WITH the Darling New furniture range that boasts a fresh splash of colour, Duravit intends to bring spring into the bathroom.

Whereas cool white used to predominate, there is now an increasing desire for colour and warmth, says a spokesman for the Germany-based bathrooms specialist.

“Colours make an important contribution to our quality of life. They not only create a welcoming atmosphere but also individual contrasts and are crucial to our well-being,” he adds.

The fronts of the new range come together to create a bright symphony of colours using fresh green or azure blue to provide a cheerful splash of colour in the bathroom.

“Colours give rooms personality, create comfort and atmosphere. They act in a variety of different ways: the colour green is refreshing, whereas blue is relaxing. The lively structures of ‘pine silver’ and ‘pine terra’ add more subtle dashes of colour. The body and panel tops of the furniture are either a discreet, matt white or ‘Terra’,” the spokesman says.

In addition to being aesthetic, the new range is hard-wearing with surfaces such as counter tops and console panels, coated in textured varnish, making them particularly scratch-resistant.

Darling New offers a total of 52 different types of furniture. The range includes everything from a small wall shelf and flexible mobile storage unit to practical cabinets, both tall and low, offering a generous amount of storage space. The vanity units prove particularly versatile. Five different vanity units are available in widths ranging from 50 to 100 cm for combination with the Darling New furniture washbasins featuring a harmonious circular form.

For those who find themselves somewhat spoilt for choice, Duravit has developed a ‘style finder’ at www.mynewdarling.com that provides design aficionados and bathroom individualists with a fun way of seeking out their own personal solutions.
