresh, light-hearted look. Tip: as there is high humidity in the bathroom, it is advisable to use appropriate paints. These are moisture-repellent and contain special chemical fungicides that prevent mould. Additionally, you can also experiment with beautiful wallpapers, however only put them on walls that splash-proof!

6. HIGHLIGHTS such as a marble sink, elegant textiles, stylish fittings, or unusual lamps turn plain bathrooms into something special. https://www.vip-environment.com/lighting Simply play with materials and textures to achieve your individual dream look! Tip: stylish towels create true miracles when it comes to creating that “wow” effect. Or maybe choose a small chandelier?

7. RUGS provide stylish dashes of colour and make every bathroom look more comfortable. Make sure that they are washable and easy to clean, they should also preferably fit into your washing machine. High-pile wool rugs are not suitable for bathrooms and should be avoided for obvious reasons. Tip: wipeable plastic rugs are advantageous, as they are extremely easy to care for and are suitable for wet conditions.

8. A FABRIC – Waterproof fabrics and outdoor fabrics can be used in the bathroom to a create a great ambrience. https://www.vip-environment.com/outdoor-furniture-fabrics.

9. BASKETS – whether large or small – are absolute must-haves in every feel-good bathroom! Made from natural materials such as rattan, water hyacinth or sea grass. https://www.vip-environment.com/accessories Large baskets are perfect for keeping things tidy; for instance, they are great for used towels and clothes. Smaller baskets, especially with a lid, are also exceptionally practical, making them a clever and easily accessible place to store cotton wool pads and other little bits and pieces.

10. DECORATIVE LADDERS are a versatile design feature – and they look pretty! As they are high rather than wide, they do not require much space and are therefore perfectly suitable even for small bathrooms. They are also very flexible and can be put wherever they are needed. Tip: you can casually place some towels or other bathroom items – or use the rungs to put your clothes onto.
